A quarter of an hour later you would not have found me.

Will you come in and rest a moment ?" "Thanks, Reine," said he, "I will not hinder you in your work.

But I wanted to say, I am sorry I got angry the other day; you were right, we must not leave each other with ill-feeling, and, as I am going away for a long time, I desire first to take your hand in friendship." "You are going away ?" "Yes; I am going now to Langres to enroll myself as a soldier.

And true it is, one knows when one goes away, but it is hard to know when one will come back.

That is why I wanted to say good-by to you, and make peace, so as not to go away with too great a load on my heart." All Reine's coldness melted away.
