I had myself let blood, and my worthy mother, who came to keep me company, dined with Maton. My mother had taken a weakness for the girl, and had often asked me to let her come and see her, but I had the good sense to refuse this request. The next day I was still far from well, and took medicine, and in the evening, to my horror, I found myself attacked by a fearful disease.
I replied that I never took Maton out anywhere, but that he would be welcome to come and take pot-luck with us every day if he liked. This refusal exhausted his resources, and he took his leave if not angrily, at least very coldly. I happened to look in that direction and I saw Maton at the window standing up and talking to M. de Bellegarde, who was at a neighbouring window.
Before long I learnt that my companion's name was Maton; this at least was her surname, and I did not feel any curiosity to know the name of the he or she saint whom her godmothers had constituted her patron at the baptismal font. I asked her if she could write French as well as she spoke it, and she shewed me a letter by way of sample.
A week afterwards my brother John came to tell me that Bellegarde and five or six of his friends were on the sick list; Maton had certainly lost no time. "I am sorry for them, but it's their own fault; why didn't they take more care?" "But the girl came to Dresden with you." "Yes, and I sent her about her business. It was enough for me to keep them off while she was under my charge.
In the meantime let him imagine me rolling peacefully along the Dresden road.
