de Guiche's attentions to Madame do not concern me ?" "No, monseigneur; and what I say to you I would say to De Guiche himself, so little do I think of the attentions he pays Madame.

Nay, I would say it even to Madame herself.

Only you understand what I am afraid of--I am afraid of being thought jealous of the favor shown, when I am only jealous as far as friendship is concerned.

I know your disposition; I know that when you bestow your affections you become exclusively attached.

You love Madame--and who, indeed, would _not_ love her?
Follow me attentively as I proceed:--Madame has noticed among your friends the handsomest and most fascinating of them all; she will begin to influence you on his behalf in such a way that you will neglect the others.
