"Oh! madame!" said Phellion, bowing with an air of respectful dissent. "But," continued the lady, "the explanation of my proceeding is very simple. I have studied Celeste, and in that dear and artless child I find a moral weight and value which would make me grieve to see her sacrificed." "You are right, madame," said Madame Phellion. "Celeste is, indeed, an angel of sweetness."
The swain that artless sings on yonder rock, His nibbling sheep and lengthening shadow spies; Pleased with the cool, the calm, refreshful hour, And the hoarse hummings of unnumber'd flies. But these pretty stanzas are interrupted by the mention of Phoebus, the Dryads, old Sylvan, and Pan.
At any moment, indeed, she might turn up; but the days passed the hypocritic days and she did not turn up. Marietta, the kind soul, noticing his despondency, sought in divers artless ways to cheer him. One evening she burst into his sitting-room with the effect of a small explosion, excitement in every line of her brown old face and wiry little figure. "The fireflies!

Unspoiled by the forms, unvitiated by the sophistries of a world with which she had never mixed, her intelligent innocence made the most artless avowals to my enraptured ear, avowals that the more profligate minded woman of society would have blushed to whisper even to herself. And for these I loved her to my own undoing.
