Excerpt from The Hungarian Brothers, Vol. 2 of 3 After Madame de Fontainville's illness, she had caused it to be understood, that she was going to join her father: Charles was by this means completely deceived; and when he learned her departure, trusted she at length saw the impropriety of that persecuting constancy with which she had so long traversed his views for Demetrius. In the circle at Ingersdorf House he would have sought relief from the many cares which oppressed him, had he not painfully found that the amiable Adelaide grew every day more interesting to his heart; that she frequently betrayed a solicitude so tender, as to banish for the time all remembrance of her engagement and his own poverty. He absented himself from the Baroness's work-room, where formerly he passed every morning with Adelaide, and he would have abandoned the Baron's dinners, also, could he have done so without apparent ingratitude.
