That evening, at about ten o'clock, when Clotilde went downstairs for a moment to give an order to Martine before she should have gone to bed, Pascal profited by the opportunity of being left alone, to go and lay the little box containing the lace corsage on the young girl's bed.
Then with a calm and resolute air, she went out after breakfast with Martine, after quietly putting into the basket of the latter a little package some articles of dress which she was giving her, she said.
