“No; I know that you are behaving as well as possible.”
“You know it?”
“I have never doubted it. Your bouquets have shown me, moreover, what a grateful heart you have.”
“Oh! can I ever forget what you did for me?”
“Haven’t you made any acquaintances on this street?”
“No, monsieur; I don’t want to make any.”
“Aren’t you bored, being all alone?”
“How can I be bored? I always have something to think about?”
“What do you do in the evening?”
“I read, and I am learning to write.”
