After some hesitation, during which he allowed the reins to hang so loose that the horse lapsed into a walk, he touched her gently on the shoulder.
'Well, Hortense,' said he, in a very pleasant tone, 'what's the matter; have you fallen asleep?'
Hortense slowly opened her eyes, and, seeing that they had left the town behind them, raised her veil. Her features were stiffened with horror.
'Read that,' said she, holding out the open letter.
The gentleman took it, and pretended to read it again.
'Ah! M. Bernier returns. Delightful!' he exclaimed.
'How, delightful?' asked Hortense; 'we mustn't jest at so serious a crisis, my friend.'
'True,' said the other, 'it will be a solemn meeting. Two years of absence is a great deal.'
'O Heaven! I shall never dare to face him,' cried Hortense, bursting into tears.
Covering her face with one hand, she put out the other toward that of her friend. But he was plunged in so deep a reverie, that he did not perceive the movement.
