At this Mere-Grand raised her eyes from the shirt she was mending, and remarked: "Oh! it's natural enough, my dear. It is your heart rising to your cheeks in order that we may see it." The /dejeuner/ hour was now at hand; and they decided to lay the table in the work-shop, as was occasionally done when they had a guest. The simple, cordial meal proved very enjoyable in the bright sunlight.
"My garden," said the priest, speaking affectionately, as of a loved child. "I think, Principino, you would like your déjeuner in the grape arbour. It is only a little arbour, and the garden is small. But wait, you will see it has a charm that many grander gardens lack."
That much distraction, at least, he would allow himself. It was now eleven o'clock. He would wait until déjeuner was over, and then he would go out somewhere anywhere so long as there were moving crowds of people to furnish some chance of his meeting her again.

May I assure you, with all delicacy, that you will not meet here anyone whose presence could cause you the slightest embarrassment? "Pray excuse this hasty note. Figgis will wait for your answer if you are in. "Yours very sincerely,
"Monsieur le Prefet will be back from dejeuner in a few minutes," said the man, softly closing the door. The Senator looked round him with a feeling of keen interest and curiosity.
