Chapter III
When Ledscha heard the strokes of the oars she stopped again and, with glowing cheeks, gazed after the boat and the glimmering silver furrow which it left upon the calm surface of the moonlit water. Her heart was heavy. The doubts of her lover's sincerity which the slave had awakened tortured her proud soul. Was Hermon really only trifling mischievously with her affection? Surely it was impossible.
