And your husband, she said,
gpt
He is delighted, as we all are.
human
I am going to ask you a single question: does he expect to be present at our wedding?
gpt
That will be just as you like.
human
Listen, good little mother, and don't grieve in advance. I know very well that sooner or later, this marriage must be the means of bringing us all together; but let me have a little time to become accustomed to the idea. Grant me a few months so that the old Julia may be forgotten, and I may forget her myself--you will; say, won't you?
gpt
Anything you please,
human
I beg of you. Tell him that I beg of him, too.
gpt
I'll tell him; but do you know that Pierre is here?
human
Ah! _mon Dieu!_ and where did you leave him?
gpt
I left him in the garden.
human
In the garden! how imprudent, mother! why, the ladies are going to tear him to pieces--like Orpheus, for you may well believe that he is not in the odor of sanctity here.
