Chapter XVI
At the end of the week a telegram came from Madame, asking Antonio to go to Albano. "She can't live without him," thought Regina, assailed by a spasm of real jealousy. "I feel scruples at having merely gone into her house in her absence, but she has no scruples, none! I won't allow him to go!" She was unreasonable, and she knew it; but the delirium, the quiet madness of doubt, had become habitual with her.
