But I should have gone quite wrong; Madame Beaurepas had no fault at all to find with her new pensionnaires. "I have no observation whatever to make about them," she said to me one evening. "I see nothing in those ladies which is at all deplace. They don't complain of anything; they don't meddle; they take what's given them; they leave me tranquil. The Americans are often like that.
It is stated that a French version of Mrs. Leicester's School, under the title Les Jeunes Pensionnaires, was published. I have seen, however, only Petits Conies
After supper the little pensionnaires were to be taken back, and as some lady must escort them, I undertook the charge, finding with great delight that their father would accompany them likewise. I effaced myself as much as I could on the way, and let the father and daughters talk to one another; and they chattered freely about their tasks, and works, and playfellows, seeming very happy with him.
Rose laughed like a creature, her aunt said, "to whom the notion of noise at play was something strange and ridiculous; necessity has reduced her to Jacqueline Pascal's system with her pensionnaires, who were allowed to play one by one without any noise." "But I don't play all alone," said Rose; "I play with you, Aunt Ermine, and with Violetta."

I asked, and was told that two pensionnaires lived in this room; but they were old friends, and for one night would sleep in the same bed to oblige monsieur. The ideas of length and breadth in connection with the beds were entirely driven from my head by the fact of their dirtiness; and I determined that if the two pensionnaires occupied the one, the other should be unoccupied.
The nuns had shrunk from her as a heretic, and kept their novices and pensionnaires from the taint of communication with her; and all the honour she might have deserved for the Queen's escape seemed to have been forfeited by that moment of fear, which in the telling had become greatly exaggerated. It was true that the Queen had never alluded to it; but probably through Mrs.
'Will you stay in those rooms? she inquired, slowly blowing away the curls of smoke in front of her. David replied that he could not yet decide. He looked as he felt in a difficulty. 'Oh! you will do well enough there. But your sister Tenez! There is a family on the floor below an artist and his wife. I have known them take pensionnaires.
