While I was wondering about it, I noticed Armand's cheeks flush, but this I set down to teething, for he is cutting four large teeth at once. So I put him to bed beside me, and kept constantly waking through the night. He was a little feverish, but not enough to make me uneasy, my mind being still full of the teething.
In one moment she had snapped the bonds which held firm only for her lover. She had read Armand's intention in his face, and held that the moment had come for teaching the Imperial soldier his lesson. He was to be made to feel that though duchesses may lend themselves to love, they do not give themselves, and that the conquest of one of them would prove a harder matter than the conquest of Europe.
You say you are not Armand's wife that, I am only too glad to believe; I am delighted. You say I have always known it that, of course, is a mistake. You say I am playing a part, now that, I don't understand." "Premier artiste, surely," she laughed. Then, suddenly, grew sober. "By all means, let us have a frank talk," she said.
"The Scarlet Pimpernel cares for all his followers; he would never allow me to run unnecessary risks." She was unconvinced, almost jealous now of his enthusiasm for that unknown man. Already she had taken full possession of Armand; she had purchased his life, and he had given her his love. She would share neither treasure with that nameless leader who held Armand's allegiance.

Armand tried to raise her. "Madame, it is too late! Antoinette cannot save the Duchesse de Langeais. I cannot believe in either. Today you may give yourself; tomorrow, you may refuse.
And God alone knew what terrible consequences its triumph now might bring in its trial, and striking on Armand's buzzing ears Chauvelin's words came back as a triumphant and mocking echo: "He'll be a dead man at dawn if I do not put in an appearance by six o'clock."
Always there was the serpent with dripping fangs, sometimes with Armand's head, sometimes with a face unknown to me, but hideous beyond description; its slimy body glittered with inlay and arabesque; its scaly legs were curved like those of the Boule cabinet; sometimes the golden sun glittered on its forehead like a great eye.
Charles passed for a deep thinker in his own set, which was a very different set from Armand's not among workmen but small shopkeepers.
Her words came out all the while in short jerky sentences, and from time to time she stole swift shy glances at Armand's sister. "You will forgive me, mademoiselle," said Marguerite, whose simple and calm manner quickly tended to soothe Jeanne Lange's confusion; "but I was so anxious about my brother I do not know where to find him."
