Eugenia had suddenly spoken her husband's name and Captain Castaigne had gotten up to go over to her.
However, he stopped long enough to expostulate. "That was an extraordinary idea of yours, Miss Davis. Hume was only talking of his old nurse. His mother died when he was a baby and she brought him up. I have heard him speak of 'Mother Susan' myself. The Countess you visited in Surrey is a cousin of Hume's, I think, and the old nurse and her husband live there. Hume was having Mother Susan nurse him when you met, I expect. Hope you two may see each other some day in the United States and laugh over that impression of yours, Miss Davis," Captain Castaigne concluded, as he walked over to his wife's side.
At midnight Captain Castaigne and Eugenia went back to the chateau, walking hand-in-hand like children through the woods. There was no fighting these days in this particular portion of southern France and in the peace of the night one could almost forget that the world was at war.
"You will miss your friends when they return to their own country, Eugenia," Captain Castaigne suggested.
Eugenia nodded. "Yes, they will be gone, I believe, in another month.
But we will go over ourselves some day, Henri, and perhaps you may learn to care for my country as I do for yours."
"Yes, and think of the service I shall owe her for the work the American Red Cross has done for France!" the young officer concluded, and in the darkness lifted his cap for a moment.
"Whatever Lafayette did for you in the cause of freedom, your land has now fully repaid."
