Do you ever remember then that there is such a person as Juliette ?" "How unjust you are!" replied Noel.

"Do you not know that I am always thinking of you; have I not proved it to you a thousand times?
Look here! I am going to prove it to you again this very instant." He withdrew from his pocket the small packet he had taken out of his bureau drawer, and, undoing it, showed her a handsome velvet casket.

"Here," said he exultingly, "is the bracelet you longed for so much a week ago at Beaugrau's." Madame Juliette, without rising, held out her hand to take the casket, and, opening it with the utmost indifference, just glanced at the jewel, and merely said, "Ah!" "Is this the one you wanted ?" asked Noel.
"Yes, but it looked much prettier in the shop window." She closed the casket, and threw it carelessly on to a small table near her.
"I am unfortunate this evening," said the advocate, much mortified.
"How so ?" "I see plainly the bracelet does not please you." "Oh, but it does.

I think it lovely.
