Then, making an effort to control herself, she said: "Is that the end of it for Sir John and you?
Will you be called to testify again ?" "Probably not," replied Madame de Montrevel.
"In any case," observed Sir John, "as neither your mother nor I recognized any one, she will persist in that declaration." "Oh I most certainly," exclaimed Madame de Montrevel.

"God keep me from causing the death of that unhappy young man.

I should never forgive myself.

It is bad enough that Roland should have been the one to capture him and his companions." Amelie sighed, but nevertheless her face assumed a calmer expression.
She looked gratefully at Sir John, and then went up to her room, where Charlotte was waiting for her.
