When I saw Nanette in my arms, beaming with love, and Marton near the bed, holding a candle, with her eyes reproaching us with ingratitude because we did not speak to her, who, by accepting my first caresses, had encouraged her sister to follow her example, I realized all my happiness. "Let us get up, my darlings," said I, "and swear to each other eternal affection."
I wonder at my young friends imagining that such news can be anything but delightful to me. I express all my joy at the certainty of passing the next five hours with the beloved mistress of my heart. Another hour is spent, when suddenly Nanette begins to laugh, Angela wants to know the reason, and Marton whispering a few words to her, they both laugh likewise. This puzzles me.
Both were handsomer than Angela, and they were superior to her Nanette by her charming wit, Marton by her sweet and simple nature; I could not understand how I had been so long in rendering them the justice they deserved, but they were the innocent daughters of a noble family, and the lucky chance which had thrown them in my way ought not to prove a calamity for them.
"No, only one." "And you knocked him down?" "It was impossible for he ran away. Now I have done my walking, and give back the stick with thanks." But it was not the silver handle that delighted Márton so. He took the returned stick into the shop, like some trophy, and related to the assistants, how Master Lorand had, with that alone, knocked down three highwaymen.
If I had paid this visit, as I might have done, a week sooner, loving Lucie would have confided in me, and I would have prevented that self-murder. If I had acted with her as with Nanette and Marton, she would not have been left by me in that state of ardent excitement which must have proved the principal cause of her fault, and she would not have fallen a prey to that scoundrel.

I longed to represent the character I had prepared myself for, and feeling assured that Angela, even if she should prove less cruel, would only grant me insignificant favours, I despised them in anticipation, and resolved to be avenged. After waiting three quarters of an hour the street door was locked, and a moment later Nanette and Marton entered the room. "Where is Angela?" I enquired.
After this the widow asked me to sit down. "I cannot, Madame." "Why, I beg?" "I have ." "I understand. Nanette, shew the way." "Dear aunt, excuse me." "Well, then, Marton." "Oh! dear aunt, why do you not insist upon my sister obeying your orders?" "Alas! madame, these young ladies are quite right. Allow me to retire."
Les Gros Ventres for the time, forgot their corporosity, and began to dance and howl, and declare that they would fight till all their blood was spilt with M. Riel, or his adjutant M. Marton. The Blackfeet began to hold pow-wows, and tell their squaws that there would soon be good feasts. For many a day they had been casting covetous eyes upon the fat cattle of their white neighbours.
"Well, good-bye, and God bless you, Móczli," said Márton hastily. "If you don't know about it, someone else must know about it.
