There was so little ardour in this submission that M. Moriaz queried if his daughter had not been dreaming, if M. Larinski was as much in love with her as she fancied. He had not read the anonymous letter; Antoinette had refrained from even mentioning it to him. He was returning to Saint Moritz, when he met midway a pedestrian, who, lost in thought, neither looked at him nor recognised him.
At all events, I am not sure that they are the best qualified men in the world to make a wife happy, and I intend that my daughter shall be happy." "You are not convinced as I am that M. Larinski has a superior mind, and a heart of gold?" "A heart of gold! I should be glad to believe it. I have no reason to doubt it; but many very skilful persons are deceived by false jewellery.
I read physiognomies very correctly, and I never need to see people twice to know how far they can be relied on." After a pause she added, "I wonder if I dare tell you, my dear, of an idea that has occurred to me?" "Tell me, by all means. Your ideas sometimes amuse me." "Might it not turn out that the author of a certain note, and sender of a certain thing, was M. le Comte Abel Larinski?"
He gave himself up to study, devoted nearly two years to perfecting his invention, and applied all his increased skill to rendering his gun lighter and less costly. When put under test, the new firearm burst, and this vexatious incident ruined forever the reputation of the Larinski gun.
A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse: a spring shut up a fountain sealed. Some day she will cry out, with the Shulamite, 'Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits. She belongs to us, my dear Larinski my dear partner; she had yielded, and you and I share the honour of the victory. I presented myself before her, and my presence did not displease her.
When she had finished, Count Abel Larinski, the man with green eyes, who had entered the salon without her hearing him, approached to thank her for the pleasure he had had in listening to her; but he begged to take the liberty to tell her that she failed to properly observe the movement, and had taken an andantino for an andante.
He was as happy as a king who has his troops pass in review before him, and feels convinced that they bear themselves well; that they will stand fire and do honour to their master. Agreeable as was the occupation to which for two hours he had devoted himself, M. Moriaz had not forgotten the existence of his daughter and of M. Larinski.
She compared M. Larinski with all the other men she ever had known, and she concluded that he resembled none of them. And it was he who had written: "I arrived in this village disgusted with life, sorrowful and so weary that I longed to die. I saw you pass by, and I know not what mysterious virtue entered into me. I will live."
"Yes! she is certainly very beautiful as well as very rich," said Count Abel Larinski, as he watched, through his hotel window, the graceful figure of Mlle. Antoinette Moriaz. "A marriage between Count Abel Larinski, the sole descendant of one of the most ancient and noble families of Poland, and Mlle.
Her day had come; her heart was no longer free: the bird had allowed itself to be caught. Mlle. Moiseney said to her one evening: "It seems certain to me that we never shall see Count Larinski again." She replied in an almost indifferent tone, "No doubt he has found people at Cellarina, or elsewhere, who are more entertaining than we." "You mean to say," said Mlle.
