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�

    ^Mais�察�monsieur!je ne sais pas suivre!vous allez si vite。 ̄ 

    ^Je n¨ai rien compris�察�moi� 院�

    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。 

    ^C¨est si difficile�察�l¨Anglais� 院�

    ^Je d└teste la dict└e。 ̄ 

    ^Quel ennui d¨└crire quelquechose que l¨on ne comprend pas� 院�

    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

Brussels。 

    ^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
