Chapter XXXI
GEORGE AND LEOPOLD. George went again to Leopold's room, and sat down by him. The youth lay with his eyes half closed, and a smile--a faint sad one--flickered over his face. He was asleep: from infancy he had slept with his eyes open. "Emmeline!" he murmured, in the tone of one who entreats forgiveness.
