It is not necessary for you to stay; not at all.

If you are coming back again to Engelberg it will be all right.

You say you are coming back ?" "I am sure to come back to Engelberg," he answered, with gloomy emphasis.
For already Roland began to feel that he, himself, was dead, and a new life, utterly different from the old, was beginning for him.

And this new life, beginning here, would often draw him back to its birth-place.
There would be an attraction for him here, even in the humble grave where men thought they had buried Roland Sefton.

It would be the only link with his former life, and it would draw him to it irresistibly.
"And what is your name and employment, my good fellow ?" asked the mayor.
"Jean Merle," he answered promptly.
