to see a truth which Artois had neither seen nor suspected. Artois
began to believe it possible, as he remembered many details of the
conduct of Hermione and of Gaspare in these last summer days. There

Hermione had believed it to be true, much in her conduct that had
puzzled Artois was made plain. Could she have thought that? Had she
thought it? And if she had--? Always he was looking out to the stars,
and to the ineffable calm of the sea. But now their piercing
brightness, and its large repose, only threw into a sort of blatant
relief in his mind its consciousness of the tumult of humanity.
