He relieved me of such dreadful anxiety the other night." "Is Henri not at home?" broke in Monsieur Letellier. "No, he will be away some time yet," was Juliette's reply. "But you're not going away; you'll dine with us," she continued, addressing Mademoiselle Aurelie, who had risen as if to leave with Madame Grandjean.
Aurelie has just turned Arthur out of doors, and now it is our business to get him a home. He must give Madame du Ronceret three hundred thousand francs and take back his wife; you and I must prove to him that Beatrix is superior to Aurelie." "We have ten days before us to do it in," said Charles-Edouard, "and in all conscience that's not too much." "What will you do when the shell bursts?"
The king was in York, good it seemed to him; he took his messengers, and sent over all his land, and ordered his bishops, his book-learned men, earls and thanes, to come towards him, to Aurelie the king, to a great husting. It soon came to pass, that they came together. The king greeted his folk with his fair words, he welcomed earls, he welcomed barons, and the bishops, and the book-learned men.
Mademoiselle Aurelie, who had not stirred from her seat beside the fire, rose to exchange greetings with Monsieur Letellier. He owned an extensive silk warehouse on the Boulevard des Capucines. Since his wife's death he had been taking his younger daughter about everywhere, in search of a rich husband for her. "Were you at the Vaudeville last night?" asked Pauline.
And thus Tremoriun, God's servant, spake there with the king, of a good thing: "Listen now to me, Aurelie, what I will make known to thee, and I will say to thee the best of all counsel, if thou wilt it approve, eft it will like to thee.
And, they all did so, as Octa them advised; put off their clothes the careful knights, and proceeded out of the burgh, miserable thanes, twain and twain, twenty hundred! Aurelie beheld this, noblest of kings, strange it seemed to him of the naked knights. Together came the host that lay over the land; they saw Octa naked come, that was Hengest's son.
Thereupon he advanced towards the group of ladies, with a courteous greeting. Mademoiselle Aurelie, who was amongst them, engaged his attention for the moment to point out to him a nephew whom she had brought with her. He was all complaisance. Helene, without speaking, gave him her hand, encased in its black glove, but he dared not clasp it with marked force.
In any case, you mustn't look like a fool; come and sup to-night with Antonia." "No, I love Aurelie too well; I won't give her any reason to complain of me." "Ah! my dear fellow, what a future you are preparing for yourself!" cried Maxime. "It is eleven o'clock; she must have returned from the Ambigu," said Rochefide, leaving the club.
"Let me tell you when is the time to be generous," said Maxime. "Arthur," said Aurelie, "Maxime is right. Don't you see, old fellow, that generous actions are like Couture's investments? you should make them in the nick of time."
The next day when Arthur awoke he found Madame Schontz as frigid as that class of woman knows how to make herself. "What happened last night?" he said, as he breakfasted, looking at Aurelie. "What often happens in Paris," she replied, "one goes to bed in damp weather and the next morning the pavements are dry and frozen so hard that they are dusty. Do you want a brush?"
