"
Then
you
are
vexed
with
the
engagement
?
"
"
Yes
.
"
"
Well
,
listen
,
"
said
Valentine
,
throwing
herself
on
her
knees
,
and
putting
her
arm
round
her
grandfather
's
neck
,
"
I
am
vexed
,
too
,
for
I
do
not
love
M.
Franz
d'Epinay
.
"
An
expression
of
intense
joy
illumined
the
old
man
's
eyes
.
"
When
I
wished
to
retire
into
a
convent
,
you
remember
how
angry
you
were
with
me
?
"
A
tear
trembled
in
the
eye
of
the
invalid
.
"
Well
,
"
continued
Valentine
,
"
the
reason
of
my
proposing
it
was
that
I
might
escape
this
hateful
marriage
,
which
drives
me
to
despair
.
"
Noirtier
's
breathing
came
thick
and
short
.

"
Then
the
idea
of
this
marriage
really
grieves
you
too
?
Ah
,
if
you
could
but
help
me
--
if
we
could
both
together
defeat
their
plan
!
But
you
are
unable
to
oppose
them
--
you
,
whose
mind
is
so
quick
,
and
whose
will
is
so
firm
are
nevertheless
,
as
weak
and
unequal
to
the
contest
as
I
am
myself
.
Alas
,
you
,
who
would
have
been
such
a
powerful
protector
to
me
in
the
days
of
your
health
and
strength
,
can
now
only
sympathize
in
my
joys
and
sorrows
,
without
being
able
to
take
any
active
part
in
them
.
However
,
this
is
much
,
and
calls
for
gratitude
and
heaven
has
not
taken
away
all
my
blessings
when
it
leaves
me
your
sympathy
and
kindness
.
"
At
these
words
there
appeared
in
Noirtier
's
eye
an
expression
of
such
deep
meaning
that
the
young
girl
thought
she
could
read
these
words
there
:
"
You
are
mistaken
;
I
can
still
do
much
for
you
.
"
"
Do
you
think
you
can
help
me
,
dear
grandpapa
?
"
said
Valentine
.
"
Yes
.
"
Noirtier
raised
his
eyes
,
it
was
the
sign
agreed
on
between
him
and
Valentine
when
he
wanted
anything
.

"
What
is
it
you
want
,
dear
grandpapa
?
"
said
Valentine
,
and
she
endeavored
to
recall
to
mind
all
the
things
which
he
would
be
likely
to
need
;
and
as
the
ideas
presented
themselves
to
her
mind
,
she
repeated
them
aloud
,
then
--
finding
that
all
her
efforts
elicited
nothing
but
a
constant
"
No
,
"
--
she
said
,
"
Come
,
since
this
plan
does
not
answer
,
I
will
have
recourse
to
another
.
"
She
then
recited
all
the
letters
of
the
alphabet
from
A
down
to
N.
When
she
arrived
at
that
letter
the
paralytic
made
her
understand
that
she
had
spoken
the
initial
letter
of
the
thing
he
wanted
.
"
Ah
,
"
said
Valentine
,
"
the
thing
you
desire
begins
with
the
letter
N
;
it
is
with
N
that
we
have
to
do
,
then
.
Well
,
let
me
see
,
what
can
you
want
that
begins
with
N
?
Na
--
Ne
--
Ni
--
No
"
--
"
Yes
,
yes
,
yes
,
"
said
the
old
man
's
eye
.
