"How droll it is that parents grow down little, while their children grow up big!" Madame Ursule shook her head pitifully. But the girls really saw the droll side and laughed with my Cloud-Mother. Separated from me by an impassable barrier, she touched me more deeply than when I sued her most. The undulating ripple which was her peculiar expression of joy was more than I could bear.
As it was, if at one moment she was in a cloud-land of her own, or poring over the stories of the Iliad, the classic mythologies, or Tasso's Gerusalemme, the next would see her scouring the fields with Ursule and Hippolyte, playing practical jokes on the tutor, and extemporizing wild out-of-door games and dances with her village companions. Of serious religious education she received none at all.
"He would have married Madame de Ferrier, and restored her estate, if she had accepted him, and the marquis had not come back." "Saints have pity!" said Madame Ursule. "And the poor old man must make everybody and himself so uncomfortable!" "But how could he help living?" "True enough. God's times are not ours. But see what he has made of her!"
Madame Duplessis was charming in a red petticoat; Ursule, in a blue blouse and a big hat was a most comical fellow; Casimir, got up as a beggar, had some halfpence given him in all good faith; Stephane, whom I think you know, as a spruce peasant, made believe to have been drinking, stumbled against our sous-prèfet and accosted him he is a nice fellow, and was just going to depart when all of a sudden he recognized us.
"That is true," said Soeur Lucie reflecting; "I never heard that she had any money, and of course people cannot live for nothing." "She has not a sou you may depend upon it," said Soeur Ursule emphatically; "she brought nothing with her when she came." "Nothing!" cried Soeur Lucie. "Or so little, that it must all be gone by this time.
"Never studied geography, nor history, nor arithmetic!" cries Soeur Ursule, who superintended the school; "not know the principal cities in Europe, nor the kings of France, nor even your multiplication table!"
The prospect of its great wealth falling to pious uses they regarded as a special mark of divine providence and care for the house of Ste. Ursule. "Oh, Mere Esther! Mere Esther!" exclaimed the Lady Superior. "I feel too great a satisfaction in view of the rich dower of these two girls. I need much self-examination to weed out worldly thoughts. Alas! Alas!
His mother alone could alienate the property, and he doubted whether she would. But what he did not know, what came as a heavy blow to him, was that Ursule and Antoine, those young wolves, had claims on the estate. What! they would despoil him, rob him, the legitimate child!
The girl whom he could no longer call Ursule was evidently somewhere; nothing warned Marius in what direction he should seek her. His whole life was now summed up in two words; absolute uncertainty within an impenetrable fog. To see her once again; he still aspired to this, but he no longer expected it. To crown all, his poverty had returned. He felt that icy breath close to him, on his heels.
