He seemed puzzled about my dress"-- for Marie had already put on the simple attire which had been prepared for her--"but I told him that it was fit for a sick-room, and he seemed satisfied.

He has just dozed off to sleep, and I will go in and sit with him now till he wakes." "When he does, mademoiselle, I will have some broth and a glass of good burgundy ready for him," Elise said.
"Thank you; but please call me Marie in future.

There are no mesdemoiselles in France now, and I shall call you Elise instead of Madame.

And Harry, would you mind telling the girls that I will meet them to-morrow instead of this evening.

I long to see them, oh so, so much; but I should not like to leave him for a moment now.
I fear so that his memory might go again if he were to wake and miss me." "I was going to propose it myself, Marie," Harry said.
