Over and over again she dwelt upon that deathbed scene, upon that poor mother's piteous longing for her child, and Lovedy listened and wept as if her heart would break. At last this tale, so sad, so bitter for the woman who was now a mother herself, came to an end, and then Lovedy, wiping her eyes, spoke: "Cecile, I must tell you a little about myself.
The home they chose was in Leipzig, where Fanny Hensel visited them, and found Cécile possessed not only of "the beautiful eyes" Felix had raved over so much, "but possessed also of a wonderfully soothing temperament, that calmed her husband's whims and promised to cure him of his irritability."
"She's a lovely woman," pronounced Maurice. "I'm quite sure she has got a night's lodging. I'll run and ask her." "No, no, she might not like it," whispered the more timid Cecile. But just then Toby, who had been standing very quiet and motionless behind Maurice, perceived a late, late autumn fly, sailing lazily by, within reach of his nose.
"Sir George Covert is a good fellow," remarked Ruyven, with a patronizing nod at Dorothy; "but I always said he was too old for you. You should see how gray are his temples when he wears no powder." "He has fine eyes," murmured Cecile. "He's too old; he's forty," repeated Ruyven. "His legs are shapely," added Cecile, sentimentally. Dorothy gave a despairing upward glance at me.
Curved surfaces, as Cavaillé-Coll, who was an expert in this matter, once told me, distort sound as curved mirrors distort images. Halls used for music should, therefore, have only straight lines. The St. Cécile hall was sufficiently large to allow a complete orchestra and chorus to be placed properly and heard as well.
Consequently the refusal of the Beauvisage parents to entertain the proposals of the sub-prefect had tightened the bonds of friendship between the two families. "There's an impatient man!" said Ernestine to Cecile, indicating Simon Giguet. "He wants to come and talk with us; but every one who comes in feels bound to congratulate him.
I want to read Goethe in the original," she added; "I have been learning German for two years." "Then the grammar must be very difficult to learn, for scarcely ten pages have been cut " Brunner remarked with much candor. Cecile, abashed, turned away to hide her blushes.
Aside from what we each gained individually from the Professor's criticism and correction, it was interesting to hear the others who played before one's turn came, because one could get all kinds of hints from what Professor Auer told them. I know I always enjoyed listening to Poliakin, a very talented violinist, and Cécile Hansen, who attended the classes at the same time I did.
I nevertheless turned my attention to Louise Buguet's costume and worked at it with two of the lay sisters, Sister St. Cecile and Sister St. Jeanne, who had charge of the linen room. At the rehearsals not a word could be extorted from the Angel Raphael. She stood there stupefied on the little platform, tears dimming her beautiful eyes.
We shall be obliged to dine rather late to-night, because the Chamber is sitting, and people cannot get away before six." Brunner looked significantly at Pons, and Pons rubbed his hands as if to say, "Our friends, you see! My friends!" Mme. de Marville, as a clever tactician, had something very particular to say to her cousin, that Cecile and her Werther might be left together for a moment.
