Do not make yourself unhappy about it, mademoiselle; I shall see her again, probably, and shall endeavour to find out every circumstance respecting her. With these words, M. Lagnier respectfully took leave, having by one more expressive glance testified his delighted approval of the alteration which had taken place in the young lady's appearance.
She was one of those favoured beings whom no prosperity can spoil, no education entirely mislead, and whose very faults arise from the overflowings of a good and generous nature. The thought which agitated her now was one worthy of her gentle heart. 'Monsieur Lagnier, she said earnestly, 'such beautiful hair could only have belonged to a young person.
Her thoughts were still busy in the formation of another plan for the discovery of Lucille, when, upon her arrival at home, she was informed that M. Lagnier desired anxiously to see her, having something to communicate. 'Mademoiselle, I have not been idle, he exclaimed, immediately upon entering the apartment. 'Here is Lucille's address, and I have seen her mother.
John Baptist, looking anything but reassured, sat down on the floor at the bedside, keeping his eyes upon his patron all the time. 'That's well! cried Lagnier. 'Now we might be in the old infernal hole again, hey? How long have you been out? 'Two days after you, my master. 'How do you come here?
Take this, and be sure you say nothing about it to any one, especially to Mademoiselle Adelaide; and without waiting for one word of thanks, he was about to hurry away, when he was stopped by Mademoiselle de Varenne in person. 'Ah, Monsieur Lagnier, she merrily exclaimed, 'this is not fair.
Would mademoiselle object to wearing a slight addition of false hair? he asked anxiously, after a moment's pause. 'Indeed, I should not like it, was the reply. 'Besides, Monsieur Lagnier, you have often told me that, in all Paris, it was impossible to obtain any of the same shade as mine.
'I have so very little hair; and I am sure it is not my fault nor, she added archly, 'the fault of all those infallible pomades and essences recommended to me by somebody I know. M. Lagnier looked embarrassed. 'Mademoiselle is so gay, she finds amusement in everything, he replied.
Madame d'Héranville refastened her cloak, and soon afterwards, with Adelaide and M. Lagnier, found herself ascending the steep and dilapidated staircase of the house inhabited by the Delmonts. Adelaide seated herself upon the highest step, to await the arrival of her friend, whose agility in mounting was not quite equal to her own.
Adelaide de Varenne pronounced these words in a tone of pettishness very unusual with her, as, giving vent to a long sigh of impatience and weariness, she glanced hastily at the mirror on her toilet-table, and saw there reflected the busy fingers of M. Lagnier, the hairdresser, deliberately unfastening her hair, and preparing once more to attempt the arrangement, which repeated failures had declared to be an impossibility.
'Ah, but I have succeeded at last! exclaimed he; and as he spoke, he drew triumphantly from his pocket a small packet, in which was carefully enveloped a long lock of soft golden hair. 'How beautiful! Adelaide involuntarily exclaimed. 'Oh, Monsieur Lagnier, that is far finer and brighter than mine.
