The man in him appealed powerfully to the woman in her; they were physical affinities. She had told him this in a hundred ways half unconsciously and without speech before they parted at Marseilles, but the mind in him had not appealed to the mind in her. She did not know his mind, its stature or its bent, and until that knowledge came to her she could not love him.
On his arrival at Marseilles, he hears that war has been declared by France against Austria; for the republican Ministry, which Louis XVI. had recently been compelled to accept, believed that war against an absolute monarch would intensify revolutionary fervour in France and hasten the advent of the Republic. Their surmises were correct.
The only incident of the journey was a visit to the Abbé Raynal at Marseilles. We would gladly know something of the talk between the master and the pupil, but we do not. Napoleon found no change in the circumstances of the Buonaparte family. The old archdeacon was still living, and for the moment all except Elisa were at home. On the whole, they were more needy than ever.
Now they sleep far apart, one in the Pantheon of ancient Rome, in the midst of the Italian people, who hold his name in everlasting honor; the other in an exile's grave in England, with a name upon it that is execrated from Boulogne to Strasburg, and from Calais to Marseilles. Thackeray's family in Paris. Madame Mohl. Her husband's encouraging theory about learning languages. Mr. Scholey.
And so that time may be allowed to intercede and appeal to the parent heart with the potent prayer of a daughter's absence, I shall take my lady from Chambord some three days hence. We shall travel by easy stages to Marseilles, and there take ship for Palermo.

From Marseilles I travelled by rail to Calais, and so impatient was I to reach my journey's end without loss of time, that I did not even stay over to behold the glories of Paris. I had a commission to execute in London, which, however, delayed me there only a few hours, and I hurried down to Liverpool, in the hope of catching the Cunard Steamer for New York.
The air was so very clear, that distant hills and rocky points appeared within an hour's walk; while the town immediately at hand with a kind of blue wind between me and it seemed to be white hot, and to be throwing off a fiery air from its surface. We left this town toward evening, and took the road to Marseilles. A dusty road it was; the houses shut up close; and the vines powdered white.
There was something ready to rush out to satisfy expectation. She was deeply interested in Heath. About ten days after the "spree" at the Monico she received a telegram from Marseilles "Starting to-night, home the day after to-morrow; love. Heath dropped in that day, and Mrs. Mansfield mentioned the telegram. "Charmian will be back on Thursday. I told you Adelaide Shiffney would be in a hurry."
Our hero then sought out the Earl of Ployer, who had been brought up in England during the French wars, by whom he was refurnished better than ever. After this streak of luck, he roamed about France, viewing the castles and strongholds, and at length embarked at Marseilles on a ship for Italy.
