The hunchback answered him, coolly: "That will happen, Monsieur de
Chavernay."
At that moment the door opposite to the antechamber opened, and the
figure of a fair girl appeared.
"Your bride approaches," said Gonzague, and moved towards the new-comer,
suddenly pausing with an angry frown as he perceived that she was not
alone, for Gabrielle, very pale, but with courage in her eyes and
determination on her lips, entered the room accompanied by the gypsy girl
Flora. To Flora Gonzague spoke, angrily: "Why are you here? This is no
place for you."
The gypsy looked at him defiantly. "This is my place," she said, "for I
have found my friend, and I think she needs my friendship."
