There was a time when he thought himself desperately in love; an unpardonable weakness in such a distinguished man; but he was not long in undeceiving himself, and he has not fallen into such a fatal error since." The night having come, Gilbert, who had inquiries to make, crossed the yard of which the chapel formed one side, and gaining the rear by a private door, went in search of Father Alexis.
Balls, riding, wine-parties, and billiards pass to a poor boy for something fine and romantic, which they are not; and a free admission to them on an equal footing, if it were possible, only once or twice, would be worth ten times its cost, by undeceiving him.
I tell you, Madeline, I understand your feelings when you say that you hate Lucian Davlin," shuddering. "And you would not hate me also for rudely undeceiving you?" "Hate my best friend; my benefactor? No!" "I am thankful!" "But, Madeline, what does all this mean? Is this what you wanted to say to me? What can my feelings have to do with your case?"
The young girl, as we have hinted, was by no means incapable of dissimulation, but she naturally revolted against having to support such a rôle as this, and would have even run the risk of precipitating what might have been a catastrophe by undeceiving him. But Richard bade her have patience.
