Ursula

CHAPTER XVII
4/26

He cannot see you working at your window without emotions which prove to him that his love will last through life.

This young man is gifted with an iron will and a spirit of perseverance which nothing can discourage.

Receive his addresses favorably, for his intentions are pure, and he humbly asks your hand with a sincere desire to make you happy.

His fortune, already suitable, is nothing to that which he will make for you when you are once his wife.

You shall be received at court as the wife of a minister and one of the first ladies in the land.
As he sees you every day (without your being able to see him) put a pot of La Bougival's pinks in your window and he will understand from that that he has your permission to present himself.
Ursula burned the letter and said nothing about it to Savinien.
