'You shall have the business now if you choose to take it- -only pray don't leave me! George explained that at any rate he would not desert her now at once; and on the Monday named he started for Granpere. He had not been very quick in his action, for a week had passed since he had given Edmond Greisse his breakfast in the hotel kitchen.
On the present occasion George seated himself next to the lad, and they were soon discussing all the news from Granpere. 'And how is Marie Bromar? George asked at last. 'You have heard about her, of course, said Edmond Greisse. 'Heard what? 'She is going to be married. 'Minnie Bromar to be married? And to whom?
She was very wretched, but she did not go about the house with downcast eyes or humble looks, or sit idle in a corner with her hands before her. She was quick and eager in the performance of her work, speaking sharply to those who came in contact with her. Peter Veque, her chief minister, had but a poor time of it in these days; and she spoke an angry word or two to Edmond Greisse.
Then Edmond Greisse had come to Colmar, and brought the first rumour of Adrian Urmand's proposal of marriage. The reader will perhaps remember that George, when he heard this first rumour, had at once made up his mind to go over to Granpere, and that he went. He went to Granpere partly believing, and partly disbelieving Edmond's story.
