"No, no, child," he said in a toneless, miserable voice; "she was not so base as that. Tell me more of what she said." "She said very little else. But Merlin asked her whether she had denounced you so as to get you out of the way. He hinted that that..." "That I was her lover too?" "Yes," murmured Anne Mie. She hardly liked to look at him; the strong face had become hard and set in its misery.
It would have been more satisfactory to have been able to make out whence came the stentorian A-men, that responded to the parson, totally unaccompanied save by the good Major, who always read his part almost as loud as the clerk, from a great octavo prayer-book, bearing on the lid the Delavie arms with coronet, supporters, and motto, "Ma Vie et ma Mie."
"Ma mie is asleep; don't wake her or she'll scold," said Christal jumping down from the window, and interposing between Miss Vanbrugh and the woman who was called Mrs. Manners. She was indeed a very beautiful woman, though her beauty was on a grand scale. She had flung herself, half-dressed, upon what seemed a heap of straw, with a blanket thrown over.
Since her son was in danger, she cared little as to whence that danger had come. Obedient to Deroulede's wish, Anne Mie was attending to the old lady's comforts. The poor, crippled girl was already feeling the terrible reaction of her deed. In her childish mind she had planned this way, in which to bring the traitor to shame.
Berenger was candid enough to recollect that royal commands did not brook disobedience, and, being thoroughly enamoured besides of his little wife, he hastened to make his peace by saying, 'True, ma mie, this cannot be helped. I was a wretch to find fault. Think of it no more. 'You forgive me? she said, softened instantly. 'Forgive you? What for, pretty one?
He walked beside them in a dream. The sound of Colombier's bells across Planeyse, men's voices singing fragments of a Dalcroze song floated to him, and with them all the dear familiar smells: Le coeur de ma mie Est petit, tout petit petit, J'en ai l'ame ravie.... It was Minks, drawing the keen air noisily into his lungs in great draughts, who recalled him to himself.
For the journey through France, my name is a sufficient guarantee that you will be unmolested; and if you will allow it, my mother and Anne Mie will travel in your company. Then..." "I pray you stop, Citizen Deroulede," she suddenly interrupted excitedly. "You must forgive me, but I cannot allow thus to make any arrangements for me. Petronelle and I must do as best we can.
Yet he felt both satisfaction not for his own safety, but because of his mother and Anne Mie, whom he would immediately send out of the country, out of all danger; and also because of her, of Juliette Marny, his guest, who, whatever she may have done against him, had still a claim on his protection. His feeling of surprise was less keen, and quite transient. Merlin had not found the letter-case.
For, even if she be distraught, and beside herself, as I well deem, I am sent to be a friend of all them that suffer. Moreover, ma mie, I have glad tidings for you, which I am longing to speak, but speak it I will never, while the lass goes thus in terror and fear of death or shame."
Before the time had expired he was exhausting every means to procure a longer delay; he even applied to the Austrian Ambassador that the Governor of Milan should use his influence with the family; but her return was insisted upon, and in August of 1777 Mie Mie left England to join her parents in Paris.
