The girl seemed about to speak, but De Breulh continued, "It seems, however, that I have in some way displeased you, I do not know how; but, believe me, it will be a source of sorrow to me for the rest of my life." De Breulh's sincerity was so evident, that Mademoiselle de Mussidan was deeply affected. "You have not displeased me in any way," answered she softly, "and are far too good for me.
My brave Sabine would never have submitted unless some coercion had been used that she could not struggle against; she would rather have quitted her father's house for ever." As Andre uttered these words De Breulh's mind was busy with similar reflections, for Modeste had given him some hint of the approaching marriage, and had begged him to be most careful how he communicated the facts to Andre.
"I must get to work again," muttered he, as he left M. de Breulh's hospitable house. "I have already lost too much time. To-morrow, if you look up at the scaffolding of a splendid house in the Champs Elysees, you will see me at work."
"M. de Breulh will help me," cried he; "for though I cannot go to the house, he will have no difficulty in doing so." By good luck, he had M. de Breulh's card in his pocket, and hurried off to his address. M. de Breulh had a fine house in the Avenue de l'Imperatrice, which he had taken more for the commodiousness of the stables than for his own convenience.
Only those who have heard a woman that they are ardently attached to say, "I do not love you," can picture M. de Breulh's frame of mind. Had any one else than Sabine made this communication he would not have withdrawn, but would have contested the prize with his more fortunate rival.
