The mother began to abuse me and her daughter, and threatened me with criminal proceedings if I did not give her up. Redegonde, however, calmed her by telling her the story, and she believed, or pretended to believe, it was all chance; but she said, "That's all very well; but you can't deny, you little slut, that you have been sleeping with him."
I saw that he knew how to behave in the position in which he was placed. A girl from Parma, named Redegonde, who played a man's part and sang very well, stayed to dinner. Therese had also asked a young Bolognese, named Corticelli. I was struck with the budding charms of this pretty dancer, but as I was just then full of Therese, I did not pay much attention to her.
My Cure Daturi is Beaten by Some Soldiers I Leave Wesel for Brunswick Redegonde Brunswick The Hereditary Prince The Jew My Stay at Wolfen-Buttel The Library Berlin Calsabigi and the Berlin Lottery Mdlle. Belanger At Supper-time, the doctor, his mother, and one of his sisters came to see me.
"We will see," said I, "how it all ends." Next day I went to breakfast with the Englishman, and told him Agatha was willing, but that I must first hear what Redegonde had to say. "Quite right," he observed. "I should require to know how we are to live together." "The four of us had better go masked to the first ball at the Carignan Theatre.
I told Redegonde that I was glad to meet her, and she replied that she had not hoped to have the pleasure of seeing me. Redegonde was the only one who had any appetite; she ate capitally, and laughed merrily at the stories I told her. After supper Therese asked her if she would like to have a sedan-chair sent for, or if she would prefer to be taken back in my carriage.
"I know," said he, "that you are in love with Redegonde, and have long tried vainly to obtain her; now I am willing to exchange her for Agatha, and all I want to know is what sum of money you want over and above?" "You are very good, my dear lord, but to determine the excess of value would require a good mathematician.
"If you have true friends you are a rich man, but true friends are scarce." I left the Abbe Gama, my head full of Redegonde, whom I preferred to the young Corticelli, and I went to pay her a visit; but what a reception! She received me in a room in which were present her mother, her uncle, and three or four dirty, untidy little monkeys: these were her brothers.
What surprised me was that the young nobleman had gained possession of Redegonde, whose mother appeared so intractable, but I knew what an influence caprice has on woman, and this explained the enigma. Agatha came to supper as usual, and laughed heartily when I told her of Lord Percy's proposal. "Tell me," said I, "if you would agree to the change?"
She said she had taken it for six months, but did not sleep there. After coffee had been served we were on the point of going out for a stroll, when who should come in but the prince. He smiled pleasantly when he saw us, and apologized to Redegonde for interrupting our little party.
When I was alone with Redegonde, far from begging for new favours, I advised her to be faithful to the prince; but though appearances were certainly not deceitful in this case, she would not admit anything. This was in accordance with her part as young mistress, and I did not reproach her for her want of confidence.
