How my Suzanne would have loved to hunt in that beautiful park full of deer, hare, and all sorts of feathered game! And yet no one inhabited that beautiful domain. Its lord and mistress, the Count Gaston and Countess Aurélie, my father and mother, resided in Paris, and came to their château only during the hunting season, their sojourn never exceeding six weeks.
The never-fading thought that Jeanne was leaving her in anger, with a face that spoke solely of gloomy hatred, seared her heart like a red-hot iron. She well divined that Mademoiselle Aurelie was there to watch her, and cast about for some opportunity to escape and hasten to the cemetery. "Yes, it's a dreadful loss," began the old maid, comfortably seated in an easy-chair.
When Hengest heard that Aurelie was near, he took his army, and marched against him. When Aurelie was aware that Hengest would come there, he went into a field, well weaponed under shield; he took forth-right ten thousand knights, that were the best born and chosen of his force, and set them in the field, on foot under shield.
"Listen to me, Arthur; give Aurelie three hundred thousand francs for that little house, and I'll promise to find some one to suit you better. I'll talk to you about it later, for there's d'Ajuda making signs that he wants to speak to me." And Maxime left the inconsolable man for the representative of a family in need of consolation.
Arthur and Aurelie parted on this formidable dialogue, he to play cards and dine at the club, she to dress and spend the evening tete-a-tete with Fabien. Monsieur de Rochefide found Maxime at the club, and complained to him like a man who feels that his happiness is being torn from his heart by the roots, every fibre of which clung to it.
Thus, by Maxime's machinations, the fire of discord flamed in the separate households of Monsieur and of Madame de Rochefide. The next day, learning the success of this last scene from La Palferine at the Jockey Club, where the young count was playing whist, Maxime went to the hotel Schontz to ascertain with what success Aurelie was rowing her boat.
"'Madame, I said to my wife, 'my pistols. "'What is the matter? she asked, frightened. "'All is lost. But there is still a chance to preserve my honor. I am going to be killed on the barricades. "'Ah! Casimir, she sobbed, falling into my arms. 'I have misjudged you. Will you forgive me? "'I forgive you, Aurelie, I said with dignified emotion. 'I have not always been right myself.
On two days in the week the sisters became Mesdemoiselles Elisabeth, Henriette, and Aurelie, and conversed in French over their spinning, seams, lace, or embroidery; nor was Aurelia yet emancipated from reciting Racine on alternate days with Milton and Shakespeare.
I let my hand rest lightly on Cecilia's hands; and in the sweetness of the gathering dusk we both dream. Like the scent of flowers, the different natures seem to find a more precise expression as their shapes fade. I explain them to Cecilia, who does not know them. Aurélie and Renée draw my eyes with their laughter; and I begin with them.
The third time he called: "Aurelie!" She jumped up with a start as she realized that that was the name by which they knew her. She hurried over to them. "Are you deaf?" demanded Monsieur Benoist. "No, sir; I was listening to the machinists." "You can leave me now," said M. Vulfran to his manager. When the manager had gone he turned to Perrine, who had remained standing before him.
