Without, the distant firing was growing fiercer. She leaped from her bed and ranto the casement to listen. Four o'clock was striking from a steeple in Sedan, and day was breaking, tingeing the purplish mists with a sickly, sinister light. It wasimpossible to discern objects; even the college buildings, distant buta few yards, were undistinguishable. Where could the firing be, _monDieu_! Her first thought was for her brother Maurice; for the reportswere so indistinct that they seemed to her to c...ome from the north, abovethe city; then, listening more attentively, her doubt became certainty;the cannonading was there, before her, and she trembled for her husband. It was surely at Bazeilles. For a little time, however, she sufferedherself to be cheered by a ray of hope, for there were moments whenthe reports seemed to come from the right. Perhaps the fighting was atDonchery, where she knew that the French had not succeeded in blowingup the bridge. Then she lapsed into a condition of most horribleuncertainty; it seemed to be now at Donchery, now at Bazeilles; which, it was impossible to decide, there was such a ringing, buzzing sensationin her head.
