Would to Heaven that I could express to you my gratitude by actions! but words, alas! are all that I have in my power and where shall I find words that can reach your heart? I had better be silent, and trust to time and to you. I know your generous temper you will soon blame yourself for having judged too severely of Emilie.
At this idea the old admiral moderated his horse's pace so as to follow his niece without making any noise. He had played too many pranks in the years 1771 and soon after, a time of our history when gallantry was held in honor, not to guess at once that by the merest chance Emilie had met the Unknown of the Sceaux gardens.
She was, indeed, too much accustomed to talk of her faults, and was a great deal too easy about them. "My dear," Emilie would say after her confessions, "I do not believe you see how sinful these things are, or surely you would not so very, very, often commit them."
After this first kiss, which I took as a pledge of certain victory, she wiped away her tears; and soon after Emilie reappeared, accompanied by the superioress, who treated me with great cordiality. "I want you to do as much for Armelline's new friend as you have done for Emilie," said she.
It appeared that Madame Denis had a weakness for Athenais, for instead of talking as she did when Emilie was singing, she listened from one end to the other to the romance of her favorite, her eyes tenderly fixed on the Abbe Brigaud, who, still eating and drinking, contented himself with nodding his head in sign of approbation.
"EMILIE FAIT DE L'ALGEBRE," sneers he once, in an inadvertent moment, to some Lady-friend: "Emilie doing? "Off on this side?" Madame flies mad, becomes Megaera, at the mention or suspicion of it! A jealous, high-tempered Algebraic Lady.
I would not see Armelline's horror, who could not bear me to take a fancy to Emilie. Emilie said that she would be more at liberty when she was married, while Armelline, vexed at her giving me any hopes, told her sharply that a married woman had stricter duties to perform than a girl.
Emilie slipped another shilling into her hand as they went away, and said "You will find a use for it." "Good night Jenny, and thank you," said poor Edith, with a sigh, for she had already looked forward to many joyful meetings with Muff her newly-found treasure.
M. DE VOLTAIRE HAS, IN 1745, MADE WAY AT COURT. Divine Emilie picked up her Voltaire from that fine Diplomatic course, and went home with him out of our sight, in the end of 1743; the Diplomatic career gradually declaring itself barred to him thenceforth.
"But, my dear, he may be a doctor and yet have been to the Ecole Polytechnique is it not so, monsieur?" "There is nothing to prevent it, madame," replied the young man. Every eye was on Emilie, who was gazing with uneasy curiosity at the fascinating stranger.
