The Companions of Jehu

CHAPTER XLVII
2/16

He was accepted.
He felt that his presence in Bourg, if prolonged, would be an impropriety, Amelie being (still on the plea of ill-health) parted from her mother and brother.

He therefore announced that he would pay her a second visit on the morrow, and leave Bourg that same evening.

He would delay further visits until Amelie came to Paris, or until Madame de Montrevel returned to Bourg.

The latter arrangement was the more probable of the two, for Amelie assured him she needed the country air and the spring-like weather to assist her in recovering her health.
Thanks to Sir John's considerate delicacy, the plan arranged between Amelie and Morgan was thus carried out, and the two lovers had before them a period of solitude and a respite in which to form their plans.
Michel learned these details from Charlotte and imparted them in turn to Roland.

The latter determined to await Sir John's departure before he took any decisive steps against the Companions of Jehu.
