A few days did decide the point, for I received an answer from Madame Paon, in which she said: "My dear Mademoiselle Chatenoeuf, You may imagine my surprise at receiving your letter, and I fear you must prepare yourself for unpleasant intelligence. Madame d'Albret is in Paris, and has never been in the south of France that I have heard. When she first called, I inquired after you.
I return you the cheque for 500 francs I cannot take the money. You are married to Monsieur de G , and I can accept nothing from one who has made you believe that Valerie could be calumnious and ungrateful. Adieu, my dear madame; I shall pray for you, and weep over your misfortunes. "Yours ever gratefully, "Valerie de Chatenoeuf." That there was a mixed feeling in this letter, I confess.
She led him up to my room just at the time that I was raving. He took the candle, and looked at my swelled features, and said, "I should not have recognised the poor girl. Mort de ma vie! but this is infamous, and Monsieur de Chatenoeuf is a contemptible coward. I will see him to-morrow morning." The colonel and his wife then left the room. By this time I had recovered from my paroxysm.
In it, he stated that at the fencing-school he had made acquaintance with a young officer, a Monsieur Auguste de Chatenoeuf, that he had mentioned to him that he knew a lady of his name in England; that the officer had asked him what the age of the lady might be, and he had replied.
"Thank you, my man," replied the Count; "give my compliments to your master, and I am much obliged for his interest. I shall do myself the honour of waiting on the Colonel to-morrow. Be so good as to tell him so." "I will, sir," said the man; and rode away without another word. "You see, Monsieur de Chatenoeuf, you must not dream of noticing the fellow as a gentleman," said the Count.
I was still with my handkerchief to my eyes when Lady M came into the room. "Crying, Miss Chatenoeuf," said her ladyship, "it is at the departure of a very dear friend." There was a sort of sneer on her face as she said this; and I replied "Yes, my lady, it is for the departure of a dear friend, for Lady R is dead."
"The hero is before you, Mr Selwyn. Allow me to introduce you to Mr Lionel Dempster, the nephew of Lady R " Mr Selwyn bowed to Lionel, and congratulated him upon his accession to the property. Lionel returned the salute, and then said, "Mademoiselle de Chatenoeuf I am convinced that in this case Mr Selwyn must have been made a party to all that has occurred.
While I was at breakfast a letter was brought by the post. It had been directed to Madame Bathurst, and was redirected to Lady R 's address. It was from Madame Paon, and as follows: "My dear Mademoiselle de Chatenoeuf, "As I take it for granted that you do not see the French papers, I write to tell you that your predictions relative to Monsieur G , have all proved correct.
Lady M was delighted at such success. "Is it not strange, my dear Mademoiselle de Chatenoeuf, that I have been fagging two seasons, night and day, to get husbands for those girls, and now alone here, in solitude and retirement almost, they have both obtained excellent establishments.
I pointed it out, and with a few pins made the dress sit well. "Why this is a new talent, my dear Mademoiselle de Chatenoeuf, one that I had no idea that you possessed; although I admit that no one dresses more elegantly than you do," said Lady M . "How much I am obliged to you for taking so much trouble."
