Without heeding my politeness, he swore against fortune and against the favour I seemed to be shewing him. Finally he got up, and taking his hat and cane, went out, saying,—
“I will pay you when I come back.”
As soon as he had gone the girl said:
“I am sure you have been regarding me as your partner at play.”
“If you have guessed that, you will also have guessed that I think you charming.”
“Yes, I think I have.”
“Are you angry with me?”
“Not in the least.”
“You shall have the fifty guineas as soon as he has paid me.”
“Very good, but the baron must know nothing about it.”
