Lua refused to accompany us; but she urged Anina to go, and the little girl was ready enough to take advantage of her mother's permission.

We returned home and spent a sad evening, although I was to accompany Julie as far as Lyons on the box of her carriage.

She accompanied me to the door; I opened it, and said as I kissed her hand in the passage, "Good-bye, till the morrow!"
