nearly with Mr。 Hunsden¨s�察�and she only contradicted him out of 

opposition。 At last she gave in�察�confessing that she thought  as   he 

thought�察  �but   bidding   him   take   notice   that   she   did   not   consider 

herself beaten。 

    ^No more did the French at Waterloo�察院�said Hunsden。 

    ^There is no comparison between the cases�察院�rejoined Frances�察�

^mine was a sham fight。 ̄ 

    ^Sham or real�察�it¨s up with you。 ̄ 

    ^No�察�though I have neither logic nor wealth of  words�察  �yet  in   a 

case where my opinion really differed from yours�察�I would adhere 

to it when I had not another word to say in its defence�察�you should 

be   baffled   by  dumb   determination。   You   speak   of   Waterloo�察  �your 

Wellington      ought    to  have   been   conquered      there�察  �according    to 

Napoleon�察�but he persevered in spite of the laws of war�察�and was 

victorious in defiance of military tactics。 I would do as he did。 ̄ 

    ^I¨ll be bound for it you would�察�probably you have some of the 

same sort of stubborn stuff in you。 

    ^I should be sorry if I had not�察�he and Tell were brothers�察�and 

I¨d   scorn   the  Swiss�察  �man   or  woman�察 �who  had none  of  the   much´ 

enduring nature of our heroic William in his soul。 ̄ 

    ^If Tell was like Wellington�察�he was an ass。 ̄ 

    ^Does not ass mean baudet�拭院�asked Frances�察�turning to me。 

    ^No�察   �no�察院  �replied   I�察  �it  means    an  esprit´fort�察   �and   now�察院   �I 

continued�察     �as  I  saw  that   fresh   occasion    of  strife  was   brewing 

between these two�察 �it is high time to go。 ̄ 

   Hunsden rose。 ^Good bye�察院�said he to Frances�察 �I shall be off for 

this glorious England to´morrow�察�and it may be twelve months or 

more before I come to Brussels again�察�whenever I do come I¨ll seek 

you out�察�and you shall see if I don¨t find means to make you fiercer 

than    a   dragon。   You¨ve   done    pretty   well  this  evening�察   �but   next 

interview      you   shall   challenge    me    outright。    Meantime      you¨re 

doomed       to  become    Mrs。   William    Crimsworth�察     �I  suppose�察   �poor 

young lady�拭�but you have a spark of spirit�察�cherish it�察�and give the 

Professor the full benefit thereof。 ̄ 

    ^Are you married�察�Mr。 Hunsden�拭院�asked Frances�察�suddenly。

    ^No。   I   should   have   thought   you   might   have   guessed   I   was   a 

Benedict by my look。 ̄ 

    ^Well�察    �whenever       you    marry      don¨t    take    a   wife    out    of 

Switzerland�察  �for   if   you   begin   blaspheming   Helvetia�察  �and   cursing 

the   cantons!above   all�察  �if  you  mention   the   word  ass  in   the   same 

breath     with   the   name    Tell   ��for  ass is  baudet�察    �I  know�察   �though 

Monsieur is pleased to translate it esprit´fort�� your mountain maid 

will some night smother her Breton´bretonnant�察�even as your own 

Shakspeare¨s Othello smothered Desdemona。 ̄ 

    ^I am warned�察院�said Hunsden�察 �and so are you�察�lad�察院。�nodding 

to me��。 ^I hope yet to hear of a travesty of the Moor and his gentle 

lady�察  �in   which   the   parts   shall   be   reversed   according   to   the   plan 

just   sketched!you�察       �however�察     �being   in   my   nightcap。     Farewell�察�

mademoiselle� 院�He bowed on her hand�察�absolutely like Sir Charles 

Grandison   on   that   of   Harriet   Byron�察  �adding!^Death   from   such 

fingers would not be without charms。 ̄ 

    ^Mon   Dieu� 院  �murmured   Frances�察  �opening   her   large   eyes   and 

lifting     her    distinctly    arched      brows�察     �c¨est    qu¨il    fait   des 

compliments� �je ne m¨y suis pas attendu。 ̄ She smiled�察�half in ire�察�

half in mirth�察�curtsied with foreign grace�察�and so they parted。 

    No sooner had we got into the street than Hunsden collared me。 

    ^And that is your lace´mender�拭院�said he�察 �and you reckon you 

have   done   a   fine�察  �magnanimous   thing   in   offering   to   marry   her�拭�

You�察    �a  scion   of  Seacombe�察     �have   proved     your   disdain    of  social 

distinctions by taking up with an ouvri┬re� �And I pitied the fellow�察�

thinking his feelings had misled him�察�and that he had hurt himself 

by contracting a low match� 院�

    ^Just let go my collar�察�Hunsden。 ̄ 

    ^On the contrary�察�he swayed me to and fro�察�so I grappled   him

round   the   waist。   It   was   dark�察  �the   street   lonely   and   lampless。   We 

had     then   a   tug   for  it�察 �and   after   we    had   both    rolled    on   the 

pavement�察  �and   with   difficulty   picked   ourselves   up�察  �we   agreed   to 

walk on more soberly。 

    ^Yes�察�that¨s my lace´mender�察院�said I�察 �and she is to be mine for 

life!God willing。 ̄ 

    ^God   is   not  willing!you   can¨t   suppose   it�察  �what   business   have 

you to be suited so well with a partner�拭�And she treats you with a 

sort of respect�察�too�察�and says�察 �Monsieur¨ and modulates her tone in 

addressing  you�察  �actually�察  �as   if  you  were   something superior�  �She 

could   not   evince   more   deference   to   such   a       one   as  I�察  �were  she 

favoured   by   fortune   to   the   supreme   extent   of   being   my   choice 

instead of yours。 ̄ 

    ^Hunsden�察�you¨re a puppy。 But you¨ve only seen the title´page 

of my happiness�察�you don¨t know the tale that follows�察�you cannot 

conceive the interest and sweet variety and thrilling excitement of 

the narrative。 ̄ 

    Hunsden!speaking   low   and   deep�察  �for   we   had   now   entered   a 

busier   street!desired   me          to   hold   my   peace�察  �threatening   to   do 

something dreadful if I stimulated his wrath further by boasting。 I 

laughed till my sides ached。 We soon reached his hotel�察�before he 

entered it�察�he said! 

    ^Don¨t  be   vainglorious。   Your   lace´mender   is   too   good   for   you�察�

but not good enough for  me�察�neither  physically  nor  morally  does 

she come up to my ideal of a woman。 No�察�I dream of something far 

beyond   that   pale´faced�察  �excitable   little   Helvetian   ��by´the´by   she 

has infinitely more of the nervous�察�mobile Parisienne in her than 

of   the   the   robust    `jungfrau¨��。     Your    Mdlle    Henri     is  in  person

my visions。 You�察�indeed�察�may put up with that minois chiffon└�察�but 

when      I  marry     I   must    have    straighter      and    more     harmonious 

features�察  �to   say   nothing   of   a   nobler   and   better   developed   shape 

than that perverse�察�ill´thriven child can boast。 ̄ 

    ^Bribe a seraph to fetch you a coal   of  fire  from   heaven�察�if  you 

will�察院  �said   I�察   �and   with   it   kindle   life   in   the   tallest�察  �fattest�察  �most
