gained dr de Riessain's house, where he found
pulling the bell, the same Octavius, whom h
hoped 10 have lost in the town. Both smilinglJ
| exchanged silent bow, and asked for Mr.. d'
Itlessaln. They were Introduced into draw
ing-room, where Mr, de RIessain wasnOt long in
coming to find them. He received Henry
| almost ke a stranger, and begging him 10 eH
cuse him, he carried or Oetaylus into his study
A quarter OF an hour passed, during which
! Henry, after having looked az all the pictures
after having counted the number OF steps thai
/ could be taken IN the parlor, in length as wei!
/ as I'll breadth, began TO fnd himself at los
Ior new means Of passing the time Mr.. dc Rios
ssin entered, and cordially elSsplng his hand
said 20 him:
AT last, here we are together, my dear
Henry, and here we are alone. You Travelled
with that hair Drained Octavius, and did not
tell him your name. You did right.
II did not tell him my name, bat without
knowing that was doing right What ln-
( portsnce can that have:
Why, great deal, since nd is looking for
you.
-RealIy9
And he oaIy came here % ask me where you
lived.
But then. my dear Monsieur De Rlessaln,
why not have told him..
He is locking for y0u 10 cut your throat.
An the more reason; he would have no
doubt told me why, which otherwise It win be
impossible for me 60 guess.
You viii have no need 10 gness It, Octavius
has fully enabled me to acQuaint you with u.
He saw my daughter this winter IN l do not
know what house where my crazy sister had
taken her. Hethinks he isin love He learned
from my mouth on his first overture, that you
were destined for each other, and naturally he
wanted TO kill you. What is most curious
10 this, is that Ootavius d'Hervilly, who t-av-
eled with you-who came here with you-pre-
tends TO know you, and to have provoked you
before several persons, on a preteXt, says he
discreetly ,whlen can IN nowise com promise My
daughter; he adds that you were reconciled,
but that this time the affair will go through 10
the end.--Why, how cried Henry Mon
seur de Riessain, you have let him 90, without
giving me the opportunity 70 Convict him OF a
mean, o0ious feisehood You have made me
lose tnis occasion OF reaping with certainty
from him and his impsrtneBcs, legitimate re-
venge !--Legitmsts It is Impossible but as
TO certainty, that Is another thing. I have
done better-I have avenged yOu-I have prom
ised 10 be favorable TO him Ia his wooiug- mean
to second him with my daughter, and even cen
sent 10 their uuion.--PaidOnm me, Monsieur de
RiesSain, said Henry; am | dreaming, by
chance or haveI become crazy? Since have put
my feet IN your house, have absolutely un.
serstOod nothing that I have seen or that
have heard. Ny meeting with This Mr.. Octa-
vius, whom ! could not get rid or, has rather,
In fact, tue appearance Of nightmare than OF
an ordinary meeting. - There Is nothing
In Il, however. but what Ia very simple, NV
dear Henry but must frst OF all make you
wi h a somewhat singular cores
pohdence thar / heve intercepted. - Bnt
sir, / cannot, meanwhile, leave unpuuishad
- Ociavias d'HeryiIly? Itsli
yeu I take IL on myEeIL .--- Bat your manner
Of avrnging me is more than strange. and ] I
am in the habit OF doing things OF this sort
myself. - WHi yea giant me quarter OF an !
hour2 - vi lingly. - Well, seat yourself !
