"Personally so," returned Count M———, "his name, I know, has too often been disgraced by bad actions—but here they rest."
Turning to Heli—"Perhaps he can give some solution of this strange business.—My friend," said he to Ferdinand, "will you inquire."
The surgeon here interposed.—"I think, gentlemen, you had best defer 'till to-morrow any examination; the sudden and fatal effects which attend the agitation of the spirits, we have just seen; and if I can translate that man's looks, he is not likely to be very placid."
They subscribed to this opinion; and therefore Ferdinand addressed him in very soothing terms, to which the other made no reply.
The body was removed to another room, and the surgeon undertook to send a proper person to attend on Heli.
"But what," cried the Count, "is become of the women servants?"
This question was again asked of Heli.
