Madame Faragon, not understanding this general sarcasm against her sex, continued the expression of her opinion about the coming marriage. 'I don't suppose anybody will think of blaming Marie Bromar for accepting the match when it was proposed to her. Of course, she would do as she was bidden, and could hardly be expected to say that the man was above her.
'O, yes, said Marie, 'if you please. It was, as she knew, only reasonable now that they should be together. Then he let her go, and she walked off to her room. 'I suppose it had better be so, Marie Bromar had said to her lover, when in set form he made his proposition. She had thought very much about it, and had come exactly to that state of mind. She did suppose that it had better be so.
No one knows better than I do how bad I have been. 'Your most humble servant, 'With the greatest respect, 'MARIE BROMAR. The letter had taken her long to write, and it took her uncle long to read, before he came to the end of it. He did not get through a line without sundry interruptions, which all arose from his determination to contradict at once every assertion which she made.
She hardly said a word; indeed what word she did say was heard by no one; but she crossed her hands on her breast, and the gravest smile came over her face, and she turned her eyes down to the ground, and if any one ever begged pardon without a word spoken, Marie Bromar then asked Adrian Urmand to pardon her the evil she had wrought upon him. 'O, yes; of course, he said. 'It's all right.
But George Voss, sitting there on his bedside, thought that he could go through it all, if only he could induce Marie Bromar to bear the brunt of the world's displeasure with him. As he got into bed he determined that he would begin upon the matter to his father during the morning's walk. His father would be full of wrath; but the wrath would have to be endured sooner or later.
On the present occasion George seated himself next to the lad, and they were soon discussing all the news from Granpere. 'And how is Marie Bromar? George asked at last. 'You have heard about her, of course, said Edmond Greisse. 'Heard what? 'She is going to be married. 'Minnie Bromar to be married? And to whom?
'He hasn't written, has he, to say that he is off his bargain? Poor Madame Faragon was almost pathetic in her anxiety to learn what had really occurred at the Lion d'Or. 'Certainly not. He has not written at all. 'Then what is it, George? 'I suppose it is this, that Marie Bromar cares nothing for him. 'But so rich as he is! And they say, too, such a good-looking young man.
George did return to Colmar that evening, being in all matters of business a man accurate and resolute; but he did not go till he had been thoroughly scolded for his misconduct by Marie Bromar. 'It was your fault, said Marie. 'Your fault from beginning to end. 'It shall be if you say so, answered George; 'but I can't say that I see it.
So Marie Bromar, then just fifteen years of age, was brought over from Epinal to Granpere, and the house certainly was not felt to be too small because she was there. Marie soon learned the ways and wishes of her burly, soft-hearted uncle; would fill his pipe for him, and hand him his soup, and bring his slippers, and put her soft arm round his neck, and became a favourite.
'As I am here, I might as well do a stroke of work, he said, striving to be jocose. 'Do, said Michel; 'and in the mean time I will see Marie Bromar. Whenever Michel Voss was heard to call his niece Marie Bromar, using the two names, it was understood, by all who heard him about the hotel, that he was not in a good humour.
