The delay in the arrival of the pair which had troubled Charles Mignon was caused by the painting of the Canalis arms on the panels of the carriage, and by certain orders given to a tailor; for the poet neglected none of the innumerable details which might, even the smallest of them, influence a young girl.
"It is all right," said Latournelle to Mignon on the sixth day.

"The baron's valet has hired Madame Amaury's villa at Sanvic, all furnished, for seven hundred francs; he has written to his master that he may start, and that all will be ready on his arrival.

So the two gentlemen will be here Sunday.

I have also had a letter from Butscha; here it is; it's not long: 'My dear master,--I cannot get back till Sunday.

Between now and then I have some very important inquiries to make which concern the happiness of a person in whom you take an interest.'" The announcement of this arrival did not rouse Modeste from her gloom; the sense of her fall and the bewilderment of her mind were still too great, and she was not nearly as much of a coquette as her father thought her to be.
