We took rooms in a German private hotel on the
shores of the Lake of Lucerne.
Marie relapsed into her former Avays. She paid a great
deal of attention to one of the guests, a young officer ;
played ninepins with him, and took melancholy walks in
the garden while I worked.
I noticed at dinner that they exchanged tender glances,
although no words were uttered. They seemed to caress
one another with the eyes. I resolved to put them to the
test at once, and, turning round sharply, looked straight
into my wife’s face. She tried to throw me off the scent
by letting her eyes glide along the young man’s temples
until thy rested on the wall, on a spot which Avas adorned
by a huge poster advertising a brewery. She made an
inane remark to cover her confusion.
"Is that a new brewery? " she stammered.
’’
Yes . . . but don’t imagine that you can hoodwink
me," I retorted.
She bent her neck, as if I had pulled in the reins, and
remained silent.
Tavo days later, in the evening, on pretence of being
tired, she kissed me good-night and left the room. I too
went to bed, and after reading for a little while, fell
asleep.
All of a sudden I awoke. Some one was playing the
piano in the drawing-room ; a voice was singing—it was
Marie’s voice.
I arose and called the children’s nurse.
