Charles, where Madame Gabrieli, the famous singer, nicknamed la Coghetta, lived. As soon as the Florentine was gone, I went to St. Paul's in hot haste, for I longed to see what reception I should have from the two vestals I had initiated so well. When they appeared I noticed a great change. Emilie had become gay, while Armelline looked sad.
When we got to the inn Armelline changed my jealous rage into pity; her eyes swam with tears, which Scholastica's home truths had drawn forth. The supper was ready, so they had no time to change their dress. I was sad enough, but I could not bear to see Armelline sad also. I resolved to do my best to drive away her melancholy, even though I suspected that it arose from love of the Florentine.
If the beloved object is not very tender, love grows desperate and turns to indifference or contempt. I neither wish to grow desperate nor to despise Armelline, who is a miracle of beauty and goodness. I shall do my utmost for her, just as if she had made me happy, but I will see her no more." "I am in complete darkness on the matter.
They did not interrupt this examination which I carried up to the knee, and I told Emilie that all the reward I would ask for my services was that I might see her thighs, to compare them with Armelline's. "She will be bigger than I," said Armelline, "though I am the taller." "Well, there would be no harm in letting me see." "I think there would." "Well, I will feel with my hands."
"Very good, I will take a hundred, but you must open them here." Armelline was horrified to think that I was going to pay five crowns for her whim, and begged me to revoke the order; but she said nothing when I told her that no pleasure of hers could be bought too dearly by me.
"Our consent!" said Emilie: "we should be ungrateful indeed if we refused you anything after all you have done for us." "And you, Armelline, will you withstand my love?" "No; so long as it keeps within due bounds. No more blind man's buff!" "And it is such a nice game! You really grieve me." "Well, invent another game," said Emilie.
Armelline played her part with such evident relish that I could see she enjoyed it as well as I, though she agreed it was a very innocent amusement. It so chanced that a fine oyster slipped from its shell as I was placing it between Emilie's lips.
This was a great annoyance for me; recluses, young or old, were continually passing by, and none of them failed to give a glance in the direction of the grate; thus my fair Armelline could not stretch out her hand to receive my amorous kisses.
When we came down to the parlour, the princess told Armelline that she meant to ask leave of the cardinal to take her two or three times to the theatre before Lent began. This observation seemed to petrify everyone except the superioress, who said that his eminence had now a perfect right to relax any or all of the rules of the establishment.
"You will come too? that will be a delightful party indeed." "Ask for leave, and we will arrange the day." This plan seemed to me a delicious dream. I guessed that the gallant cardinal was curious to see Armelline, but I was not afraid as I knew he was a constant lover. Besides I felt sure that if he took an interest in the fair recluse he would be certain to find her a husband.
