I shut my eyes, and in the emotion of the moment I bent the bow on the top of the frame of Ambrosine Eustasie. Then, dragging myself from his embrace and stuttering with rage, "How dare you!" I gasped. "How dare you!" He looked sulky and offended. "You said you would marry me what is a fellow to understand?"
I never willingly let myself think of Antony, but unconsciously my thoughts are always turning to the evening in the fog. I do not know where he is. He may be at Dane Mount, only these few miles off, and yet we must not meet. I wonder if Ambrosine Eustasie de Calincourt had ever a lover. Probably and she would have listened to him, being of her time.
Yes, Ambrosine Eustasie, for me to-morrow there is also the guillotine; and perhaps I, too, could walk up the steps smiling if I were allowed a rose to keep off the smell of the common people; Augustus's mother uses patchouli. No one can possibly imagine the unpleasantness of a honey-moon until they have tried it. It is no wonder one is told nothing at all about it.
"No, I did not know." My heart began to beat in a sickening fashion. He leaned close to me over the sill. I put down the cup and took up the miniature. I thought if I looked at Ambrosine Eustasie that would give me courage. I went on dusting it, and I was glad to see my hands did not shake.
Indeed, her mother was Irish, and I think grandmamma still speaks French with an accent. So it was annoying for them to have had their heads chopped off and to be obliged to live in Dublin on nothing a year. The grandmother of grandmamma, Ambrosine Eustasie de Calincourt, after whom I am called, was a famous character.
It is bound in brown leather and has the same arms and coronet upon it that my chatelaine has the arms of Ambrosine Eustasie de Calincourt and an "A. E. de C." entwined, all tooled in faded gold. "The arms on my knife!" Antony said, pulling it from his waistcoat-pocket and comparing them. "My knife," I said. "Tell me all about her A.E. de C.," he commanded, seating himself on the sofa again.
"I was sent for," observed he, as we sat down to table, "to consult as to the propriety of requesting from the Pope the canonisation of the Soeur Eustasie, of whom you have heard so much, and whose disappearance has been attributed to miraculous agency: but during our consultation, a piece of information was sent in, which has very much changed the opinion of parties as to her reputed sanctity.

"But where is your great-great-grandmother that you told me about, and rather insinuated she was as nice as my Ambrosine Eustasie de Calincourt?" "There she is, in the place of honor. She was painted by Gainsborough, after she married. What do you think of her?" "Oh! she is lovely," I said, "and she has your cat's eyes." "'She is your ancestress, too, but she is not like you.
