Godmamma thought it most imprudent separating them like that, and would hardly let Victorine sit down so far away from her until she saw the daughter of the Princesse d'Hauterine at the same table. Victorine went in with another officer from Versailles, in the same regiment of Chasseurs as the Vicomte; he was like a small black monkey.
"I dare say, Arthur," she said, "that we should be quite as happy if we gave up trying to live in a way that we can't afford; but meanwhile there is godmamma." "Mrs. Glendower?" "Yes. You know she has left me five thousand dollars in her will; and she told me once that if the time came that I needed the money desperately I should have it for the asking."
You poor silly boy, who will not understand that the more you get the more you will always have. "Your Godmamma, "Who love you still although you treat her so badly, "The Countess of Riennes. Godfrey thrust this precious epistle back into his pocket with a feeling of physical and mental sickness.
You, you rejoice, yes, and shall rejoice for though sometimes I hate you I must tell it. Yet I am sorry if I have harmed you, and should you be able, I pray you, say a good word in the World of Speerits for your sinful old godmamma Riennes. So fare you well, who thinking that you have lost, have gained all. It is I, I who have lost.
It came to an end at last, and we returned arm-in-arm to the house, while the servants arranged the pavilion for the cotillon. Godmamma collected Victorine and me, and made us stay by her; and that horrid old Mme. de Visac the one who called me a "jeune femme" came up, and they had a conversation.
Hate and bad luck to you, my little Brother, from your dear godmamma, whose good heart you have so outraged. So fare ill till you hear from me again, yes and always. Now you will guess my name, so I need not sign it. "P.S. Eleanor also sends you her hate from another sphere."
Héloise was not in the room, and Godmamma said to me that it was time for our walk, as the rain had stopped, and Mdlle. So we bundled out of the room, and Victorine for the first time became affectionate as we went upstairs. "Il est venu pour demander ma main, pour son neveu, Monsieur de Beaupré," she said, putting her arm round my waist; "J'espère que cela ne vous chagrine pas, chérie?"
Well, now I show you. Come, mon petit, and give your dear godmamma a kiss," and she smiled at him like an ogress. Now the last thing in the whole world that Godfrey wished to do was to embrace Madame Riennes, whom he loathed so that every fibre of his body shrank from her. Yet, oh horror! a wild impulse to kiss her took possession of him.
Dinner is to be at eight, in a large pavilion, where they have had a beautiful parquet floor laid down, and then when the tables are cleared away, we shall begin the cotillon. As I have never danced in one before, I hope I sha'n't make an idiot of myself. This morning I very nearly had another row with Godmamma you will never guess what for, Mamma!
I do think it such a sensible plan; and if we could have the foxes trained in England to go just where they should, and then always drive to where the jumps are, like that, how much nicer hunting would be wouldn't it, Mamma? Well, at last every one seemed to be arrived, and it was gay. I was glad Godmamma had been too tired to come, so Victorine was actually trusted with Jean and Héloise and me.
