"Come, ma belle cousine," for so Louis delighted to call her. "Hector and I are waiting for you to go with us to the 'Beaver Meadow. The cattle have strayed, and we think we shall find them there. The day is delicious, the very flowers look as if they wanted to be admired and plucked, and we shall find early strawberries on the old Indian clearing."
He then kissed the hand of his belle cousine, whom, of course, he knew already, and bowed almost to the ground on being presented to Mademoiselle Woodford, a little less low to Monsieur Archfield, who was glad the embracing was not to be repeated, politely received Mr. Fellowes, and honoured the domestic abbe with a kindly word and nod.
Every one, no doubt, wishes to know what became of the heroine of a story only too veracious in its details; a chronicle which, taken with its twin sister the preceding volume, La Cousine Bette, proves that Character is a great social force. You, O amateurs, connoisseurs, and dealers, will guess at once that Pons' collection is now in question.
He smiled once or twice, when his relation, Madame de Balzac, broke out into sarcasms against the Jesuits, which had nothing to do with the subjects in question. "Ah, ma chere cousine," said he: "you flatter me by showing that you like me not as the politician, but the private relation, not as the Bishop of Frejus, but as Andre de Fleuri." Madame de Balzac smiled, and answered by a compliment.

This was the cleverness, he supposed; the brilliancy was beginning. "Yes, the natural affections are very strong," he murmured. "In some people," the Baroness declared. "Not in all." Charlotte was walking beside her; she took hold of her hand again, smiling always. "And you, cousine, where did you get that enchanting complexion?" she went on; "such lilies and roses?"
"Indulge me a little; I feel like talking, and I promise not to be disagreeable. Always wear white; it becomes you. Never forget that beauty needs appropriate surroundings.

I can't stand his 'Theatre' that's footle but the big things 'Le Pere Goriot, 'La Cousine Bette, 'Cesar Birotteau' what a great book 'Cesar Birotteau' is! "You're right," said Colonel Winwood, forgetful of any possible barriers between himself and the young enthusiast. "It's one of the four or five great books, and very few people recognize it." "'Le Lys dans la Vallee," said Paul.
Just as I had made up my mind that what had to be done could be done, die or no die, Amelie came running across the street to say: "Did you ever see such luck? Here is the old cart horse of Cousine Georges and the wagon!" Cousine Georges had fled, it seems, since we left, and her horse had been left at Esbly to fetch the schoolmistress and her husband. So we all climbed in.
