And
as
it
was
already
day
,
he
thought
it
right
not
to
fall
asleep
again
,
and
he
continued
following
up
the
line
of
thought
in
which
his
mind
was
engaged
when
he
awoke
.
Ah
!
if
Rosa
had
only
conversed
about
the
tulip
,
Cornelius
would
have
preferred
her
to
Queen
Semiramis
,
to
Queen
Cleopatra
,
to
Queen
Elizabeth
,
to
Queen
Anne
of
Austria
;
that
is
to
say
,
to
the
greatest
or
most
beautiful
queens
whom
the
world
has
seen
.
But
Rosa
had
forbidden
it
under
pain
of
not
returning
;
Rosa
had
forbidden
the
least
mention
of
the
tulip
for
three
days
.
That
meant
seventy-two
hours
given
to
the
lover
to
be
sure
;
but
it
was
seventy-two
hours
stolen
from
the
horticulturist
.
There
was
one
consolation
:
of
the
seventy-two
hours
during
which
Rosa
would
not
allow
the
tulip
to
be
mentioned
,
thirty-six
had
passed
already
;
and
the
remaining
thirty-six
would
pass
quickly
enough
:
eighteen
with
waiting
for
the
evening
's
interview
,
and
eighteen
with
rejoicing
in
its
remembrance
.
Rosa
came
at
the
same
hour
,
and
Cornelius
submitted
most
heroically
to
the
pangs
which
the
compulsory
silence
concerning
the
tulip
gave
him
.
His
fair
visitor
,
however
,
was
well
aware
that
,
to
command
on
the
one
point
,
people
must
yield
on
another
;
she
therefore
no
longer
drew
back
her
hands
from
the
grating
,
and
even
allowed
Cornelius
tenderly
to
kiss
her
beautiful
golden
tresses
.
Poor
girl
!
she
had
no
idea
that
these
playful
little
lovers
'
tricks
were
much
more
dangerous
than
speaking
of
the
tulip
was
;
but
she
became
aware
of
the
fact
as
she
returned
with
a
beating
heart
,
with
glowing
cheeks
,
dry
lips
,
and
moist
eyes
.
And
on
the
following
evening
,
after
the
first
exchange
of
salutations
,
she
retired
a
step
,
looking
at
him
with
a
glance
,
the
expression
of
which
would
have
rejoiced
his
heart
could
he
but
have
seen
it
.
"
Well
,
"
she
said
,
"
she
is
up
.
"
