"I love you too well to share your regard with any one, upon any terms; least of all upon these, that there is to be a man in the world at whose beck and call you are to be, and at whose orders you are to break off an interview with me.
Perdition!" "Dear Edouard, what folly! Can you suspect me of discourtesy, as well as of--I know not what.

Colonel Dujardin will join us, that is all, and we shall take a little walk with him." "Not I.I decline the intrusion; you are engaged with me, and I have things to say to you that are not fit for that puppy to hear.

So choose between me and him, and choose forever." Rose colored.

"I should be very sorry to choose either of you forever; but for this afternoon I choose you." "Oh, thank you--my whole life shall prove my gratitude for this preference." Rose beckoned Jacintha, and sent her with an excuse to Colonel Dujardin.
She then turned with an air of mock submission to Edouard.

"I am at monsieur's ORDERS." Then this unhappy novice, being naturally good-natured, thanked her again and again for her condescension in setting his heart at rest.
