Was there a single miracle that had been
positively proved ? She said to herself that it was
concurrences, concurrences.
It was like unraveling a tangle. From that which

The raging monk continued to rebuke the people
in terrible language. She tried to listen to him,
that she might get away from her own thoughts.
But it only seemed to her that all he said was
madness and falsehood.

and he was standing on the church step, quite near
the monk. His eyes rested upon her. And just as

positively he knew what was taking place within her.

spared her.
