"I had in mind the daughter of the Countess Voig, whose name chances to be Elizabeth.

She was educated at a convent in Antwerp, and the countess has lived in that city for several years, in order to be nearer her daughter.

There was some gossip here that the young lady had married in Antwerp, just after leaving the convent; but we know little of the life of the Voigs because they are very reserved.

Two or three months ago they returned to their castle, which is four miles to the north of Charleroi, and there they are still living in retirement.

Every day the old steward drives into town to visit the post office, but we have not seen the countess nor her daughter since they came back." Patsy related this news to Uncle John, who did not understand French.
"Let us drive over to Castle Voig the first thing," she said.
"But, my dear, it's unreasonable," he objected.
