"I shall bring playthings to the king," said I "big green lizards from the gorse, little gray mullets to swim in glass globes, baby rabbits from the forest of Kerselec " "And I," said Lys, "will bring the first primrose, the first branch of aubepine, the first jonquil, to the king my king." "Our king," said I; and there was peace in Finistere.
He was, as you know the only scion of the old house of Aubepine, his father having been killed in a duel, and his mother dying at his birth. When still a mere boy, they married him to poor little Cecile de Bellaise, younger still, and fresh from her convent, promising, on his vehement entreaty, that so soon as the succession should be secured by the birth of a son, he should join the army.
He owned that she was incredibly improved, and begged my pardon and hers, saying that he was only repeating what Aubepine either believed or pretended to believe her to be. 'If I could only speak with him! I said. 'For my husband's sake I used to have some influence with him. I would give the world to meet him before he sees the intendant and his wife.

By Nathaniel Hawthorne. Boston: published by Wilder & Co., No. 46 Washington Street. 1843. 82mo, paper.
Indeed, we soon learned that there was no one to pursue him. His grandfather had a stroke of apoplexy in his rage on hearing of the arrest, and did not survive it a week, so that he had become Count of Aubepine.
Even some who really love their wives bade them remain at home, and will steal away to see them with a certain shame; and for Aubepine, he is only too proud to resemble the Prince in being married against his will to a little half-deformed child, who is to be avoided. I cried out at this, and demanded whether my little sister-in-law could possibly be thus described.
