This
was
Madame
Perrodon
,
a
native
of
Berne
,
whose
care
and
good
nature
now
in
part
supplied
to
me
the
loss
of
my
mother
,
whom
I
do
not
even
remember
,
so
early
I
lost
her
.
She
made
a
third
at
our
little
dinner
party
.
There
was
a
fourth
,
Mademoiselle
De
Lafontaine
,
a
lady
such
as
you
term
,
I
believe
,
a
"
finishing
governess
.
"
She
spoke
French
and
German
,
Madame
Perrodon
French
and
broken
English
,
to
which
my
father
and
I
added
English
,
which
,
partly
to
prevent
its
becoming
a
lost
language
among
us
,
and
partly
from
patriotic
motives
,
we
spoke
every
day
.
The
consequence
was
a
Babel
,
at
which
strangers
used
to
laugh
,
and
which
I
shall
make
no
attempt
to
reproduce
in
this
narrative
.
And
there
were
two
or
three
young
lady
friends
besides
,
pretty
nearly
of
my
own
age
,
who
were
occasional
visitors
,
for
longer
or
shorter
terms
;
and
these
visits
I
sometimes
returned
.
These
were
our
regular
social
resources
;
but
of
course
there
were
chance
visits
from
"
neighbors
"
of
only
five
or
six
leagues
distance
.
My
life
was
,
notwithstanding
,
rather
a
solitary
one
,
I
can
assure
you
.
My
gouvernantes
had
just
so
much
control
over
me
as
you
might
conjecture
such
sage
persons
would
have
in
the
case
of
a
rather
spoiled
girl
,
whose
only
parent
allowed
her
pretty
nearly
her
own
way
in
everything
.
The
first
occurrence
in
my
existence
,
which
produced
a
terrible
impression
upon
my
mind
,
which
,
in
fact
,
never
has
been
effaced
,
was
one
of
the
very
earliest
incidents
of
my
life
which
I
can
recollect
.
Some
people
will
think
it
so
trifling
that
it
should
not
be
recorded
here
.
You
will
see
,
however
,
by-and-by
,
why
I
mention
it
.
The
nursery
,
as
it
was
called
,
though
I
had
it
all
to
myself
,
was
a
large
room
in
the
upper
story
of
the
castle
,
with
a
steep
oak
roof
.
I
ca
n't
have
been
more
than
six
years
old
,
when
one
night
I
awoke
,
and
looking
round
the
room
from
my
bed
,
failed
to
see
the
nursery
maid
.
Neither
was
my
nurse
there
;
and
I
thought
myself
alone
.
I
was
not
frightened
,
for
I
was
one
of
those
happy
children
who
are
studiously
kept
in
ignorance
of
ghost
stories
,
of
fairy
tales
,
and
of
all
such
lore
as
makes
us
cover
up
our
heads
when
the
door
cracks
suddenly
,
or
the
flicker
of
an
expiring
candle
makes
the
shadow
of
a
bedpost
dance
upon
the
wall
,
nearer
to
our
faces
.
I
was
vexed
and
insulted
at
finding
myself
,
as
I
conceived
,
neglected
,
and
I
began
to
whimper
,
preparatory
to
a
hearty
bout
of
roaring
;
when
to
my
surprise
,
I
saw
a
solemn
,
but
very
pretty
face
looking
at
me
from
the
side
of
the
bed
.
It
was
that
of
a
young
lady
who
was
kneeling
,
with
her
hands
under
the
coverlet
.
I
looked
at
her
with
a
kind
of
pleased
wonder
,
and
ceased
whimpering
.
She
caressed
me
with
her
hands
,
and
lay
down
beside
me
on
the
bed
,
and
drew
me
towards
her
,
smiling
;
I
felt
immediately
delightfully
soothed
,
and
fell
asleep
again
.
I
was
wakened
by
a
sensation
as
if
two
needles
ran
into
my
breast
very
deep
at
the
same
moment
,
and
I
cried
loudly
.
The
lady
started
back
,
with
her
eyes
fixed
on
me
,
and
then
slipped
down
upon
the
floor
,
and
,
as
I
thought
,
hid
herself
under
the
bed
.
I
was
now
for
the
first
time
frightened
,
and
I
yelled
with
all
my
might
and
main
.
Nurse
,
nursery
maid
,
housekeeper
,
all
came
running
in
,
and
hearing
my
story
,
they
made
light
of
it
,
soothing
me
all
they
could
meanwhile
.
But
,
child
as
I
was
,
I
could
perceive
that
their
faces
were
pale
with
an
unwonted
look
of
anxiety
,
and
I
saw
them
look
under
the
bed
,
and
about
the
room
,
and
peep
under
tables
and
pluck
open
cupboards
;
and
the
housekeeper
whispered
to
the
nurse
:
"
Lay
your
hand
along
that
hollow
in
the
bed
;
someone
did
lie
there
,
so
sure
as
you
did
not
;
the
place
is
still
warm
.
"
I
remember
the
nursery
maid
petting
me
,
and
all
three
examining
my
chest
,
where
I
told
them
I
felt
the
puncture
,
and
pronouncing
that
there
was
no
sign
visible
that
any
such
thing
had
happened
to
me
.
The
housekeeper
and
the
two
other
servants
who
were
in
charge
of
the
nursery
,
remained
sitting
up
all
night
;
and
from
that
time
a
servant
always
sat
up
in
the
nursery
until
I
was
about
fourteen
.
