Lampron's silence is the only argument which struggles in my heart in favor of the Mouillard practice. Who can guess from what quarter the wind will blow? June 5th. The die is cast; I will not be a lawyer. The tradition of the Mouillards is broken for good, Sylvestre is defeated for good, and I am free for good and quite uncertain of my future.
It used to be hidden among poplars, and its groves were famous for their shade. You must send in your card to the old lady of the house together with mine. They will receive you. Then you must break the news to them as you think best, that, in accordance with the dying wish of Sylvestre Lampron's mother, the portrait of Rafaella is to be given in perpetuity to the Villa Dannegianti.
"I quite agree. What next?" "What next?" He had risen, and was speaking with unusual vehemence. "I once knew some one like you, whose first passion, rash, but deep as yours would be, broke his heart forever. The heart, my friend, is liable to break, and can not be mended like china." Lampron's mother interrupted him afresh, reproachfully. "He came to wish you a happy birthday, my child."

"Oh, your lordship thinks of driving to Desio? That is quite right. It is much more picturesque than going by train. A little way beyond Monza. Monza, sir, is one of our richest jewels; you will see there "
But I explained, in my purest Tuscan, that I was not of the ordinary kind of importunate tourist. I told him that he ran a serious risk if he did not immediately hand my card and my letter Lampron's card in an envelope to the Comtesse Dannegianti. From his stony glare I could not tell whether I had produced any impression, nor even whether he had understood.
It makes one believe, Monsieur Fabien, that the elect of the earth are the hardest tried, just as the stones that crown the building are more deeply cut than their fellows." I returned from Madame Lampron's, softened, calmer, wiser. May 5th. A letter from M. Mouillard breathing fire and fury. Were I not so low spirited I could laugh at it.
She looked at me like a prisoner awaiting a verdict. I began by telling her of the death of Lampron's mother. Her only answer was an attentive nod. She guessed something else was coming and stood on guard, so to speak. I went on and told her that the portrait of her daughter was on its way to her.
