Chapter XI
Denunciation. But what of Juliette? What of this wild, passionate, romantic creature tortured by a Titanic conflict? She, but a girl, scarcely yet a woman, torn by the greatest antagonistic powers that ever fought for a human soul. On the one side duty, tradition, her dead brother, her father--above all, her religion and the oath she had sworn before God; on the other justice and honour, a case of right and wrong, honesty and pity.
