He was impatient of the chain
he could not break, especially
as a child was horn the succeed
ing year, wliose paternity he re
fused to acknowledge. These
refusals caused scenes of recri in
itiation and often of positive vi
olence between the lovers. The
man wearied of the connection?
and the woman clung devotedly
to him for whom she had sacri
ficed her honor. Gambetta dis
liked the child, who was sickly,
but intelligent, and lived as his
nephew. He resembled Gam
betta in character and features.
Two years ago Leonie's husband
died, and she summoned Gam
betta to fulfil his promise of
marriage, but received another
refusal. He made an agree
ment, however, to provide for
young Leon, on the condition
that he should be- educated in
Germany. The mother hesitat
ed, but finally consented, and
accompanied the child and his
father to Dresden. The connec
tion was continued after their
return, Leonie going every Sat
urday evening to his villa, where
she was accepted as mistress by
the servants, and returning Mon
day morning in his carriage.
Their quarrels also continued.
Within a week three discharged
domestics revealed the myste
ries of that ill-starred establish
ment. Finally the dissensions
culminated in the scene of the
unhappy pistol shot. Gambet
ta lost his temper, giving vent
to abuse and coarse language,
such as he was wont to employ
in moments of passion. She
was exasperated, seized a revol
ver, and fired. lie raised his
hand to turn aside the weapon,
and received his death wound.
