In the course of the walk I was told how Justine Marie Sauveur had always been regarded with the affection proper to a daughter how, with M. Paul's consent, she had been affianced for months to one Heinrich Muehler, a wealthy young German merchant, and was to be married in the course of a year.
This family-junta seemed grasping at her somehow, for some reason; there seemed question of a marriage, of a fortune for whom I could not quite make out-perhaps for Victor Kint, perhaps for Josef Emanuel both were bachelors. Once I thought the hints and jests rained upon a young fair-haired foreigner of the party, whom they called Heinrich Muehler.
The answer was prompt enough, God knows? "Mais oui, je vous aiderai de tout mon coeur. Vous ferez de moi tout ce que vous voudrez, mon parrain." And this dear "parrain" took her hand and lifted it to his grateful lips. Upon which demonstration, I saw the light-complexioned young Teuton, Heinrich Muehler, grow restless, as if he did not like it.
