A plain-looking carriage will wait for us on the Place de la Madeleine; immediately on leaving the church we shall set out for Villiers. M. de Meilhan is at Richeport. M. de Monbert is in Brittany. Eight days must elapse before the news can reach them. Thus I have before me eight days of holy intoxication. What man has ever been able to say as much?
Take my advice be prudent be wise be generous leave Richeport and come to me; we can assist and console each other; you can render me a great service, I will explain how when we meet I will remain here for a few days; do not hesitate to come at once Between a friend who fears you and a friend who loves you and claims you can you hesitate? IRENE DE CHATEAUDUN to Mme.
EDGAR DE MEILHAN to the PRINCE DE MONBERT, St. RICHEPORT, June 23d 18 . You place a confidence in the police worthy the prince you are, dear Roger; you rely upon their information with a faith that surprises and alarms me. How do you expect the police to know anything concerning honest people? Never having watched them, being too much occupied with scoundrels, they do not know how to go about it.
What delicious dreams will visit me to-night in my hammock at Richeport! My next letter will begin, I hope, with this triumphant line of the Chevalier de Bertin: "Elle est

I passed some hours at Richeport with you and Edgar, and there I made a discovery that you must have made before me, and a reflection that you will make after me. I am sixty years old in my feelings travel ages one more than anything else you are twenty-five, according to your baptismal register. How fortunate you are to have some one able to give you advice!
I should expect, at every turn, to see your white dress gleaming among the trees. Richeport is too much associated with you for me to dwell here longer; your memory has exiled me from it for ever. I must put a huge impossibility between myself and you; six thousand miles hardly suffice to separate us.
Richeport, July 23d 18 . I am mad with rage, wild with grief! That Louise! I do not know what keeps me from setting fire to the house that conceals her! I must go away; I shall commit some insane act, some crime, if I remain! I have written her letter after letter; I have tried in every way to see her; all my efforts unavailing! It is like beating your head against a wall!
We finally approached in our recollections, through many windings, our meeting upon the banks of the Seine, under the shades of Richeport. "What seems sad to me," she said with touching grace, "is that after having loved me without knowing me, you should have left me as soon as you did know me.
