Renee did not comprehend the sailor-sarcasm of the remark; but she also commented on the statuesque appearance of Count Henri: 'Is the pose for photography or for sculpture? Neither of them showed a sign of surprise or of impatience. M. d'Henriel could not maintain the attitude.
His madness, miraculous penetration, and the super-masculine charity in him, unknown to the world of young men in their treatment of women, excited, awed, and melted her. He had seen the whole truth of her relations with M. d'Henriel! the wickedness of them in one light, the innocence in another; and without prompting a confession he forgave her. Could she believe it?
Beauchamp was conscious of some bitter taste; unaware of what it was, though it led him to say, undesigningly: 'How very handsome that M. d'Henriel is! if I have his name correctly. Renee answered: 'He has the misfortune to be considered the handsomest young man in France. 'He has an Italian look. 'His mother was Provencale.

Renee pronounced his name: 'M. le Comte Henri d'Henriel. He bowed to Beauchamp with an extreme sweep of the hat. 'Last night, M. Beauchamp, we put up vows for you to the Marine God, beseeching an exemption from that horrible mal de mer. Thanks to the storm, I suppose, I have won. I must maintain, madame, that I won. 'You wear your trophy, said Renee, and her horse reared and darted ahead.
Beauchamp and he walked like loving comrades at school, questioning, answering, chattering, laughing, a beautiful sight to Renee, and she looked at Agrnes d'Auffray to ask her whether 'this Englishman' was not one of them in his frankness and freshness. Roland stopped to turn to Renee. 'I met d'Henriel on my ride here, he said with a sharp inquisitive expression of eye that passed immediately.
She writes as if she were telegraphing. 'Perfectly true of her! For that matter, I saw the letter. Your looks betray a very natural jealousy; but seeing it or not it would have been the same: she and I have no secrets. She was, I may tell you, strictly unable to write more words in the letter. Which brings me to inquire what impression M. d'Henriel made on you yesterday evening.
'Oh! cried Renee, 'do not say it, if ever you should imagine it. Bid Roland speak of him. He is changed, oppressed: I did him a terrible wrong .... She checked herself. 'But the chief thing to do is to keep M. d'Henriel away from him. I suspect M. d'Orbec of a design to make them clash: and you, my dear, will explain why, to flatter me.
Both M. Livret and M. d'Orbec had forgotten that when Count Henri d'Henriel was received at Tourdestelle, the arrival of the Englishman was pleasantly anticipated by them as an eclipse of the handsome boy; but a foreign interloper is quickly dispossessed of all means of pleasing save that one of taking his departure; and they now talked of Count Henri's disgrace and banishment in a very warm spirit of sympathy, not at all seeing why it should be made to depend upon the movements of this M. Beauchamp, as it appeared to be.
'Oh! cried Renee, 'do not say it, if ever you should imagine it. Bid Roland speak of him. He is changed, oppressed: I did him a terrible wrong . . . . She checked herself.
