To do this she had his full permission, and he undertook to answer to Tussmann on the subject. Albertine, who was not yet taken into her father's confidence as to his projects, had not the remotest notion what Tussmann might have to say to the matter, and did not take the trouble to inquire.
"I don't know why you should pretend to be in a state of mind about a matter which has been understood and arranged for such a long time. My dear old friend Tussmann is your affianced husband, and the wedding will come off in a week or two." "Never!" said Albertine. "Never will I marry him. Good heavens! how could anybody have that old creature; nobody could ever bear him."
"No, dearest Miss Albertine," answered Tussmann; "I shall not go until, in compliance with the sapient advice of Thomasius, I endeavour to " and he made as if he would follow her into the corner. While this was going on, Edmund had been scumbling angrily at the background of his picture. But at this point he could contain himself no longer.
Edmund and Albertine fled apart like lightning he to his easel, she to the chair where she was supposed to be sitting for her portrait. Tussmann, after a short pause, during which he tried to get back his breath, resumed, saying "But, Miss Albertine Bosswinkel, what are you doing? What are you after?

Without wasting a thought on Albertine or the Commissionsrath, Tussmann went and sat down in an armchair in a corner, stuck the book into his pocket, pulled it out again, and it was easy to see, by the delight in his countenance, how completely the Goldsmith's promise had been fulfilled. It was the Baron's turn next.
"As regards Art," Edmund said, "I really can't see why I should not go to Rome and study, though I do stand in this intimate relation with Albertine. You say yourself that I have a certain amount of 'turn' for painting, and some practical skill, already.
I told you so! thar he is, coming this way, too, all by himself, sober, and his face a-shining. Tennessee! Pardner!" And so they met. Here ends No. Three of the western classics, Being Tennessee's Partner by Bret Harte, the introduction by William Dallam Armes. The photogravure frontispiece by Albertine Randall Wheelan.
I can appreciate your large-mindedness, and am as unselfish, and as free with my money, as anybody in the land." Crafty Miss Albertine had, of course, known exactly how Edmund would proceed with her father's commission, and her object was attained.
He had also gathered from Chateaubriand what he remembered; and Thierry, who was blind, caused his book to be read to him twice over. The account of Marat in the 28th volume of Buchez was partly written by Villiaumé, and was approved by Albertine Marat. The great bibliographical curiosity in the literature of the Revolution is Marat's newspaper.
