And with such a one as Adrian Urmand her side of the house will not be the least considerable. 'I suppose he is little better than a fool, said George. 'A fool! He is not a fool at all. If you were to see him buying, you would not call him a fool. He is very far from a fool. 'It may be so. I do not know much of him myself.
Madame Voss, indeed, seldom cared to walk very far from the door of her own house; and on Sundays to go to the church and back again was certainly sufficient exercise. Michel Voss said no word about Adrian Urmand as they were ascending the hill. He was too wise for that.
After supper Michel Voss and the young man Adrian Urmand by name lit their cigars and seated themselves on a bench outside the front door. 'Have you never said a word to her? said Michel. 'Well; a word; yes. 'But you have not asked her ; you know what I mean; asked her whether she could love you. 'Well, yes. I have said as much as that, but I have never got an answer.
'It is George, of course, replied the innkeeper. 'I did not know, said poor Adrian Urmand. 'She never spoke a dozen words to any other man in her life, and as for him, she has hardly seen him for the last eighteen months.
'I am come to say good-bye, said Urmand. 'Good-bye, Adrian, said Marie, putting both her hands in his, and offering her cheek to be kissed. 'I shall come back with such joy for the 15th, said he. She smiled, and kissed his cheek, and still held his hand. 'Adrian, she said. 'My love?
'What things do you mean? said Urmand. 'Well everything about Marie, you know. When I went over to Basle the other day, I didn't think how it was going to turn out. I didn't indeed. 'And how is it going to turn out? 'I can't make the young woman consent, you know, said the innkeeper.
But when George came up, he bowed a recognition with his head; as though he should have said, 'I see you; but I cannot say that you are welcome to Granpere. George stood for a moment or two, and then addressed his father. 'Adrian Urmand is here with you, is he not, father? 'He is in the house somewhere, said Michel, sullenly. 'May I speak to him?
I know it has been very unfortunate. But we didn't mean to be untrue. 'If you had only left me alone when I was at home? said the unfortunate young man, who was still sobbing bitterly. They two remained in the long room together for a considerable time, during all of which Michel Voss was as gentle as though Urmand had been a child.
But it had become almost manifest even to her, with the Cure to support her, that the star of Adrian Urmand was on the wane. She felt from every word that Marie spoke to her, that Marie herself was confident of success.
What if he should at least half choke the successful man, and make it well understood that the other half would come unless the successful man would consent to relinquish his bride? George, though he did not expect success for himself, was fully purposed that Urmand should not succeed without some interference from him, by means of choking or otherwise.
