Chapter XX
THE TRIO OF LOVE. Without knowing who was helping her, Andrea began to recover consciousness but instinctively she knew help had come. At length, with open but ghostly eyes, she stared at Charny without yet recognizing him. She pushed him away, with a scream, then. The Queen averted her eyes although she ought to have played the woman's part of comforter.
