"I have been indorsing your advice," said Newman, bending over her and laughing, "I suppose I must swallow that!" Lord Deepmere wiped his forehead and departed, and Madame de Bellegarde took Newman's arm. "Yes, it's a very pleasant, sociable entertainment," the latter declared, as they proceeded on their circuit. "Every one seems to know every one and to be glad to see every one.
They are not nice things to say to a girl like you especially about Deepmere, if you didn't know it. But when they happen you've got to look at them, haven't you? That's the way I look at it. 'It's not true it's not true it's not true, Laura Wing repeated, in the same way, slowly shaking her head.
The next ten days were the happiest that Newman had ever known. He saw Madame de Cintre every day, and never saw either old Madame de Bellegarde or the elder of his prospective brothers-in-law. Madame de Cintre at last seemed to think it becoming to apologize for their never being present. "They are much taken up," she said, "with doing the honors of Paris to Lord Deepmere."
"Well, you can't help my being her cousin," said Lord Deepmere to Newman, with candid hilarity. "Oh, no, I can't help that," said Newman, laughing back; "neither can she!" "And you can't help my dancing with her," said Lord Deepmere, with sturdy simplicity. "I could prevent that only by dancing with her myself," said Newman. "But unfortunately I don't know how to dance."
They put it on the Pope because Bellegarde was once in the Zouaves. But it was about HER morals SHE was the Pope!" Lord Deepmere pursued, directing an eye illumined by this pleasantry toward Mademoiselle Nioche, who was bending gracefully over her lap-dog, apparently absorbed in conversation with it.
Lord Deepmere came up, looking very red in the face, and laughing. "Lord Deepmere can't decide which he prefers, my sister-in-law or me," said Madame de Bellegarde. "He likes Claire because she is his cousin, and me because I am not. But he has no right to make love to Claire, whereas I am perfectly disponible.
"It is almost a pity not to tell Mr. Newman," she said softly, but in a tone that Newman could hear. "Tell him if you like!" the gentleman answered, in the voice of Lord Deepmere. "Oh, tell me by all means!" said Newman advancing. Lord Deepmere, he observed, was very red in the face, and he had twisted his gloves into a tight cord as if he had been squeezing them dry.
"Your conscience seems to me to be rather mixed!" exclaimed Newman, passionately. "It has been in great trouble, but now it is very clear," said Madame de Cintre. "I don't give you up for any worldly advantage or for any worldly happiness." "Oh, you don't give me up for Lord Deepmere, I know," said Newman. "I won't pretend, even to provoke you, that I think that.
"It is very extraordinary," said this noble laggard, "but this is the first time that I have ever been in Paris for more than three or four weeks." "And how long have you been here now?" asked Madame de Cintre. "Oh, for the last two months," said Lord Deepmere.
She answered nothing for an instant, and then, as he remained silent, she said with a smile, "It would be polite for Lord Deepmere to say it was very interesting." "Oh, I'm not polite!" cried his lordship. "But it was interesting." "Madame de Bellegarde was giving you some good advice, eh?" said Newman; "toning you down a little?"
