Madame Henriette, twin sister of the Duchess of Parma, was much regretted, for she had considerable influence over the King's mind, and it was remarked that if she had lived she would have been assiduous in finding him amusements in the bosom of his family, would have followed him in his short excursions, and would have done the honours of the 'petits soupers' which he was so fond of giving in his private apartments.
"My God! my God!" the man exclaimed, his eyes swimming with tears, "what is to become of us?" Henriette endeavored to comfort them, but it was in a voice that quavered strangely. "You have been preserved to each other, you are safe and unharmed; your three little girls are left you. What reason have you to complain?"
She stopped for a while, then, in a louder voice, as though she were calling someone: "Henriette!" then waited a moment and continued: "Tell your father that I wish to speak to him before he goes to business." And suddenly: "I am not feeling very well to-day, darling; promise not to come home late. Tell your employer that I am sick.
Henriette had to admit that she had at least one supporter. "But I believe," she added, "that your practice is better than your preaching." "It seems to be an ordinance of Nature," said Hadria, "that these things shall never correspond." Hadria said nothing more about her project, and when Henriette alluded to it, answered that it was still unfurnished with detail.
I Purchase a Handsome Carriage, and Proceed to Parma With the Old Captain and the Young Frenchwoman I Pay a Visit to Javotte, and Present Her With a Beautiful Pair of Gold Bracelets My Perplexities Respecting My Lovely Travelling Companion A Monologue Conversation with the Captain Tete- a-Tete with Henriette
As maid of honor to the English princess, Henriette, Louise was plunged into all the festivities of Fontainebleau, Versailles, and the Palais Royal, of which the King was always the soul and centre.
"Splendid!" cried Henrietta "Roughly speaking, Bunny, we've pulled in between forty and fifty thousand dollars to-day." "About that," said I, with an inward chuckle, for I, of course, did not tell Henriette of eight beauties I had kept out of the returns for myself. "But what are we going to do when Mrs. Gushington-Andrews finds out that they are gone?"
I turned over the strange missive, the address in a lady's hand quite unknown to me, examining it closely, as one does when mystified, guessing vainly at a solution instead of settling it by instantly breaking the seal. When at last I opened it my eye went first to the signature. To my utter amazement I read the name, "Henriette Standish."
She read them with delight; and her natural desire for action, her longing also to pour out, herself unknown, the secret aspirations and yearnings of her heart to some one who would understand her, prompted the first letter; which, according to M. de Spoelberch de Lovenjoul, was dictated by her to Anna's governess, Mlle. Henriette Borel.
Love is the little impudent god, the enemy of bashfulness, although he may very often enjoy darkness and mystery, but if he gives way to it he feels disgraced; he loses three-fourths of his dignity and the greatest portion of his charms. Evidently there could be no happiness for Henriette or for me unless we parted with the person and even with the remembrance of the excellent captain.
