Once on her feet, however, she lingered there a moment longer, saying that she also had just seen her sister, Madame Theodore, and little Celine, both of them comfortably clad and looking happy. And with a touch of jealousy she added: "Well, my husband contents himself with slaving away at his office every day.
This matter was settled while the dinner toilet of the lady was in progress; and Céline spared no pains to make her mistress satisfied with herself and all about her. "How long had Mr. Percy been in the little parlor, Céline, before I came down?" questioned the lady. She was still a trifle dissatisfied at having found her lover so cosily tête-á-tête with her fascinating sister-in-law.
Celine turned quite pink, and then made haste to follow him after carefully locking the door of the room like a good little housewife, though, truth to tell, there was nothing worth stealing in the place.
No train shall leave the city on which he would, by any possibility, set out for Bellair accompanied by this sham physician, without the knowledge of our man, or men, of skill. All discoveries made are to be reported, through you, to Mademoiselle Céline Leroque, who will receive said reports in propria persone, at the Bellair post-office.
"What has happened to you is very sad, and we wanted to tell you how much it grieved us. The worry is that when misfortune falls on one, courage isn't enough to set things right.. .. Celine, come and kiss your uncle.... My poor brother, I hope you'll get back the use of your legs as soon as possible." They kissed the paralysed man on the cheeks, and then went off.
Madeline had not confided to Hagar the story of Olive, and the old woman knew no more of Edward Percy than that he was, as she termed it, "a handsome hypocrite." Clarence questioned Hagar closely. Had they made any attempt to find the one who took the papers? "No," Hagar replied; "they had said that Céline Leroque had stolen money and jewels, but they had not said one word about any papers."
"Very well, dearest, go and dress yourself, while Celine finishes dressing me; but don't keep me waiting." "I am ready now, love," you cry out, at the end of ten minutes, as you stand shaved and dressed. But all is changed. A letter has arrived; madame is not well; her dress fits badly; the dressmaker has come; if it is not the dressmaker it is your mother.
When Pierre drew near to little Celine in order to kiss her, Madame Theodore told her to thank Monsieur l'Abbe for so she still respectfully called him for all that he had previously done for her. "It was you who brought us happiness, Monsieur l'Abbe," said she. "And that's a thing one can never forget. I'm always telling Celine to remember you in her prayers."
"I do not agree with you: there are some days when I find reading the papers very pleasant indeed!" my aunt Flora broke in, to show Swann that she had read the note about his Corot in the Figaro. "Yes," aunt Celine went one better. "When they write about things or people in whom we are interested." "I don't deny it," answered Swann in some bewilderment.
Céline declared that she was growing more fevered every moment, and as for her pulse, it was like a trip-hammer. John Arthur had an unutterable fear of illness, and after trying in vain to persuade Cora to see one of the village doctors, whom, he declared, were very good ones, he announced his intention to telegraph to the city for the doctor who had been her adviser in earlier days.
