I was mad when I said what I did yesterday. You are too noble and too generous not to listen to me when I tell you that the moment of infatuation is over, and that all my reason has returned to me, and my openness will convince you of the truth of what I say George de Croisenois, I love you." The young man uttered an exclamation of delight upon hearing this news.
"Great heavens!" cried she, "what do you think that M. de Croisenois will do with this receipt?" "He will do nothing," answered M. de Breulh, "if you do everything to advance his suit; but pause for an instant, and he will show the hand of steel which has up to now been covered by the velvet glove." "I am not alarmed at a new slander?" returned the Viscountess. "And why not?" answered De Breulh.
"I am commissioned to inform you, madame, that every delay necessary for altering any arrangements that may exist will be accorded you; but, remember, if your daughter marries any one else than Henry de Croisenois, the letters will be at once placed in your husband's hands." As he spoke the doctor watched her narrowly.
Faultlessly gloved, his glass firmly fixed in his eye, and a light walking cane in his hand, and with that air of half-veiled insolence that is sometimes affected by certain persons who wish the world to believe that they are of great importance, the Marquis de Croisenois entered the room.
"Have they forgotten us?" thought she. Alas! no; they were people who never forgot. The Champdoce affair had been satisfactorily arranged, and every precaution had been taken to prevent the detection of Paul as an impostor, and engaged as he had been, Mascarin had no time to turn his attention to the marriage of Sabine and De Croisenois.
She felt herself alone and solitary, and, in this frame of mind, how was it possible for her not to let her thoughts wander once again to George de Croisenois. Had her father been willing, she might have been his wife now, and have been wandering hand in hand in some sequestered spot beneath the clear blue sky of Italy. He had loved her, while Norbert .
Marie's affection for George de Croisenois was much deeper than she had told her father, much deeper even than she had dared to confess to herself, and she resented this disposal of her with more obstinacy than any one knowing her gentle nature would have supposed her capable of; but M. de Puymandour was not the man to give up for an instant the object which he had sworn to attain.
"I am, and I have spent an enormous sum with him." "But Van Klopen is nasty sometimes; did he not sue Mademoiselle de Riversac?" asked De Breulh. "But he did not, I expect, force his way into her drawing-room and behave outrageously before a perfect stranger. Do you know M. de Croisenois?" returned Andre.
"But really I do not see anything about me that would induce people to invest," remarked De Croisenois. "You are too modest; you have your name and rank, which, however we may look upon them, have a great effect upon the general public. There are many Companies who pay directors of rank and credible connection very largely.
"Is that all?" asked she. Dr. Hortebise paused a few moments before he replied, and then answered slowly, "A man came to me yesterday, and asserts that you can tell me what has become of George de Croisenois."
