"To be always with you—that is my dearest wish; but sometimes——"
"Your work—yes, I understand. But try to be always at liberty in the morning and evening. Isn't it enough to work all day?"
"And if anyone should send word to you to go to a strange house, never consent."
"Don't be afraid; I will remember the little restaurant. I wish you could have seen that man's face when he saw that I had escaped him. Oh! it would have made you laugh. Mon Dieu! it must be awfully late; we have been talking a long while."
"It seems to me as if it had been only a minute."
"Oh! don't think that it's a bore to me! far from it; but my aunt will want to know where I have been so late. Do you know what time it is, Monsieur Paul?"
"I haven't any watch, mademoiselle."
"Nor I; but we can look into the watchmaker's as we pass. Almost eleven, do you see? And I had so much more to say to you!"
"And so had I!"
"It must wait till to-morrow. Here I am at my door; adieu! till to-morrow!"
