You had better not leave that clever creature time for reflection. As for me, I am already putting the irons in the fire." And Maxime left Couture at the summit of happiness, saying to La Palferine, "Shall I drive you home, my boy?" By eleven o'clock Aurelie was alone with Couture, Fabien, and Rochefide. Arthur was asleep on a sofa.
During their walk Madame de Rochefide had the lightly jesting tone of a woman who loves, together with a certain tenderness and abandonment of manner. Calyste had reason to think himself beloved.
"You must talk to me, you know," said Mme. de Beauseant. "Ah! look! There is Mme. de Nucingen in the third box from ours. Her sister and M. de Trailles are on the other side." The Vicomtesse glanced as she spoke at the box where Mlle. de Rochefide should have been; M. d'Ajuda was not there, and Mme. de Beauseant's face lighted up in a marvelous way.
But, Calyste, do not be unwise, imprudent; try to love only noble women, if love you must." What young man full of abounding but restrained life and emotion would not have had the glorious idea of going to Croisic to see Madame de Rochefide land, and examine her incognito? Calyste greatly surprised his father and mother by going off in the morning without waiting for the mid-day breakfast.
Her rivals Suzanne Gaillard, who, in 1838, had won the advantage over her of becoming a wife married in legitimate marriage, Fanny Beaupre, Mariette, Antonia spread calumnies that were more than droll about the beauty of those young men and the complacent good-nature with which Monsieur de Rochefide welcomed them.
You are worthy of being an archbishop, and I hope I shall not die till I have had the opportunity of calling you Your Eminence." "I see only one difficulty in all this," said the abbe. "What is that?" "Suppose Madame de Rochefide chooses to keep your son-in-law after she goes back to her husband?" "That's my affair," replied the duchess; "when one doesn't often intrigue, one does so "
Madame de Rochefide, like nearly all great ladies who break their chain, had left her fortune to her husband when she fled from him; she could not beg from her tyrant. Conti and Mademoiselle des Touches had spared Beatrix all the petty worries of material life, and her mother had frequently send her considerable sums of money.
In the three years since Calyste had seen her, Madame de Rochefide was amazingly changed; and yet, although the transformation had seriously affected her as a woman, she was only the more poetic and the more attractive to Calyste.
What should induce M. d'Ajuda to take one of the noblest names in Portugal to the Rochefides? The Rochefides were only ennobled yesterday." "But Bertha will have two hundred thousand livres a year, they say." "M. d'Ajuda is too wealthy to marry for money." "But, my dear, Mlle. de Rochefide is a charming girl." "Indeed?"
Beatrix has contrived to persuade that serious Breton that she has never loved any one but him; that she is virtuous; that Conti was merely a sentimental head-love in which neither the heart nor the rest of it had any part, a musical love, in short! As for Rochefide, that was duty.
