Ellen looked at him, the sturdy backward fling of his head and shoulders, and the honest regard of his pained yet unflinching eyes, and a great weakness of natural longing for that which she was even now deprecating nearly overswept her. She was nearer loving him that moment than ever before. She realized something in him which could command love the renunciation of love for love's sake.
The Chevalier de Grammont, perceiving that she attended to him with pleasure, was fully confirmed in the truth of his first conjectures; and, having carried Hamilton home with him to supper, they began to discourse freely together as usual, "George," said the Chevalier de Grammont, "are you in any want of money? I know you love play: perhaps it may not be so favourable to you as it is to me.
And I must tell you that, from the first, I was greatly moved with the love which linked you to each other. Thus, the rights of the abbey having been recognized, I determined to complete your joy, after having proved your loyalty. And this manumission shall cost you nothing." Having said this, he touched them lightly on the cheeks, and they kneeled at his feet and wept for joy.
And this is another fruit of my education another curse that came with a mother this wilful love of the perilous and the passionate this scorn of the gentle and the soft this fondness for the fierce contradiction this indifference to the thing easily won this thirst after the forbidden. Poor Ellen so gentle, so resigned, and so fond of her destroyer; but I will not see her again.
"And that makes you happy, does it?" said I. "It does, not because of the gain in money, though I am by no means rich, but for the beauty of the idea and for the thought that I owe it all to you.

Why, Pa, he's blushing like a girl. I know. He's ashamed to kiss me now. He's going to be married at last to that Creole girl in New Orleans." The Colonel slapped his knee, winked slyly at Lige, while Virginia began to sing: "I built me a house on the mountain so high, To gaze at my true love as she do go by."
Only this was wanting to complete my tale of troubles, all of which I suffer for your love. You repay me well, forsooth. But let it be as it must: I am willing to acknowledge that I have always brought shame and loss on you, and on this supposition I beg your pardon. Reckon that you are pardoning a son who has lived a bad life and done you all the harm which it is possible to do.
By spending twenty-five thousand francs upon it it could be let, undoubtedly, for ten thousand. Make Mademoiselle Thuillier the proprietor of that house and you'll win her love; she'll believe that you can put such chances in her way every year.
