"We must perpetuate this order, Shuffles," said Paul, as they stood in the presence of the Grand Protectress. "I think we must," replied the captain. "We will organize more systematically when we have time." "And have a suitable emblem to distinguish the members." "The white ribbon must not be discarded," protested Paul, glancing at Grace.
He felt a vague anxiety at sight of the envelope with the black seal, which the protectress of Gabriel had delivered to the notary, and was still held mechanically in his hands.
The Gymnase asked for time, was very meek, prayed, supplicated. It would have succumbed, however, but for the intervention of the Duchess of Berry. Scribe composed for the apartments of the Tuileries a vaudeville, called La Rosiere, in which he invoked the Princess as protectress, as a beneficent fairy. She turned aside the fulminations of M. de Corbiere.
Emily, though sorry to leave her protectress, was drawn by the irresistible magnetism of affection to Cottage Island. She compromised between the opposing demands of duty by promising herself that she would again visit the wood-yard. She embarked with Dr. Vaudelier, and they were soon gliding down the mighty river on their way to Cottage Island.
She had become Hannah's daughter, and blind Helios the son of the house. Arsinoe was only allowed to see her sister rarely and always accompanied by her protectress, and she and Selene never were able to have any unchecked and open conversation.

This theory at least offers a credible explanation of the hero's temporary oblivion of or unfaithfulness to his protectress, after their successful escape together.
By the tone she gave to the two words, "Poor woman!" the Marquise betrayed the joy of satisfied hatred, the pleasure of triumph. Oh! what woes did she not wish to befall Lucien's protectress. Revenge, which nothing can assuage, which can survive the person hated, fills us with dark terrors. And Madame Camusot, though harsh herself, vindictive, and quarrelsome, was overwhelmed.
"They won't touch a hair of your heads now," she boasted unwisely. Again came the stinging volleys on the sheeted figures. A few of the peas flew by chance, or otherwise, in the direction of the protectress, herself. "Come into the house this minute," she called to her brood. "I'll fix 'em." The door slammed angrily.
