say such sIngs-to speak 20 me in Eat
way at all! He would never have done
so of you or lie pasteur, and if it is true
Eat he is only an acquaintance, and Eat
after re scandal Eat has been made of
his kindness to silly little girl, it is not
likely zat | shall ever see him again
still, oh, quel difference, between you
and NJ. Rouselle! You are re brozzer of
NJ. lie pasteur, but brozzers are not al
ways alike, and to me you too are only
an acqvaintance-an acquaintance who
talks compliments to me in way | do
not like, when l am alone, and does not
see me if he is viz people of fashion"
Miss Richard! Bebe"
Pardon, but it is true; and, monsieur,
| beg you do not call me 'Bebe'; it is a
liberty l do not permit" She forgot
that GARNER called her so more than
once, but the tone had been different
it had not seemed liberty from him!
Also, if it is an offense against etiquette
for me TO be seen viz NJ ROuselle on re
racecourse, and at re fete. where all
around are re people | know and Eat
know me, it is much worse to be seen
here, so far from my home, and in zese
lanes, viz you. | have asked You to leave
me, already"
you ask what is impossible!" he in
terrupted, while you speak to me in
that way
"Confuund the iEsolent little minx!"
were the words in his mind; but even
in his rage at her undisguised dislike and
contempt for him, he could not overlook
| two facts which seemed still to leave him
an opening with her. What she had
said-and her candor was so transparent
that there was no doubling her-con
WINGED him that she was still in ignorance
of what he knew about her; and also
that for the time at any rate, for some
purpose of his own, GARNER had left the
field and abandoned his conquest.
Every word you say" he continued
virtuously, Shows me how basely you
have been deceived and therefore if you
are unjust to your truest friends it is
| 'Rouselle' just now. Did he tell you
! that that was his name? If so he lied
/ to YOU as only BLACKBOARD bent on
running girl and escaping detection and
punishment would lie. and as my broth

tell you. Come! Are your eyes begin
ming to open now? Do You see how you
| have been deceived how much worse
your fate might have been but for the
merciful Providence which told me where
to send that old woman to seek for you
That in her excitement she should have
made the scene she did has annoyed me
beyond words. | almost Quarreled with
my brother for having repeated what
had told him in strict confidence, and be
cause | was too wretched about you to
keep silent, If any harm has come to
your name it is his doing, not mine
and | can undo it. Yes. | know things
! look very black against you now, and
there's an ugly story likely to get about
which will grow uglier, as these things
do, if it's not contradicted | can put
you in the right, force that old duenna
of yours to eat humble pie, make my
brother show himself your chief sup
porter, and keep the whole matter from
your guardians ears. HowY That's my
secret, but | can do it; and Bebe-let
me call you so once-I will do it, if YOU
ask me. Say, Do it for me, and let
me come to you to say 1t is done May
may / come to the Rue Caumont this
evening to tell You that the cloud has
rolled away? What are you afraid Of
that pair of nuns in the distance? Nay,
won't 60 till you've answered me.
