Chapter XXVII
“You have read it?” said Armand, when I had finished the manuscript. “I understand what you must have suffered, my friend, if all that I read is true.” “My father confirmed it in a letter.” We talked for some time over the sad destiny which had been accomplished, and I went home to rest a little. Armand, still sad, but a little relieved by the narration of his story, soon recovered, and we went together to pay a visit to Prudence and to Julie Duprat.
