"Le Gardeur is no weakling to be led astray," replied she. "He is a strong man, to lead others, not to be led, as I know better than even his sister." Amelie looked up inquiringly, but Angelique did not pursue the thought nor explain the meaning of her words.
The others who followed did not, or pretended not to, notice the two girls. As for the gendarmes, they had seen and heard nothing. As soon as the party stepped into the light, Morgan unfolded the note and read as follows: Do not be anxious, my beloved Charles; I am and ever will be your faithful Amelie, in life or death. I have told all to Lord Tanlay.
"Is that all? and you tried to frighten the slave of the lamp with the weight of your commands. A suite of rooms for my father, and one for good Dame Rochelle! Really, and what do you devote to me, Amelie?" "Oh, all the rest, with its mistress included, for the reason that what is good enough for me is good enough for you, Pierre," said she gaily. "You little economist!
Yesterday Amélie and I took advantage of it to make a pilgrimage across the Marne, to decorate the graves on the battlefield at Chambry. Crowds went out on All Soul's Day, but I never like doing anything, even making a pilgrimage, in a crowd.
"They are all in it; I have them all!" cried Camusot. And Camusot walked up and down the room like Sganarelle on the stage when he is trying to get out of a scrape. "Listen, Amelie," said he, standing in front of his wife. "An incident recurs to my mind, a trifle in itself, but, in my position, of vital importance.
He is the most generous man on earth; he has promised me to break off the marriage and to take the whole responsibility on himself. I love you. Morgan kissed the note and put it in his breast. Then he glanced down the corridor and saw the two Bressan women leaning against the door. Amelie had risked all to see him once more.
"No woman is justified in showing scorn of any man's love, if it be honest and true; but the Chevalier de Pean is false to the heart's core, and his presumption woke such an aversion in my heart, that I fear my eyes showed less than ordinary politeness to his unexpected advances." "You were too gentle, not too harsh, Amelie," replied Heloise, with her arm round her friend.
"Oh, brother, don't go to the Chartreuse!" cried Amelie, eluding the question. "Mother told you to say this to me, didn't she?" "Oh, no, brother! Mother said nothing to me. It is I who guessed that you intended to go." "Well, if I want to go," replied Roland firmly, "you ought to know, Amelie, that I shall go."
Amelie prevailed, after much entreaty, upon Mere Esther, to intercede with the Superior for permission to pass the night with Heloise in the cell that had once been occupied by her pious kinswoman, Mere Madelaine. "It is a great thing to ask," replied Mere Esther as she returned with her desired boon, "and a greater still to be obtained!
I do not ask of you, my Amelie, those selfish, unreasonable things that lovers in danger of death exact from their mistresses; I do not ask you to bind your heart to the dead, your love to a corpse " "Friend," said the young girl, laying her hand on his arm, "take care; you are doubting me."
