Charles nevertheless was very crestfallen before Emma, who did not hide the resentment she still felt at his want of confidence, and it needed many prayers before she would consent to have another power of attorney. He even accompanied her to Monsieur Guillaumin to have a second one, just like the other, drawn up.
Charles n’en resta pas moins fort penaud vis-à-vis d’Emma, celle- ci ne cachant point la rancune qu’elle lui gardait pour avoir manqué de confiance; il fallut bien des prières avant qu’elle consentît à reprendre sa procuration, et même il l’accompagna chez M. Guillaumin pour lui en faire faire une seconde, toute pareille.
