When they went into the dining-room the count asked if he might let his dogs come in, and they settled themselves one on either side of their master. After dinner, as Jeanne and Julien were preparing to leave, M. de Fourville kept them a little longer to look at some fishing by torchlight.
And with this kind of explanation of Reine's actions, his irritation seemed to lessen. Not that his grief was less poignant, but the first burst of rage had spent itself like a great wind-storm, which becomes lulled after a heavy fall of rain; the bitterness was toned down, and he was enabled to reason more clearly. Julien well, what was the part of Julien in all this disturbance?
I wish I knew," she added plaintively, a few minutes later, "what you have been reading or whom you have been meeting lately." "Don't bother about me," Anne begged. "What you want to do now is to tell Parkins to pack up your things and I'll come and see you off by the four o'clock train. Julien must wait outside for my future employer.
"Claudet?" murmured she. "He is dead," replied Julien, almost inaudibly, "he fought bravely and was killed at Montebello." The young girl remained motionless, and for a moment de Buxieres thought she would be able to bear, with some degree of composure, this announcement of the death in a foreign country of a man whom she had refused as a husband.

Julien interrupted. "Since the night, Sir Julien, when you came as far as Boulogne." "May I ask," Julien demanded, "whether I am going to be subject to your espionage?" The young man whose name was Foster looked blandly at a pile of luggage which was just arriving. "I am not at liberty, Sir Julien," he said, "to explain my instructions." Julien shrugged his shoulders. "Do as you like, of course.
"Certainly," she replied, briefly. She felt a presentiment that something decisive was about to take place between her and Julien, and her voice trembled as she replied.
She was not looking at him, but at the face of a man on the paper before her a young man with abundant hair, a strong chin, and big, eloquent eyes; and all around his face she had drawn the face of a girl many times, and beneath the faces of both she was writing Manette and Julien. The water was getting too deep for John Alloway. He floundered towards the shore.
She thought she should like to make a romantic, superstitious pilgrimage to the wood, and she felt as if a visit to that sunny spot would in some way alter the course of her life. Julien had gone out at daybreak, she did not know whither, so she ordered the Martins' little white horse, which she sometimes rode, to be saddled, and set off.
One thing struck Claudet: the pastures and the woods bore exactly the same aspect, presented the same play of light and shade as on that afternoon of the preceding year, when he had met Reine in the Ronces woods, a few days before the arrival of Julien.
