I was mortified then in my old black Lyons silk; but have I not bought since then my beautiful Greek jacket, scarlet and gold lace? and why should I buy it if I am not to show it?" "But, dear Madre, the jacket is certainly very handsome, and will make an effect in a little dinner at the Savarins or Mrs. Morley's; but in a great formal reception like M. Louvier's will it not look "
I suppose she receives chiefly persons in the literary or artistic world, and if they are all as respectable as the Savarins, I do not think ill-nature itself could find fault with her social circle." "Ah! you know the Cicogna, I presume. I am sure I did not wish to say anything that could offend her best friends, only I do think it is a pity she is not married, poor girl!"
Graham felt conscious that he had already stayed too long, and took leave. They knew that they were to meet that evening at the Savarins'. To Graham that thought was not one of unmixed pleasure; the more he knew of Isaura, the more he felt self-reproach that he had allowed himself to know her at all.
She would follow the Rue Turbigo and retrace her steps a dozen times in order to pass again and again before the almond cakes, the savarins, the St. Honore tarts, the fruit tarts, and the various dishes containing bunlike babas redolent of rum, eclairs combining the finger biscuit with chocolate, and choux a la crème, little rounds of pastry overflowing with whipped white of egg.
I was in our little garden at the time. Our conversation was brief, and soon interrupted by visitors, the Savarins and M. Rameau. I long for your answer. I wonder how he impressed you, if you have met him; how he would impress, if you met him now. To me he is so different from all others; and I scarcely know why his words ring in my ears, and his image rests in my thoughts.
I begin now to comprehend your disdain of customs which impose chains so idly galling on the liberty of our sex. We dined with the Savarins last evening: what a joyous nature he has!
"They were not prosaic; and they were kind and very wise," she added, with her exquisite laugh, laugh so wonderfully sweet and musical. She now had gained the entrance of the arbour; Graham joined her, and they walked towards the house. He asked her if she had seen much of the Savarins since they had met. "Once or twice we have been there of an evening."
Since the evening spent at the Savarins', Graham had seen no more of Isaura.
But whatever might have been his reply was arrested; voices and footsteps were heard behind. He turned round and saw the Venosta, the Savarins, and Gustave Rameau. Isaura heard and saw also, started in a sort of alarmed confusion, and then instinctively retreated towards the arbour.
On the same day in which Graham dined with the Savarins, M. Louvier assembled round his table the elite of the young Parisians who constituted the oligarchy of fashion, to meet whom he had invited his new friend the Marquis de Rochebriant.
