These noisy, boisterous good spirits were not characteristic of a lover. Even innocent Cydalise knew that to be in love was to be miserable. From this time mother and sister tormented their victim with the merits and charms of his predestined bride.
That thief had on such pearls this evening! you would sell your soul for them." Cydalise, Montes, and Madame Nourrisson got into a hackney coach that was waiting at the door.
The dignity of the insulted woman redeemed the scantiness of her attire; she walked close up to the Brazilian, and looked at him so defiantly that her eyes glittered like knives. "So that," said she, standing face to face with the Baron, and pointing to Cydalise "that is the other side of your fidelity? You, who have made me promises that might convert a disbeliever in love!
"Your arm is not a match for your name, my child," said Jenny Cadine, to whom Carabine had introduced this masterpiece of sixteen, having brought her with her. And, in fact, Cydalise displayed to public admiration a fine pair of arms, smooth and satiny, but red with healthy young blood. "What do you want for her?" said Jenny Cadine, in an undertone to Carabine. "A fortune."
When they were gone, the mother and sister sat by one of the open windows, waiting for them. Without all was still. Distant lights glimmered through the summer twilight, the lighted windows of Cotenoir. "How pleased Madelon will be," said Cydalise, looking towards those glimmering windows.
"But the two estates! together they would make you a great proprietor. You would not surely refuse such fortune?" Cydalise gave a little scream of horror. "Cotenoir! to refuse Cotenoir! Ah, surely that would be impossible! But figure to yourself, then, Gustave " "Nay, Cydalise, you forget the young lady goes with the chateau; a fixture that we cannot dispense with."
A man who means to be avenged, and who says he has the ways and means of a savage, doesn't do that. If you want to see your 'object' in her paradise, you must take Cydalise and walk straight in with her on your arm, as if the servant had made a mistake. But no scandal! If you mean to be revenged, you must eat the leek, seem to be in despair, and allow her to bully you.
"Yes, mother; and the pistol is so fully loaded, that my only fear is that it will burst," said Carabine. About an hour later, Montes, Cydalise, and Carabine, returning from the Rocher de Cancale, entered Carabine's little sitting-room in the Rue Saint-Georges. Madame Nourrisson was sitting in an armchair by the fire. "Here is my worthy old aunt," said Carabine.
