And I will whisper to you that not long since, I loved a terrible fellow who made me very unhappy; you will reprove me and close my mouth, and we will agree never to speak of such things." When Brigitte spoke thus, I experienced a feeling that resembled avarice; I caught her in my arms and cried: "O God! I know not whether it is with joy or with fear that I tremble.
The clock struck again; it was time to go; when they passed out they seemed as joyful as when they entered. "What a beautiful sun!" said the young man. "And a beautiful day," said Brigitte, "the memory of which shall never fade." They hastened away and disappeared in the crowd. Some time later a carriage passed over a little hill behind Fontainebleau.
She looked at me with surprise, doubtless wondering if I was not joking. I told her that, at dinner, she had appeared so anxious to go that I had felt justified in sending for the horses and that I went out for that purpose when I left the table. "Are you serious?" asked Brigitte; "do you wish to set out to-night?" "Why not," I replied, "since we have agreed that we ought to leave Paris?"

"What a deputy Minard would make!" cried Zelie, naively. "He practises speechifying at home. You'll help us to get him elected, won't you, Thuillier?" "We won't talk politics now," replied Thuillier. "Come at five." "Will that little Vinet be there?" asked Minard; "he comes, no doubt, for Celeste." "Then he may go into mourning," replied Thuillier. "Brigitte won't hear of him."
How did such a fine lady, for she has good manners and a very distinguished air, no one denies her that, how came she to fall in love with Brigitte; who, between ourselves, keeps a sickening odor of the porter's lodge about her. For my part, I think this devoted friend is an intriguing creature, who scents money, and is scheming for some future gain."
There were the same words, the same woman, the same caresses; and that which, fifteen days before would have intoxicated me with love and happiness, repeated thus, filled me with horror. "Brigitte," I suddenly inquired, "what secret are you concealing from me? If you love me, what horrible comedy is this you are enacting before me?" "I!" said she, almost offended.
In any other condition of mind la Peyrade would probably have answered that he accepted the sacrifice, and would make it his business to win the heart which at first was reluctantly given; but delay now suited him, and he replied to Brigitte with a question: "Then what do you advise? What course had I better take?"
If you have no costumes we can make them, and pass away the time agreeably." We searched in the closet for dresses, cloaks, and artificial flowers; Brigitte, as usual, was patient and cheerful. We both arranged a sort of travesty; she wished to dress my hair herself; we painted and powdered ourselves freely; all that we lacked was found in an old chest that had belonged, I believe, to the aunt.
What didst thou suffer in seeing me turn pale before thee, in seeing my arms fall as though lifeless at my side! When the kiss died on my lips, and the full glance of love, that pure ray of God's light, fled from my eyes like an arrow turned by the wind! Ah! Brigitte! what diamonds trickled from thin eyes! What treasures of charity didst thou exhaust with patient hand! How pitiful thy love!
