To return: the Dauphin gave, me his papers to putin my pockets, and kept mine. He locked up some in his cupboard, andinstead of locking up the others in his bureau, kept them out, and begantalking to me, his back to the chimney, his papers in one hand, his keysin the other. I was standing at the bureau looking for some otherpapers, when on a sudden the door in front of me opened, and the Dauphineentered! The first appearance of all three--for, thank God! she was alone--theastonishment, the coun...tenance of all have never left my memory. Ourfixed eyes, our statue-like immobility, and our embarrassment were allalike, and lasted longer than a slow Pater-poster. The Princess spokefirst. She said to the Prince in a very ill-assured voice, that she hadnot imagined him in such good company; smiling upon him and upon me. Ihad scarce time to smile also and to lower my eyes, before the Dauphinreplied. "Since you find me so, " said he, smiling in turn, "leave me so.
