I see, as I tell you, Regnard's soul shining out of Gaston's eyes; I see Regnard's nature speaking in Gaston's words and acts. Brothers often grow the more alike as time goes on, but why could not Regnard have grown like Gaston, instead of Gaston like Regnard?" "Has anything been heard of Monsieur Regnard lately?" I asked. Francezka shook her head.
She rose as she spoke and actually grew taller, and her voice, although low, had a ring of joy and exultation in it when she repeated the words, "I am the wife of Gaston Cheverny." Still standing, she came nearer to me I had risen too and kept on: "I have not words to describe to you Regnard's countenance at that. It was not disappointment; it seemed to be only the most overmastering rage.
I may remain as long as I think necessary, but my duty compelled me to say that I could find out all there was to know and return within a fortnight. I shall see Francezka, and, Babache, only fancy Regnard's chagrin when he finds out, after my return, that I have lain perdu in Brabant for two weeks!" I had no time to fancy anything then, for Count Saxe was calling me.
Gaston Cheverny was satisfied at this, reckoning me, and truly, as his friend. Regnard, on the contrary, was ill-pleased. Yet he showed excellent temper and judgment, always. It was to be a long chase, that of Mademoiselle Capello; and Regnard's qualities, persistence, cheerfulness under defeat, and airy, indomitable spirit, often tell in the end.
Count Saxe contemplated the buying of a regiment as soon as a fit opportunity came he shortly after bought the regiment of Spar and Gaston Cheverny must needs be on the spot, if he wished, as he needed, promotion. Regnard's ampler fortune made him freer than Gaston, but he was not a man likely to forget his own advancement. We saw them depart with regret, and then increased our own pace.
