E-Books for you

You realize what must have been
his state of mind. You realize what a prey he was to emotions so
conflicting, and if you have the imagination that will enable you
to put yourself in his place, you will also realize how impossible
was any decision save the one to which he says he came, that he
would move, at the first moment that he perceived in what direction
it would serve his real aims to move.
It happened that the first person he saw when he took the stage on
that Thursday evening was Aline; the second was the Marquis de La
Tour d'Azyr. They occupied a box on the right of, and immediately
above, the stage. There were others with them - notably a thin,
elderly, resplendent lady whom Andre-Louis supposed to be Madame
la Comtesse de Sautron. But at the time he had no eyes for any but
those two, who of late had so haunted his thoughts. The sight of
either of them would have been sufficiently disconcerting. The
sight of both together very nearly made him forget the purpose for
which he had come upon the stage.
