As for Madame de Tecle, to tell of all the tender attentions and exquisite delicacies, that a sweet womanly nature knows so well how to apply to heal the wounds it has inflicted how graciously she glided into her maternal relation with Camors to tell all this would require a pen wielded by her own soft hands. Two days later M. de Camors left Reuilly for Paris.
"Yes, General, a little property which belonged to my mother; a small manor, with a little land round it, called Reuilly." "Reuilly! Not two steps from Des Rameures! Certainly certainly! Well, that is one foot in the stirrup." "But then there is one difficulty; I am obliged to sell it." "The devil! And why?"
"Will you be kind enough, Monsieur," she said, "to let me know whom I have the honor of receiving?" "I am Monsieur de Camors." "Ah! Then I have excuses also to make. It was probably you whom we saw this morning. We have been very rude my daughter and I but we were ignorant of your arrival; and Reuilly has been so long deserted."
A journey of twenty-four hours, which he made fifteen days after his arrival, was to them a confirmation of the truth they before suspected; but his prompt return, his new tastes, which kept him at Reuilly during the summer, seemed to them favorable symptoms. He was singularly sad, pensive, and more inactive than usual in his habits. He took long walks alone.
"Will you be kind enough, Monsieur," she said, "to let me know whom I have the honor of receiving?" "I am Monsieur de Camors." "Ah! Then I have excuses also to make. It was probably you whom we saw this morning. We have been very rude my daughter and I but we were ignorant of your arrival; and Reuilly has been so long deserted."
Her health supplied her with a natural excuse for not going, during that summer, to Campvallon, and also for keeping herself confined to her own room the day the Marquise visited Reuilly, accompanied by the General. Madame de Tecle received her with her usual kindness.
He immediately left the salon and the chateau; he reached the railway station on foot, and that evening arrived at Reuilly. Something terrible there awaited him. During his absence, Madame de Camors, accompanied by her mother, had gone to Paris to make some purchases. She remained there three days. She had returned only that morning. He himself arrived late in the evening.
Leonard seemed pleased that he was not to be the bearer of any disagreeable message; and Camors, suddenly conceiving that his stay at Reuilly might be prolonged for some time, reentered the chateau and examined the different rooms, arranging with the steward the best plan of making the house habitable.
He had been at Reuilly since that morning, and called on Madame de Tecle, where he learned his overture was accepted. Once having resolved on this monstrous action, he was determined to carry it through in the most correct manner, and we know he was master of all social arts.
"It certainly is not a public way, Monsieur le Comte," replied Leonard. "Then what do these ladies mean by using this road?" "Bless me, Monsieur le Comte, it is so long since any of the owners have been at Reuilly! These ladies mean no harm by passing through your woods; and sometimes they even stop at the chateau while my wife gives them fresh milk.
