It was at this moment that poor Bathilde who was far from suspecting what was passing in her neighbor's room had seen her guardian, and had rushed to meet him on the stairs, where Buvat and she had met at the third flight. "Oh, my dear, dear father," cried Bathilde, remounting the staircase in Buvat's arms, and stopping to embrace him at every step, "where have you been? What has happened?
She, therefore, charged Nanette to search among the neighbors for some difficult, and, consequently, well-paid needlework, which she could do in Buvat's absence. Nanette easily found what she sought. It was the time for laces. The great ladies paid fifty louis a yard for guipure, and then ran carelessly through the woods with these transparent dresses.
This was not Bathilde's opinion; but she changed the conversation, saying that dinner was ready an announcement which generally gave a new course to Buvat's ideas. Buvat gave back the drawings to Bathilde without further observation, and entered the little sitting-room, singing the inevitable, "Then let me go," etc.
