But she stopped, and waited for her brother to speak, as she saw that he had more to say. "You remember the big, tall Ranger, whose name was Fritz?" he said eagerly. "Yes, I remember him well." "He is here in Quebec in this house at this very minute! He and I have travelled from Montreal with my uncle." Corinne's eyes were bright with eager interest. Ah, Colin! is that truly so?
The bright-faced girl, with her French name and English sympathies, was feted and welcomed everywhere. Brigadier Townshend gave a dinner to some of the residents, and the Abbe and Madame Drucour, with their nephew and niece, were invited. Corinne's health was proposed and drunk amid acclamation, greatly to her own astonishment; and wherever she went she met with nothing but kindness and respect.
Notwithstanding our great sympathy with Corinne's parents, Euphemia and myself could not help becoming somewhat resigned to the affliction which had befallen them, and we found ourselves obliged to enjoy the trip very much. Euphemia became greatly excited and exhilarated as we entered Paris. For weeks I knew she had been pining for this city.
No, thought Davies; it was too near Germany, and there was a tidal cut through from Buse Tief. Better to dodge in behind Rottum Island. So on we pressed, past Memmert, over the Juister Reef and the Corinne's buried millions, across the two broad and yeasty mouths of the Ems, till Rottum, a wee lonesome wafer of an islet, the first of the Dutch archipelago, was close on the weather-bow.
They were then joined by Corinne's friends; but this eight days' absence so oppressed his heart that he did not utter a word during the whole evening. Oswald visited Corinne at an early hour, uneasy at what she had said to him.
"Since you desire it, I will ask Corinne's permission to introduce you," replied Oswald. "Do so, I beseech you," said Mr Edgermond; "and contrive to let me see her some day when she improvises, or dances and sings to the company." "Corinne does not thus display her talents to strangers," said Nelville; "she is your equal and mine in every respect."
In short, he thought he perceived something like levity in the manner in which she had expressed herself, and he was hurt at it. He placed himself, without saying a word, in Corinne's carriage; who, guessing his thoughts, said to him, "I do not believe that the heart of man is so formed that he must always feel either no love at all or the most invincible passion.
They were not Jack's his, he knew, would never succeed. And they were not exactly Corinne's she was too particular. The fence was evidently the best place for him. "Would be rather a bore, wouldn't it?" he replied evasively, with a laugh. "Lives up under the roof, I guess, wears a dyed wig, got Cousin Mary Ann's daguerreotype on the mantle, and tells you how Uncle Ephraim "
At these words "Pardon me! Pardon me for loving; pardon me for having let you know it!" There was in Corinne's look, so tender a prayer and so much respect for her lover, so much exultation in her choice, when she said, "Noble Romeo! Fair Montague!" that Oswald felt as proud as he was happy.
Garry winked sententiously, and remarked in reply that he might be making the distinguished money-bags an allowance himself one of these fine days, and he could if some of the things he was counting on came out top side up, but Corinne's opinions did not change either toward Jack or her stepfather.
