As Madame Audibert did not take me aside I stifled my curiosity and went with Marcoline to the theatre, without knowing what had passed. On the way Marcoline sang the praises of Madame Audibert, but did not say a word of the proposal she must have made to her.
Crosin, how I had been able to be of service to her, and finally, how she had had the good luck to meet a wealthy and distinguished person, who would come to Marseilles to ask her hand in a fortnight, I concluded by saying that I should have the happiness of restoring to her hands the dear girl whose preserver I had been. "Where is she?" cried Madame Audibert. "In my carriage.
As soon as I came in she told me joyously that my niece's father had just received a letter from the father of the Genoese, asking the hand of his daughter for his only son, who had been introduced to her by the Chevalier de Seingalt, her uncle, at the Paretti's. "The worthy man thinks himself under great obligations to you," said Madame Audibert.

"The worthy man thinks himself under great obligations to you," said Madame Audibert.
When we had got home Marcoline thanked me for not doing so, adding that she had been afraid I would. "What you said last night is a sufficient guide for me for the future." In the morning Madame Audibert called on behalf of the wine merchant to ask us to sup with him.
The plentiful rather than choice repast, the numerous and noisy company, the empty compliments, the silly conversation, the roars of laughter at very poor jokes all this would have driven me to despair if it had not been for Madame Audibert, whom I did not leave for a moment.
He was delighted to find himself so near the goal of his desires, and his ecstacy received a new momentum when he saw how cordially Madame Audibert received him. We all got into my carriage and drove to the father's who gave him an excellent reception, and then presented him to his wife, who was already friendly disposed towards him.
Rosalie was right, but as the lady was not my real niece there were some difficulties in the way. I welcomed the young man and told him that I would first take him to Madame Audibert, and that we could then go together to his father-in-law in prospective. The young Genoese had gone to the "Treize Cantons," where he thought I was staying.
I turned towards the fair Venetian, and guessing my thoughts she hastened to reply that she would be happy to go anywhere in company with Madame Audibert. That lady came for us in the evening, and took us to the young man's house, where we found a magnificent supper, but no other guests awaiting us. The house was luxuriously furnished, it only lacked a mistress.
Measures and doctrines had now been pushed so far that a numerous and influential body of liberals called a halt, the prelude of a union with the government forces. Luckily for Paine, his French admirers stepped in at this critical moment to save him. Mons. Audibert, a municipal officer from Calais, came to announce to him that he was elected to the National Convention for that department.
