How fast you go, mademoiselle!

Ah! is it you, Monsieur Paul? You almost frightened me; you see--I am--I am not used to seeing you now, and I thought you were not here.

I have been here since morning; I hoped you would come out for a minute, but I had to wait until now. Ah! the day has seemed terribly long to me.

Really, monsieur; but for the last eleven days I have been expecting to see you in your place. Every morning I came early, so as to have time to talk a little with you; but, no, monsieur was never here. I was foolish enough even to ask leave to go out during the day, thinking that you would be there, but I took all those steps for nothing. Of course, I was a great fool to think of--a person who wasn't thinking of me. When one is thinking of anybody, he doesn't let eleven days go by without a word.
