Half an hour afterward the attendant thought her sleeping she exclaimed "Oh, how that does worry me!" "What worries you, ma'am?" was kindly asked. "That doll on the mantel. It is entirely out of place here. I wish you would remove it. Oh, dear, dear! And that toilette-glass straighten it, if you please. I can't bear any thing crooked. And there's Mary's rigolette on the bureau; the careless child!
John's, Newfoundland, is expected every day, and as our rivals for the honor of rediscovering Grand Falls are probably on board, there is a race in store for us to see who will get to Rigolette first, and which party will start ahead on the perilous journey up the Grand River.
Without being as much moved as his companion, Rudolph nevertheless experienced a painful impression on entering the modest apartment. He knew that the unfortunate young man must have passed many sad hours in this solitude. Rigolette placed the light on a table.
The grisette, seeing the pensive air of Fleur-de-Marie, said: "There is no use of cracking your head on this account, my good Goualeuse, we shall soon find out if we know the same M. Rudolph; when you see yours, speak to him of me; when I see mine, I will speak to him of you. In this way we can satisfy ourselves at once." "And where do you live, Rigolette?" "Rue du Temple, No. 17."
Rigolette had not, until now, any marked preference for either of her three lovers; but as she was not wanting in judgment, she found that Germain alone united all the qualities necessary to make a reasonable woman happy. These antecedents disposed of, we will say why Rigolette was sad, and why neither she nor her birds sung.
And Rigolette taking her place, awaited with impatience the end of the conversation of her neighbor, in order to be able to ask for Germain. Now a few words on the preceding scene. Unfortunately, it must be confessed, the indignation of the brother of Jeanne Duport was legitimate. Yes: in saying the law was too dear for the poor, he said the truth.
Do you remember the poor woman to whom you gave your mattress, linen, and the small amount of money you had, which we were about to spend in the country? for then you were crazy after the country, you little village girl!" "And you did not like it much, Rigolette. How kind you were, for it was on my account you went."
In those papers I have also read something else," added Rigolette, blushing anew, and casting down her eyes; "I have read some things that " "Oh! that you should have been always ignorant of, I swear it," cried Germain, quickly, "but for the misfortune which has fallen upon me Ah! I interest you; be generous; pardon me these follies; forget them.
Thanks to you, I go away from here less sad than I thought; and then, perhaps, we may meet here again, for you come, like me, to see a prisoner?" "Yes, madame," answered Rigolette, sighing. "Then, adieu. I shall see you again; at least, I hope so, Miss Rigolette," said Jeanne Duport, after having cast her eyes on the address of the grisette.
Pardon me if surprise joy prevents me from thanking you as I ought." "And I, too, M. Germain, cannot find a word to say," added Rigolette. "Judge of my happiness: on leaving you, I found the friend of M. Rudolph waiting for me." "M. Rudolph again!" said the astonished Germain. "Yes; now I can tell you all.
