The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Beauty and The Beast by Bayard Taylor: either the instigator or the accomplice. "Y.," or Count
Kasincsky,--and I was more than ever inclined to connect the two,--
-also had his mystery, which might, or might not, be identical with
the first. By comparing dates, I found that the entry made
December 27 was three days later than the date of the letter of
"Amelie de----"; and the exclamation "All for naught!"
certainly referred to the disappointment it contained. I now
guessed the "H." in the second entry to mean "Helmine." The two
last suggested a removal to Warsaw from the country. Here was a
little more ground to stand on; but how should I ever get at the
secret?
