When she reached the column that concealed me, an electrical current doubtless warned her of my presence, for she shuddered as if struck by an unseen arrow, and quickly turned her head; a stray sunbeam lit up her face, and I recognised in Irene de Chateaudun, Louise Guérin; in the rich heiress, the screen-painter of Pont de l'Arche! Irene and Louise were the same person!
When she saw me a faint blush brightened her pallor like a drop of crimson in a cup of milk; she was charming, and so distinguished-looking that, putting aside the pencils, the vase of flowers, the colors and the glass of clear water beside her, I should never have dreamt that a simple screen-painter sat before me.
Edgar de Meilhan, landed proprietor, having made an attack upon Madame Louise Guérin, screen-painter, &c." for I felt the strongest desire to strangle the object of my devotion, and I think I should have done so had I remained ten minutes longer. Admire, dear Roger, the wisdom of my conduct, and endeavor to imitate it.
This is not at all probable, however, for Madame Taverneau would not compromise her respectability so far as to act as chaperon to the loves of Louise Guérin. After all, what is it to me? I am very good to trouble myself about the freaks of a prudish screen-painter!

Ixion of Normandy, my Juno is a screen-painter, I open my arms and clasp only a cloud!
