she managed to look sensual�察 �I don¨t know。 I think her lips and
eyes contrived the affair between them�察 �and the result left no
uncertainty on the beholder¨s mind。 She was sensual now�察�and in
ten years¨ time she would be coarse!promise plain was written in

her face of much future folly。
If I looked at these girls with little scruple�察 �they looked at me
with still less。 Eulalie raised her unmoved eye to mine�察 �and
seemed to expect�察�passively but securely�察�an impromptu tribute to
her majestic charms。 Hortense regarded me boldly�察�and giggled at
the same time�察�while she said�察�with an air of impudent freedom!
^Dictez´nous quelquechose de facile pour commencer�察�
monsieur。 ̄
Caroline shook her loose ringlets of abundant but somewhat
coarse hair over her rolling black eyes�察�parting her lips�察�as full as
those of a hot´blooded Maroon�察 �she showed her well´set teeth
sparkling between them�察 �and treated me at the same time to a
smile ^de sa facon。 ̄ Beautiful as Pauline Borghese�察�she looked at
the moment scarcely purer than Lucr┬ce de Borgia。 Caroline was
of noble family。 I heard her lady´mother¨s character afterwards�察�
and then I ceased to wonder at the precocious accomplishments of
the daughter。 These three�察�I at once saw�察�deemed themselves the
queens of the school�察�and conceived that by their splendour they
threw all the rest into the shade。 In less than five minutes they had
thus revealed to me their characters�察�and in less than five minutes
I had buckled on a breast´plate of steely indifference�察�and let down
a visor of impassible austerity。
^Take your pens and commence writing�察院�said I�察�in as dry and
trite a voice as if I had been addressing only Jules Vanderkelkov
and Co。
The dict└e now commenced。 My three belles interrupted me
perpetually with little silly questions and uncalled´for remarks�察�to
some of which I made no answer�察 �and to others replied very
quietly and briefly。 ^Comment dit´on point et virgule en Anglais�察�

Here a general murmur arose�察�and the teacher�察�opening her lips
for the first time�察�ejaculated!
^Silence�察�mesdemoiselles� 院�
No silence followed!on the contrary�察 �the three ladies in front
began to talk more loudly。

Some of those behind laughed�此�a degree of confusion began to
pervade the class�察�it was necessary to take prompt measures。
^Donnez´moi votre cahier�察院�said I to Eulalie in an abrupt tone�察�
and bending over�察�I took it before she had time to give it。
^Et vous�察 �mademoiselle´donnez´moi le votre�察院 �continued I�察�
more mildly�察�addressing a little pale�察�plain looking girl who sat in
the first row of the other division�察 �and whom I had remarked as
being at once the ugliest and the most attentive in the room�察�she
rose up�察�walked over to me�察�and delivered her book with a grave�察�
modest curtsey。 I glanced over the two dictations�察 �Eulalie¨s was
slurred�察�blotted�察�and full of silly mistakes!Sylvie¨s ��such was the
name of the ugly little girl�� was clearly written�察 �it contained no
error against sense�察 �and but few faults of orthography。 I coolly
read aloud both exercises�察 �marking the faults!then I looked at
Eulalie�此�

^C¨est honteux� 院�said I�察�and I deliberately tore her dictation in
four parts�察 �and presented her with the fragments。 I returned
Sylvie her book with a smile�察�saying!
^C¨est bien!je suis content de vous。 ̄
Sylvie looked calmly pleased�察�Eulalie swelled like an incensed
turkey�察 �but the mutiny was quelled�此 �the conceited coquetry and
futile flirtation of the first bench were exchanged for a taciturn
sullenness�察�much more convenient to me�察�and the rest of my lesson
passed without interruption。
A bell clanging out in the yard announced the moment for the
cessation of school labours。 I heard our own bell at the same time�察�
and that of a certain public college immediately after。 Order
dissolved instantly�察�up started every pupil�察�I hastened to seize my
hat�察 �bow to the maitresse�察 �and quit the room before the tide of
externats should pour from the inner class�察�where I knew near a
hundred were prisoned�察�and whose rising tumult I already heard。
I had scarcely crossed the hall and gained the corridor�察 �when
Mdlle Reuter came again upon me。
^Step in here a moment�察院�said she�察�and she held open the door
of the side room from whence she had issued on my arrival�察�it was
a salle´┐´manger�察 �as appeared from the beaufet and the armoire
vitr└e�察 �filled with glass and china�察 �which formed part of its
furniture。 Ere she had closed the door on me and herself�察 �the
corridor was already filled with day´pupils�察 �tearing down their
cloaks�察�bonnets�察�and cabas from the wooden pegs on which they
were suspended�察 �the shrill voice of a maitresse was heard at
intervals vainly endeavouring to enforce some sort of order�察�
vainly�察�I say�此�discipline there was none in these rough ranks�察�and
yet this was considered one of the best´conducted schools in

^Well�察�you have given your first lesson�察院�began Mdlle Reuter in
the most calm�察�equable voice�察�as though quite unconscious of the
chaos from which we were separated only by a single wall。
^Were you satisfied with your pupils�察 �or did any circumstance
in their conduct give you cause for complaint�拭 �Conceal nothing
from me�察�repose in me entire confidence。 ̄
Happily�察�I felt in myself complete power to manage my pupils
without aid�察�the enchantment�察�the golden haze which had dazzled
my perspicuity at first�察�had been a good deal dissipated。 I cannot
say I was chagrined or downcast by the contrast which the reality
of a pensionnat de demoiselles presented to my vague ideal of the
same community�察 �I was only enlightened and amused�察�
consequently�察�I felt in no disposition to complain to Mdlle Reuter�察�
and I received her considerate invitation to confidence with a
smile。
^A thousand thanks�察 �mademoiselle�察 �all
