At
the
entrance
to
the
drawing-room
,
two
children
,
one
in
pink
,
the
other
in
blue
,
handed
bouquets
to
the
ladies
.
The
rooms
were
already
well
filled
.
The
majority
of
the
ladies
were
in
street
costumes
,
a
proof
that
they
came
thither
as
they
would
go
to
any
exhibition
.
The
few
who
intended
to
remain
to
the
ball
which
was
to
follow
wore
evening
dress
.
Mme.
Walter
,
surrounded
by
friends
,
stood
in
the
second
salon
and
received
the
visitors
.
Many
did
not
know
her
,
and
walked
through
the
rooms
as
if
in
a
museum
--
without
paying
any
heed
to
the
host
and
hostess
.

When
Virginie
perceived
Du
Roy
,
she
grew
livid
and
made
a
movement
toward
him
;
then
she
paused
and
waited
for
him
to
advance
.
He
bowed
ceremoniously
,
while
Madeleine
greeted
her
effusively
.
Georges
left
his
wife
near
Mme.
Walter
and
mingled
with
the
guests
.
Five
drawing
-
rooms
opened
one
into
the
other
;
they
were
carpeted
with
rich
,
oriental
rugs
,
and
upon
their
walls
hung
paintings
by
the
old
masters
.
As
he
made
his
way
through
the
throng
,
some
one
seized
his
arm
,
and
a
fresh
,
youthful
voice
whispered
in
his
ear
:
"
Ah
,
here
you
are
at
last
,
naughty
Bel-Ami
!
Why
do
we
never
see
you
any
more
?
"
It
was
Suzanne
Walter
,
with
her
azure
eyes
and
wealth
of
golden
hair
.
He
was
delighted
to
see
her
,
and
apologized
as
they
shook
hands
.
"
I
have
been
so
busy
for
two
months
that
I
have
been
nowhere
.
"
She
replied
gravely
:
"
That
is
too
bad
.
You
have
grieved
us
deeply
,
for
mamma
and
I
adore
you
.
As
for
myself
,
I
can
not
do
without
you
.
If
you
are
not
here
,
I
am
bored
to
death
.
You
see
I
tell
you
so
frankly
,
that
you
will
not
remain
away
like
that
any
more
.
Give
me
your
arm
;
I
will
show
you
'
Christ
Walking
on
the
Water
'
myself
;
it
is
at
the
very
end
,
behind
the
conservatory
.
Papa
put
it
back
there
so
that
everyone
would
be
obliged
to
go
through
the
rooms
.
It
is
astonishing
how
proud
papa
is
of
this
house
.

As
they
walked
through
the
rooms
,
all
turned
to
look
at
that
handsome
man
and
that
bewitching
girl
.
A
well-known
painter
said
:
"
There
is
a
fine
couple
.
"
Georges
thought
:
"
If
my
position
had
been
made
,
I
would
have
married
her
.
Why
did
I
never
think
of
it
?
How
could
I
have
taken
the
other
one
?
What
folly
!
One
always
acts
too
hastily
--
one
never
reflects
sufficiently
.
"
And
longing
,
bitter
longing
possessed
him
,
corrupting
all
his
pleasure
,
rendering
life
odious
.
Suzanne
said
:
"
You
must
come
often
,
Bel-Ami
;
we
can
do
anything
we
like
now
papa
is
rich
.
"
