I shall do the same for my own dear Henri, and I know that you two will not be separated.

There is my hand," she added, thinking that he appeared to hesitate; "and now let us go down to our friends, who are expecting us." "Are you so soon weary of hearing the few words I wish to say to you ?" said Adolphe, who had taken her hand, and who seemed inclined to keep it.
"No, I am not weary.

I will hear anything you wish to say." And Agatha having withdrawn her hand, sat down, and again found herself in a position to take advantage of Marie's good advice.
Adolphe remained silent for a minute or two, with his head supported on his hand, and gazing on the lady of his love with a look that was intended to fascinate her.

Agatha sat perfectly still; she was evidently mindful of the lesson she had received: at last, Adolphe started up from his position, walked a step or two into the middle of the room, thrust his right hand into his bosom; and said abruptly, "Agatha, this is child's play; we are deceiving each other; we are deceiving ourselves; we would appear to be calm when there is no calm within us." "Do not say we.

I am not deceiving myself; I trust I am not deceiving you." "And is your heart really so tranquil ?" said he.
