That night, at the Casino, while dancing a quadrille with Giselle, he could not refrain from saying to her, "Don't you object to Monsieur de Talbrun's dancing so much with Jacqueline?" "Who? I?" she cried, astonished, "I don't see why he should not." And then, with a faint laugh, she added: "Oh, if she would only take him and keep him!" But Madame de Monredon kept a sharp eye upon M. de Talbrun.
They kissed each other with effusion, but M. de Talbrun's leave-taking was icy in the extreme. Jacqueline had made a mortal enemy. The grand outline of the chateau, built of brick and stone with its wings flanked by towers, the green turf of the great park in which it stood, passed from her sight as she drove away, like some vision in a dream.
Monsieur de Talbrun's horses a magnificent pair, harnessed to a new 'caleche' carried off Psyche, as an old gentleman in gold spectacles said near me. He was a pretentious old personage, who made a speech at table, very inappropriate and much applauded. Poor Giselle!
There were a few friends of Monsieur de Talbrun's, however among them, a Monsieur de Cymier, whom possibly you remember having seen last summer at Treport; he led the cotillon divinely. The bride and bridegroom drove away during the evening, as they do in England, to their own house, which is not far off.

She was a genuine Frenchwoman of the old type; there are not many such left now. Ah!" continued Madame d'Argy, without any apparent connection with her subject, "Monsieur de Talbrun's mother, if he had one, would be truly happy to see him married to Giselle!"

Just think even of saying thou to him!" "But married people don't say thou to each other nowadays," said Jacqueline, "it is considered vulgar." "But I shall have to call him by his Christian name!" "What is Monsieur de Talbrun's Christian name?" "Oscar." "Humph!
