I have almost forgotten to say that, in the early days of my life at Les Rochers, M. de la Tourelle, in contemptuous indulgent pity at my weakness in disliking the dreary grandeur of the salon, wrote up to the milliner in Paris from whom my corbeille de mariage had come, to desire her to look out for me a maid of middle age, experienced in the toilette, and with so much refinement that she might on occasion serve as companion to me.
But I'm more sorry for the pain I must have sometimes put you to.

I little thought I should ever love one sprung from that class. She turned to him tenderly.
"I have reasons for disliking that man, and I do not wish the annoyance of his acquaintance."

"Well," said she, "I have seen these people; I have called upon them, as you all know; and, as I said, I have seen them."
