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
^ch└tive ̄�察�in mind ^sans caract┬re ̄�察�compared with the queen of

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
boneless�察 �fullest´blooded of Ruben¨s painted women!leave me
only my Alpine peri�察�and I¨ll not envy you。 ̄
With a simultaneous movement�察 �each turned his back on the
other。 Neither said ^God bless you�察院 �yet on the morrow the sea
was to roll between us。
