Boleslav was almost happy. He had hit on a new and brilliant idea, and / the hopes of carrying it out brightened for a time the deadening / monotony of his existence. He believed he could clear his father's / memory.
How it had first occurred to him he hardly knew. He had found certain / letters from Polish noblemen addressed to his father, which seemed to / suggest that the deceased had felt himself bound by a hastily-made / promise which at the time he had not meant seriously, and that a chain / of tragic circumstances had compelled him against his will to be a / party to the treachery. If this did not exonerate him from all guilt, / it at least put the slandered man in a new light -- the light of a / martyr.
