Hammond poured himself a glass of wine, drunk it slowly, and then fell

"Is that all?" I asked at last. "Did you not see her again?"

"No," he answered, "I never saw her again. Probably, as her father
had intimated, he did not intend that I should. But circumstances also
prevented. The very next day there was an explosion in college. There
had been a Judas among my fellow-disciples, and the faculty had been
informed of the Positivist propaganda going on under their noses. I
was suspended for six months. When I returned to college, Regnier
had disappeared. He had of course been promptly dismissed, and it was
rumored that he had gone back to France. He had left no trace, and I
never heard of him again or of his daughter. I don't even know the name
of the woman I worshiped."
