M. de Kercadiou's urgent message no more than confirmed her own fears and inclinations. She decided upon instant departure.
"Bien, madame," said the youth. "Then I have the honour to take my leave."
But she would not let him go. First to the kitchen to refresh himself, whilst she and mademoiselle made ready, and then a seat for him in her carriage as far as Meudon. She could not suffer him to return on foot as he had come.
Though in all the circumstances it was no more than his due, yet the kindliness that in such a moment of agitation could take thought for another was presently to be rewarded.
