He stared at her for a moment in sheer surprise. "Was to have married?" he repeated incredulously, dismayed almost.
"You did not know that?"
"But how do you?"
"Did I not tell you that we are as brother and sister almost? I have his confidence. He told me, before... before you made it impossible."
He looked away, chin in hand, his glance thoughtful, disturbed, almost wistful.
"There is," he said slowly, musingly, "a singular fatality at work between that man and me, bringing us ever each by turns athwart the other's path... "
He sighed; then swung to face her again, speaking more briskly: "Mademoiselle, until this moment I had no knowledge-no suspicion of this thing. But..." He broke off, considered, and then shrugged.
