"Oh, your little path where you walked alone and that you liked because the sky was at the end of it! I see it as if I were there." It was at the Joinville castle that he had seen her for the first time, and had at once loved her.

It was there, one night, that he had told her of his love, to which she had listened, dumb, with a pained expression on her mouth and a vague look in her eyes.

A little girl carrying violets saw that they were lovers, and offered flowers to them.
