It was Mr. Trafford who responded to the announcement of the death which
had been sent to Madame de Trafford:--
"_Château le Beaujour, par Onzain, Cher et Loire, ce 1 Mai
1864._--Croyez, ma chère Demoiselle, que nous partageons bien votre
douleur, mais femme propose, et Dieu dispose. Vous savez que Madame
de Trafford avait prévu ce qui est arrivé.... Madame de Trafford
vous dira encore 'Espérance et Confiance.'
"E. W. TRAFFORD."
