My plan was immediately settled.

I told the child that I would go to see her in the evening, and I sent her away with fresh thanks.
I placed the wallflower in the open window, where a ray of sunshine bid it welcome; the birds were singing around, the sky had cleared up, and the day, which began so loweringly, had become bright.

I sang as I moved about my room, and, having hastily put on my hat and coat, I went out.
Three o'clock .-- All is settled with my neighbor, the chimney-doctor; he will repair my old stove, and answers for its being as good as new.
At five o'clock we are to set out, and put it up in Paulette's grandmother's room.
Midnight .-- All has gone off well.

At the hour agreed upon, I was at the old bandbox-maker's; she was still out.

My Piedmontese [In Paris a chimney-sweeper is named "Piedmontese" or "Savoyard," as they usually come from that country.] fixed the stove, while I arranged a dozen logs in the great fireplace, taken from my winter stock.
