THE TEST OF LOVE 397 cried, ‘‘ No, everything is at an end between us. I have put you to a test, and I have discovered your real character. Thank God that I have done so. The veil of infatuation has fallen from my eyes. Beautiful serpent that you are, there is guile on your lips, poison throughout your entire being. Farewell, farewell, for ever.’’ With these words he turned and fled precipitately. “Frank, dearest Frank,’ exclaimed Juliana, speeding after him, “‘ come back to me — come back to me, I conjure you.” But he heeded her not; the paling was reached, he sprang over 1t quickly, he flew across the park, and in afew minutes was out of sight.
