At any rate it was better so than being alone and moody and despised of all people. He would know now how to get away from Granpere without having to plan a surreptitious escape. Of course he had come out intending to be miserable, to be known as an ill-used man who had been treated with an amount of cruelty surpassing all that had ever been told of in love histories.
Therefore when the bell was heard there came together some dozen residents of Granpere, mostly young men engaged in the linen trade, from their different lodgings, and each took his accustomed seat down the sides of the long board, at which, tied in a knot, was placed his own napkin.
As he took one of the horses belonging to the inn and drove himself, it seemed to be certain that he would not stay long. He started all alone, early in the morning, and reached Granpere about twelve o'clock.
Indeed, she saw farther than that, and became aware that it would be inexpedient for her to fall into any special or minute conversation with her cousin during his short stay at Granpere. 'You'll go up to the woods with me tomorrow eh, George? said the father. The son of course assented. It was hardly possible that he should not assent.
After two days, Adrian was to return to Basle, and to be seen no more at Granpere till he came to claim his bride. In regard to the choice of the day, Michel declared roundly that no constraint should be put upon Marie. She should have her full privileges, and no one should be allowed to interfere with her. On this point Marie had brought herself to be almost indifferent.
I shall not be at the marriage, but I should like to see them first. I shall go the day after to-morrow. And he went to Granpere on the day he fixed. 'Probably one night only, but I won't make any promise, George had said to Madame Faragon when she asked him how long he intended to stay at Granpere.
Up among the Vosges mountains in Lorraine, but just outside the old half-German province of Alsace, about thirty miles distant from the new and thoroughly French baths of Plombieres, there lies the village of Granpere. Whatever may be said or thought here in England of the late imperial rule in France, it must at any rate be admitted that good roads were made under the Empire.
The very words of her love- promises were still firm in his memory, and he would see if she also could be made to remember them. 'I shall go over to Granpere the day after to-morrow, he said to Madame Faragon, as he caught her just before she retired for the night. 'To Granpere the day after to-morrow? And why? 'Well, I don't know that I can say exactly why.
He had told Madame Faragon that he expected to stay at Granpere but one night. He felt, however, after his arrival that it might be difficult for him to get away on the following day, and therefore he told them that he would sleep two nights at the Lion d'Or, and then start early, so as to reach the Colmar inn by mid-day.
But when George came up, he bowed a recognition with his head; as though he should have said, 'I see you; but I cannot say that you are welcome to Granpere. George stood for a moment or two, and then addressed his father. 'Adrian Urmand is here with you, is he not, father? 'He is in the house somewhere, said Michel, sullenly. 'May I speak to him?
