"To thee, beloved Galtinardus, I owe all my happiness," said she, as she embraced me. "I am happy to have contributed to it, divine Semiramis, but you must remember I am only the agent of the genii." Thereupon the marchioness began to argue in the most sensible manner, but unfortunately the foundation of her argument was wholly chimerical.
I shall be called a bastard, and my income of twenty-four thousand francs will be lost to me. Think over it, dear Galtinardus. I must tell you that I feel already as if I were a man. I confess I am in love with the Undine, and I should like to know whether I shall be able to sleep with her in fourteen or fifteen years time. I shall be so if Oromasis will it, and then I shall be happy indeed.

"Dear Galtinardus, I beg you will consult the oracle to find out where I am to be brought to bed, and if you won't marry me I think I had better save all I have that I may have some provision when I am born again, for when I am born I shall know nothing, and money will be wanted to educate me. By selling the whole a large sum might be realized which could be put out at interest.

At this the marchioness arose and performed an expiatory sacrifice, and it appeared, on consulting the oracle, that Oromasis was satisfied. The old lady did not move my pity so much as my laughter. She solemnly embraced me and said, "To-morrow, Galtinardus, you will be my spouse and my father." When I got back to my room and had shut the door, I drew the Undine out of her place of concealment.

I opened it, found it was dated the same day, and contained the following: "My genius told me at day-break that Galtinardus was starting from Fontainebleau, and that he will come and dine with me to-day." She chanced to be right, but I have had many similar experiences in the course of my life-experiences which would have turned any other man's head.
