"And will yours keep you altogether away from Clisson?"
"Very nearly so; at any rate, I could not name the day or the week, when
I might be with you. You and Marie will be all in all to each other now;
do not let her droop and grow sad, Victorine."
"Nay, Charles, it is she should comfort me; she loves no dear husband.
Marie dotes on you; but she can never feel for a brother, as I must feel
for you."
"She is younger than you, Victorine, and has not your strength of mind."
"She has fewer cares to trouble her; but we will help each other; it
will be much to me to have her with me in your absence. I know she is
giving up much in returning to Clisson, and she does it solely for my
sake."
"How! what is she giving up? Will she not be better in her own home than
elsewhere in such times as these."
"She might choose to change her home, Charles; I had a happy, happy
home, but I should not have been contented to remain there till now. I
found that something more than my own old home was necessary to my
happiness.
