I allowed Adele to sit up much later than usual; for she declared she could not possibly go to sleep while the doors kept opening and shutting below, and people bustling about. Besides, she added, a message might possibly come from Mr. Rochester when she was undressed; "et alors quel dommage!"

He is a good fellow, and immensely rich: it is Fitzwarrene; he owes me great favours. 'Dear Mirabel, I am delighted to see you. This is good and kind. I am so damned dull here. It quite gladdens me to see you; but do not talk about money. 'Here is 500L.; four other fellows at 500L. we can manage it. 'No more, no more! I beseech you. 'But you cannot stop here. Quel drôle appartement!

"You will be in good company, sir," said I. At that he threw back his head and laughed, and Bill Cowan and my friends laughed with him. "Good company c'est la plupart de la vie," said Monsieur Vigo.

Pour devenir membre d'une de ces Societes, on doit avoir le moins de cheveux possible.

But I have brought you the sketch; and am so pleased that you asked for it. It is charming charming! What shall we give to our painter for his chef-d'oeuvre? There is my pay! And you will be glad to hear that two of my portraits have been received at the Exhibition. My uncle, the clergyman, and Mr. Butts, of the Life Guards. Ethel. Mr. Butts quel nom! Je ne connois aucun M. Butts! Clive.
