Vinet ended by making Bathilde a small edition of Catherine de Medicis. He left his wife at home, rejoiced to be alone with her two children, while he went every night to the Rogrons' with Madame and Mademoiselle de Chargeboeuf. He arrived there in all the glory of better circumstances.
So, during their walk, he told Rogron he had been joking the other day; that he had no real intention of aspiring to Bathilde; that he was not rich enough to marry a woman without fortune; and then he confided to him his real wishes, declaring that he had long chosen Sylvie for her good qualities, in short, he aspired to the honor of being Rogron's brother-in-law.
"You with the regent! and what about?" "I was a prisoner." "A prisoner you!" "A State prisoner." "And why were you a prisoner?" "Because I have saved France." "Oh, father! are you mad?" cried Bathilde, terrified. "No, but there has been enough to make me so if I had not had a pretty strong head." "Oh, explain, for God's sake!" "Fancy that there was a conspiracy against the regent."
Bathilde was tall and slender, Buvat short and fat; Bathilde had brilliant black eyes, Buvat's were blue and expressionless; Bathilde's face was white and smooth, Buvat's face was bright red. In fact, Bathilde's whole person breathed elegance and distinction, while poor Buvat was the type of vulgar good-nature.

"I feared it," said Bathilde, sinking down in the bed; "in the Bastille! oh, mon Dieu! mon Dieu!" "Oh, now you are crying, Mademoiselle Bathilde." "And I am here in this bed, chained, dying!" cried Bathilde. "Oh, do not cry like that, mademoiselle; it is your poor Boniface who begs you."
Mirza was something to the young girl; she was her dearly loved greyhound, so caressed and kissed by her who laid his head on her knees during the day, and slept on the foot of her bed during the night. The chevalier set Mirza to eat sugar, and sat down; and letting his heart speak, and his pen flow, wrote the following letter: "DEAREST BATHILDE You believe me very guilty, do you not?
You do not know what I have said I said that you lived with an old man; but I did not believe it, Mademoiselle Bathilde, on my honor I did not it was anger, it was rage. Mademoiselle Bathilde, call me beggar, rascal; it will give me less pain than to hear you term me your friend."
However, things did not pass exactly as he had arranged them. Bathilde soon saw the mediocrity of her rivals, so that when they spoke of drawing, and called on her to admire some heads by these young ladies, she pretended to have nothing in the house that she could show, while Buvat knew that there were in her portfolio two heads, one of the infant Jesus, and one of St.
