That kind master, who could not sleep now, was waiting with impatience for day. He would send for me in the morning; I should be gone. He would have me sought for: vainly. He would feel himself forsaken; his love rejected: he would suffer; perhaps grow desperate.
«Ce maître plein de bonté, et qui ne peut pas dormir, attend le jour avec impatience, me dis-je; demain matin il m'enverra demander, et je serai partie; il me fera chercher, et en vain; il se sentira abandonné, il verra que je repousse son amour, il souffrira et tombera peut-être dans le désespoir.»
