But one question more, dearest.

I shall give an entertainment to-morrow.

Count Andreossy, Colonels Mariage and Schweitzer, Captain de Guesniard, and the two Counts von Poldring will be present, as well as Generals Berthier and Massena, and several men who are prominent in aristocratic Austrian society.

Will you not attend my reception?
Will you not come to-morrow ?" "No," he replied, "no, I cannot attend gay entertainments now.

My week of exile begins from this hour, and the first festival for me will be when I again clasp you in my arms.
