 as if you were shut up that way, papa. I
am afraid to be happy when any one is so wretched."

The result was, that Elizabeth's words, and not so much her words as
the state of things she contrived to make apparent by them, brought
Adolphus Montier to a clear, resistless sense of the prisoner's fate.
Over the features of that fate he was for days brooding. Now and then a
word that indicated the direction of his thinking would escape him in
his wife's hearing. Silently Pauline followed Adolphus to the end of
all this thinking. Once she walked alone along the unfrequented road
that ran between the prison and the wood, down to the sea; and she
looked at the gloomy fortress, and tried to think about it as she
should, if certain that within its walls her lot would soon be cast.

And more than once Montier walked home that way; and if it chanced that
he had his horn or his drum with him, he marched at quickstep, and
played the liveliest tunes, and emerged from the shadows of the wood
with a spirit undaunted. He had played for the prisoner, whom he had
never yet seen,--but not more for him than for himself.

One Sunday, when the little family walked out together, Adolphus and
his wife fell into a pleasant train of thought,--and when they were
together, thought and speech were generally simultaneous. As they
passed the prison,--for Adolphus had led the way to this path,--Laval
was standing in the door. They stopped to speak with him; whereat he
invited them into his quarters.

In this walk, Elizabeth had fallen behind her parents. When she saw
them going into the prison, she quickened her pace, for her father
beckoned to her. But she was in no earnest haste to follow, as became
sufficiently manifest when she was left alone.

They had not gone far in their talk, however, when she came to the
doorway. Laval, in all his speech, was a deliberate man, and neither
Adolphus nor his wife showed any eagerness in the conduct of the
conversation now begun. The contrast between the gloom of the apartment
and the light and cheerfulness of their own home was apparent to all of
them. Elizabeth
as if you were shut up that way, papa. I 
 am afraid to be happy when any one is so miserable. " 

 The resultant role was, that Elizabeth's words, and not so much her quarrel as 
 the state of things she plan to make apparent by them, brought 
 Adolphus Montier to a clean, resistless sense of the prisoner's fortune. 
 Over the features of that fate he was for day brooding. Now and then a 
 word that indicated the direction of his thinking would miss him in 
 his wife's hearing. Silently Pauline followed Adolphus to the end of 
 all this thinking. Once she walk alone along the unfrequented road 
 that ran between the prison and the wood, down to the ocean; and she 
 looked at the blue fortress, and tried to think about it as she 
 should, if certain that within its wall her lot would soon be cast. 

 And more than once Montier walked home that way; and if it chanced that 
 he had his horn or his drum with him, he marched at quickstep, and 
 played the liveliest tunes, and emerged from the shadows of the wood 
 with a spirit undaunted. He had played for the prisoner, whom he had 
 never so far seen,--but not more for him than for himself. 

 One Sunday, when the little family walk out in concert, Adolphus and 
 his wife fall into a pleasant train of thought,--and when they were 
 together, opinion and speech were generally simultaneous. As they 
 passed the prison,--for Adolphus had head the way to this path,--Laval 
 was standing in the door. They stopped to speak with him; whereat he 
 invited them into his quarter. 

 In this walk, Elizabeth had fallen behind her parents. When she saw 
 them survive into the prison, she quickened her footstep, for her father 
 beckoned to her. But she was in no earnest haste to follow, as become 
 sufficiently manifest when she was left alone. 

 They had not rifle far in their talk, however, when she came to the 
 doorway. Laval, in all his speech, was a deliberate world, and neither 
 Adolphus nor his wife showed any readiness in the conduct of the 
 conversation now begun. The contrast between the gloom of the apartment 
 and the light and cheerfulness of their own dwelling was apparent to all of 
 them. Elizabeth
