Far from it! We will marry later on, as soon as it is possible and suitable.

Of course, there is no need for hurry.

Meanwhile, we will resume our pleasant habits of the Rue des Martyrs.

You remember, Felicie; we were so happy there! The bed wasn't wide, but we used to say: "That doesn't matter." I have now two fine rooms in the Rue de la Montagne-Saint-Genevieve, behind Saint-Etienne-du-Mont.

Your portrait hangs on every wall.
