Ella Russel dorf, the child of Ivan's adoption, and to whom he had given his name, was to marry "on or before the nineteenth anniversary of the day of her birth." If she chose to disregard this last wish of her benefactor, then the legacy in question was to proceed to Ivan's next-of-kin. who, was Count Udo Voronski, living in the County of H-shire, England,

But in the morning?”

There was a silence for almost a minute, and then the Countess, fixing her black eyes upon he husband, said quietly, "She will not wake until very late in the day. Do not disturb yourself; it is nothing, that will harm her; it only produces a long sleep, and leaves 'no vestige of a trace. Are you willing?"
