When Halcyone left the Fortezza she was conscious of no feeling of depression or grief.

Rather a gladness and security filled her heart.
She had seen him with her mortal eyes--her dear lover--and he was in truth greatly in need of all her care and tender thoughts.

Her beliefs were so intense in those forces of protection with which that God Whom she worshiped so truly surrounded her, that she never for a moment doubted but these invisible currents would be directed to the disentangling of destiny's threads.
She made no speculations as to how this would be--God would find the way.

Her attitude was never one of pious resignation to a divine chastisement.

She did not believe God ever meant to chastise anyone.
