choosing a cigar from a box�察 �my thoughts reverted to the two
outcast ushers�察 �whose voices I could hear even now crying
hoarsely for order in the playground。
^C¨est une grande responsabilite�察�que la surveillance�察院�observed
I。
^Plait´il�拭院�dit M。 Pelet。
I remarked that I thought Messieurs Vandam and Kint must
sometimes be a little fatigued with their labours。
^Des b┷tes de somme�察�des b┷tes de somme�察院 �murmured
scornfully the director。 Meantime I offered him his cup of coffee。
^Servez´vous mon garcon�察院 �said he blandly�察 �when I had put a
couple of huge lumps of continental sugar into his cup。 ^And now
tell me why you stayed so long at Mdlle Reuter¨s。 I know that
lessons conclude�察�in her establishment as in mine�察�at four o¨clock�察�
and when you returned it was past five。 ̄
^Mdlle wished to speak with me�察�monsieur。 ̄
^Indeed� �on what subject�拭�if one may ask。 ̄
^Mademoiselle talked about nothing�察�monsieur。 ̄
^A fertile topic� �and did she discourse thereon in the

schoolroom�察�before the pupils�拭院�
^No�察 �like you�察 �monsieur�察 �she asked me to walk into her
parlour。 ̄
^And Madame Reuter!the old duenna!my mother¨s gossip�察�
was there�察�of course�拭院�
^No�察 �monsieur�察 �I had the honour of being quite alone with
mademoiselle。 ̄
^C¨est joli!cela�察院�observed M。 Pelet�察�and he smiled and looked
into the fire。
^Honi soit qui mal y pense�察院�murmured I�察�significantly。
^Je connais un peu ma petite voisine!voyez´vous。 ̄
^In that case�察 �monsieur will be able to aid me in finding out
what was mademoiselle¨s reason for making me sit before her sofa
one mortal hour�察 �listening to the most copious and fluent
dissertation on the merest frivolities。 ̄
^She was sounding your character。 ̄
^I thought so�察�monsieur。 ̄
^Did she find out your weak point�拭院�
^What is my weak point�拭院�
^Why�察 �the sentimental。 Any woman sinking her shaft deep
enough�察�will at last reach a fathomless spring of sensibility in thy
breast�察�Crimsworth。 ̄
I felt the blood stir about my heart and rise warm to my cheek。
^Some women might�察�monsieur。 ̄
^Is Mdlle Reuter of the number�拭�Come�察�speak frankly�察�mon fils�察�
elle est encore jeune�察�plus ag└e que toi peut´┷tre�察�mais juste asset

my mother。 ̄
^She is then a little too old for you�拭院�
^No�察 �monsieur�察 �not a day too old if she suited me in other
things。 ̄
^In what does she not suit you�察 �William�拭 �She is personally
agreeable�察�is she not�拭院�
^Very�察�her hair and complexion are just what I admire�察�and her
turn of form�察�though quite Belgian�察�is full of grace。 ̄
^Bravo� �and her face�拭�her features�拭�How do you like them�拭院�
^A little harsh�察�especially her mouth。 ̄
^Ah�察�yes� �her mouth�察院�said M。 Pelet�察�and he chuckled inwardly。
^There is character about her mouth!firmness!but she has a
very pleasant smile�察�don¨t you think so�拭院�
^Rather crafty。 ̄
^True�察 �but that expression of craft is owing to her eyebrows�察�
have you remarked her eyebrows�拭院�
I answered that I had not。
^You have not seen her looking down then�拭院�said he。
^No。 ̄
^It is a treat�察�notwithstanding。 Observe her when she has some
knitting�察�or some other woman¨s work in hand�察�and sits the image
of peace�察 �calmly intent on her needles and her silk�察 �some
discussion meantime going on around her�察�in the course of which
peculiarities of character are being developed�察 �or important
interests canvassed�察�she takes no part in it�察�her humble�察�feminine
mind is wholly with her knitting�察 �none of her features move�察 �she
neither presumes to smile approval�察�nor frown disapprobation�察�her
little hands assiduously ply their unpretending task�察 �if she can
only get this purse finished�察 �or this bonnet´grec completed�察 �it is

enough for her。 If gentlemen approach her chair�察 �a deeper
quiescence�察�a meeker modesty settles on her features�察�and clothes
her general mien�察�observe then her eyebrows�察�et dites´moi s¨il n¨y a
pas du chat dans l¨un et du renard dans l¨autre。 ̄
^I will take careful notice the first opportunity�察院�said I。
^And then�察院 �continued M。 Pelet�察 �the eyelid will flicker�察 �the
light´coloured lashes be lifted a second�察�and a blue eye�察 �glancing
out from under the screen�察�will take its brief�察�sly�察�searching survey�察�
and retreat again。 ̄
I smiled�察 �and so did Pelet�察 �and after a few minutes¨ silence�察 �I
asked�此�
^Will she ever marry�察�do you think�拭院�
^Marry� �Will birds pair�拭�Of course it is both her intention and
resolution to marry when she finds a suitable match�察�and no one is
better aware than herself of the sort of impression she is capable
of producing�察�no one likes better to captivate in a quiet way。 I am
mistaken if she will not yet leave the print of her stealing steps on
thy heart�察�Crimsworth。 ̄
^Of her steps�拭 �Confound it�察 �no� �My heart is not a plank to be
walked on。 ̄
^But the soft touch of a patte de velours will do it no harm。 ̄
^She offers me no patte de velours�察�she is all form and reserve
with me。 ̄
^That to begin with�察�let respect be the foundation�察�affection the
first floor�察 �love the superstructure�察 �Mdlle Reuter is a skilful
architect。 ̄
^And interest�察 �M。 Pelet!interest。 Will not mademoiselle
consider that point �拭院�
^Yes�察�yes�察�no doubt�察�it will be the cement between every stone。

And now we have discussed the directress�察 �what of the pupils�拭�
N¨y´a´t´il pas de belles └tudes parmi ces jeunes t┷tes�拭院�
^Studies of character�拭�Yes�察�curious ones�察�at least�察�I imagine�察�but
one cannot divine much from a first interview。 ̄
^Ah�察�you affect discretion�察�but tell me now�察�were you not a little
abashed before these blooming young creatures�拭�
^At first�察 �yes�察�but I rallied and got through with all due sang´
froid。 ̄
^I don¨t believe you。 ̄
^It is true�察�notwithstanding。 At first I thought them angels�察�but
they did not leave me long under that delusion�察�three of the eldest
and handsomest undertook the task of setting me right�察�and they
managed so cleverly that in five minutes I knew them�察�at least�察�for
what they were!three arrant coquettes。 ̄
