Chapter 279

- The days blended into each other, the greyness around them changing to white during the mid-morning, only to become a bleak grey at night.
- One morning, a few days later, he caught the old man alone. On seeing him, the old fellow tried to quicken his pace but Lucien was swifter and lunging forward from his imprisonment near the bed, he grabbed the man’s neck.
