I kissed Marcoline affectionately, so that she should not notice my ill humour, and asked how she and the countess spent the night. "Capitally," said she. "The countess is charming, and we amused ourselves all night with the tricks of two amorous women." "Is she pretty or old?" "She is only thirty-three, and, I assure you, she is as pretty as my friend Mdlle. Crosin.
Crosin, how I had been able to be of service to her, and finally, how she had had the good luck to meet a wealthy and distinguished person, who would come to Marseilles to ask her hand in a fortnight, I concluded by saying that I should have the happiness of restoring to her hands the dear girl whose preserver I had been. "Where is she?" cried Madame Audibert. "In my carriage.
This thought made me feel a peaceful calm which I could only enjoy in silence. Mdlle. Crosin returned to Marseilles with her father, her mother, and her future husband, whom the father wished to take up his abode with them. I went back with Madame Audibert, who made me promise to bring the delightful Marcoline to sup with her.

"That's it, that's it, Injin," interrupted Jacques, energetically; "your wits are always jumpin'. By crosin' over to Duck River, we can start at a point five or six miles above the lower fall, an' as it's thereabouts he must cross, we'll be time enough to catch him. If he tries the lake, the other party'll fix him there; and he'll be soon poked up if he tries to hide in the bush."
Not that that would matter, for all your nieces are discreet young persons. What is her name?" "Crosin." "I don't know it." "I daresay you don't. She is the daughter of a cousin of mine who lived at Marseilles." "Tell that to someone else; but, after all, what does it matter? You choose well, amuse yourself, and make them happy. It may be wisdom after all, and at any rate I congratulate you.
On his departure I told him I hoped he would come and see us again, and when we were alone I congratulated Marcoline on her conquest, and shewed her that she might succeed almost as well as Mdlle. Crosin. But instead of being grateful she was furiously, angry. "If you want to get rid of me," said she, "send me back to Venice, but don't talk to me about marrying." "Calm yourself, my angel!
I then thanked the count, who said once more that he should never cease to be grateful to me, and thus I left Milan on the 20th of March, 1763. I never re-visited that splendid capital. The young lady, whom out of respect for her and her family I called Crosin, was charming. There was an air of nobility and high-bred reserve about her which bore witness to her excellent upbringing.
