Christine gave a cry and put out her arms, but the scarf was already far on the waves.

Then she heard a voice say: "It's all right, I'll go and fetch your scarf out of the sea." And she saw a little boy running fast, in spite of the outcries and the indignant protests of a worthy lady in black.

The little boy ran into the sea, dressed as he was, and brought her back her scarf.

Boy and scarf were both soaked through.

The lady in black made a great fuss, but Christine laughed merrily and kissed the little boy, who was none other than the Vicomte Raoul de Chagny, staying at Lannion with his aunt.
During the season, they saw each other and played together almost every day.
