In Armelline's gentleness I saw the goodness of her heart, and I was angry with myself for my absurd jealousy of a man who was much more calculated to please a young girl than I. Armelline drank champagne, and stole occasional glances in my direction as if to entreat me to join them in their mirth.
"She does not weep, but she looks sad, and says over and over again that it is not her fault if you do not come, thereby hinting that it is Armelline's fault. Come tomorrow to oblige me. They are dying to see the opera at the Aliberti, and the comic opera at the Capronica." "Very good, then I will breakfast with them to-morrow morning, and to-morrow evening they shall see the opera."
They only answered that girls were not allowed to take such a liberty, as they wore petticoats on purpose to conceal their legs. The manner in which Emilie spoke, always with Armelline's approbation, convinced me that their modesty was genuine. I penetrated her idea; she thought that in acceding to my request she would be lowering herself in my eyes, and that I should despise her ever after.
Emilie spoke of her marriage, and without saying anything about my projected visit to Civita Vecchia I promised that her future husband should have his plenary dispensation before very long. While I spoke I kissed Armelline's fair hands, and she looked at me as if thankful for the return of my affection. The oysters and champagne had their natural effect, and we had a delightful supper.
