Oh, if I but knew where he was gone! If I could but find him! One word --one word would set all right! It always did, Valencia, always! He was so kind, so dear in a moment, when I put away my naughty, naughty temper, and smiled in his face like a good wife. Wicked creature that I was! and this is my punishment. Oh, Elsley, one word, one word! I must find him if I went barefoot over the mountains--I must go, I must--

He is so--so hasty. He will kill him! Valencia, he will kill him! Promise me not to tell him, or I shall go mad!
gpt
Oh, Valencia, if I dared only scream! but keeping it in kills me. It is like a sword through my brain now!

Let me call Clara.

No, no! not Clara. Do not tell her, I will be quiet; indeed I will; only come back soon, soon; for I am all alone, alone!
