Shutting their eyes and ears to the outer world they fancy that the sun, moon and stars shine for them, alone; that nature's smiles are specially prepared for them; that the birds carol bridal chansonettes only for their benefit; and that the whole world is contained in the small area which immediately surrounds them. Mr. and Mrs. Wilkie had a long, pleasant honeymoon.
"That is it, that is it!" said the baron, defending his position, "a little beast in the guise of an angel the singing of chansonettes with such a devil in the body and at the same time a complexion, a look, a smile, which scatters a kind of mystic, lily perfume.

Ladies carried their favourite's ballades in their girdles.
