Chapter LXIX
Madame de Morcerf entered an archway of trees with her companion. It led through a grove of lindens to a conservatory. “It was too warm in the room, was it not, count?” she asked. “Yes, madame; and it was an excellent idea of yours to open the doors and the blinds.” As he ceased speaking, the count felt the hand of Mercédès tremble.
