Led by the guards, Esmeralda hobbled back to the courtroom. Djali’s heartbroken bleating echoed her sorrow. “So, you’ve confessed!” the judge exclaimed. “Good! Within two months, you will be taken to the Cathedral of Notre Dame. There you will beg for the forgiveness of your soul.

May God have mercy on your soul.” “Oh, this must be a dream,” the horrified girl cried out. Rough hands pulled her away.

Esmeralda’s cell was cold, dark, and damp. She had not a single blanket to keep her warm.
