"The civil tone and expression assumed for the occasion did not impose upon me; I divined that she would never allow me to see her husband.

The Couillards' daughter had just had a child and was therefore going to be married.
"O Pauline, Pauline, you love me far too much!" "There is something very extraordinary going on in your mind, Raphael! Do not dissimulate. I shall very soon find out your secret.
