Then he goes to Gracieuse, to ask her with a brusque anxiety: "To-night, at eight o'clock, say if you will be on the square to dance with me?" For some time, every Sunday had brought to him the same fear of being deprived of dancing with her in the evening. In the week he hardly ever saw her.
"I'm surprised at that." "Why so? I have never seen you." "You have taken my portrait!" "Really!" I was watching Lampron, who was plainly angered at this brusque introduction.
"But, after all, you can't marry us both," said the marquis, replying to Laurence; "and the time has come," he continued, in the brusque tone of a man who is struck to the heart, "to make your decision." He urged his horse in advance so that the d'Hauteserres might not overhear them. His brother's horse and Laurence's followed him.

"I thank you for the fruit and flowers. I asked the nurse to thank you for me when I received them. I have met with so many kindnesses since I since I was hurt." Katherine referred to the injury she had received through Leslie's recklessness with some hesitancy. "You understand, don't you, that I wasn't really to blame for your accident?"
