Chapter XXVII
THE BLOOD Lady Dubarry had not seen the street door close after her before Balsamo hurried up into the room where he had left Lorenza. But she was gone. Her fine flowered cashmere shawl remained on the cushions as a token of her stay in the room. A painful thought struck him that she had feigned to sleep. Thus she would have dispelled all uneasiness, doubts and mistrust in her husband’s mind only to flee at the first chance for liberty.
