Pierrette wore a stuff gown with a chemisette, Bathilde made the velvet of hers undulate. Bathilde had the finest shoulders in the department, and the arm of a queen; Pierrette's shoulder-blades were skin and bone. Pierrette was Cinderella, Bathilde was the fairy. Bathilde was about to marry, Pierrette was to die a maid. Bathilde was adored, Pierrette was loved by none.
"My orders were to take you to the Bois de Vincennes, between the Chateau and Nogent-sur-Marne, and here we are." "And where is the escort?" asked D'Harmental. "Oh, the escort left us at the barrier!" "Oh, mon Dieu!" cried D'Harmental, while Bathilde panting with hope joined her hands in silence, "is it possible?"
In going to make his declaration to the commissary of the quarter and his arrangements for the funeral, Buvat had not forgotten to look for a woman who could take care of little Bathilde, an office which he could not undertake himself; firstly, because he was entirely ignorant of its duties; and, secondly, because it would be impossible to leave the child alone during the six hours he spent daily at the office.

All these things would have appeared insignificant at any other time, but, after the nocturnal betrothal we have described, they took a new and grave importance.

But it does not interest you, chevalier; let us talk of something else." "Yes, yes, abbe; you are strangely mistaken I am deeply interested." "Well, my dear pupil, since you are so curious, this is the whole affair.
She opened a little cupboard in the prie-Dieu, took out a black pocket-book, opened it, and drew out a letter. "You are right, you are right, my child, I had forgotten that letter." "I remembered it," answered Bathilde, kissing the letter, and placing it next her heart, "for it was the sole inheritance my mother left me." At that moment they heard the noise of a coach at the door.
According to the way the wind blows, it may disappear as a vapor or increase into a storm. The hand which holds and guides mine may lead me to the highest favor or to the most complete disgrace.

I should not be far off. Open the window, clap your hands, and I should come." Valef and Brigaud went away together, and D'Harmental went back to Bathilde, whom he found very uneasy. It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and Buvat had not returned it was the first time such a thing had ever happened.
