"You are quite sure that you will not consent to M. Boullé's wishes?" she inquired, as they turned in and out of the winding path. "You shall be left entirely free. You shall not marry at all, if you prefer," he answered solemnly. "Oh, a thousand thanks. And you will convince miladi. I think she wishes M. Boullé all success. I must go make my peace with Wanamee and get some supper."
"Why do people take likes the wrong way? Now if M. Boullé had " "It is said he was wild for love of you," interposed Thérèse. "That made the trouble. Miladi liked him so much. Thérèse, there is some kind of love we must have before you can put yourself in a man's hand, and let him take you to his home, where you must remain while life lasts. A whole long life, think of it!
