"But as this little man gets all the profit he can out of his littleness it was la grosse Leonie the brune, number three, you know ah, but you haven't seen us anyhow she has been in London and was telling me about him this evening all that nature has endowed him with he exaggerates eh bien! Why couldn't you do the same?"
Of the letter which she was writing she knew nothing whatever. "Léonie II.'s independent action is not entirely confined to writing letters. In order to accomplish an act like this Léonie II. has to wait for a moment when Léonie I. is distracted, or, as we say, absent-minded.
The Princess remained there for some weeks longer, and always maintained the same polite and friendly, but cool and sometimes ironical, demeanor towards him, but he easily endured being looked upon as her unfortunate adorer by the world, for at least every other day a small, scented note, stamped with her arms and signed Leonie, summoned him to the pavilion, and there he enjoyed the full, delightful possession of the beautiful woman.
In one of his letters home Colonel D'Hubert wrote, "All your plans, my dear Leonie, for marrying me to the charming girl you have discovered in your neighbourhood, seem farther off than ever. Peace is not yet. Europe wants another lesson. It will be a hard task for us, but it shall be done, because the Emperor is invincible."
But Madame Leonie, coming back wrapped up in a light cloak and carrying a lace shawl on her arm for Adele to hide her incriminating hair under, had a swift impression of her brother getting up from his knees. "Come along, my dear child," she cried from the doorway.
It's a thunderbolt indeed, my poor and innocent but disastrous little friend! Poor Leonie de Villepreux has been with us constantly and Jeanne and her husband have telegraphed that we may expect them day after to-morrow. They are evidently immensely emotionnes, for they almost never telegraph. They wish so to receive Gaston.
Madame Léonie then extended her shapely bare arm out of her peignoir, pointing dramatically at the divan: "This poor terrified child has rushed here two miles from home on foot running all the way." "What on earth has happened?" asked General D'Hubert in a low, agitated voice. But Madame Léonie was speaking loudly.
After a year of married life, therefore, she ruled the house; and Postel, only too happy to have discovered the heiress, meekly submitted to his wife. Mme. Leonie Postel, nee Marron, was nursing her first child, the darling of the old cure, the doctor, and Postel, a repulsive infant, with a strong likeness to both parents.
The gentleman had gone away, and the workshop settled down into quiet once more. When the bell rang for twelve Nana started up and said she would go out and execute any commissions. Leonie sent for two sous' worth of shrimp, Augustine for some fried potatoes, Sophie for a sausage and Lisa for a bunch of radishes. As she was going out, her aunt said quietly: "I will go with you. I want something."
"Well, uncle," said Leonie, "what has brought you to Angouleme, since you will not take anything, and no sooner come in than you talk of going?"
