He was very insistent that I should spend the whole evening with him and not go till the morning; but Marguerite had not been well when I left her. I told him of it, and begged his permission to go back to her early, promising to come again on the morrow.
Il insista beaucoup pour me faire passer la soirée entière avec lui, et pour que je ne repartisse que le lendemain; mais j'avais laissé Marguerite souffrante, je le lui dis, et je lui demandai la permission d'aller la retrouver de bonne heure, lui promettant de revenir le lendemain.
