Let it be, Sophie." And so my second night in March came on.
"If Michael Petrovitch should be out of temper when we meet him, do not be disturbed. Do not, for the sake of our family, Sophie, betray yourself by by your face to-night. Remember, if the scene should grow unbearable I can always " "Yes, yes, Kasha. Thank you. But let us not speak of it further just now." A moment's silence.
"Give way to my sister," said Louise, in a beseeching voice; and Eva was ready, let down her long brown hair, and allowed Sophie to arrange the drapery. Otto must put on an officer's uniform. He presented himself to the sisters. "That gold is not sewn fast on the collar," said Sophie, and undertook to rectify it. He could easily keep the uniform on whilst she did this, said she.
He had not much admired the count, but the count's sister had been odious to him. "I will be your friend. Believe me."

Monsieur Lavilette stood in the doorway, and behind him, at a carefully disposed distance, was Madame, rather more emphatically dressed than necessary. As he shook hands genially with Madame he saw Sophie and Christine in the doorway of the parlour. His spirits took another leap. His inexhaustible emotions were out upon cheerful parade at once.
Her clear eyes met his for an instant as she threw the card on the table before him. "No, dear. For you, that's the Truth." He took it up and looked at it stupidly.
