 83 11|          Prudence?" ~"She has not come yet, but I will send her
 84 11|           are you here?" ~"I have come to pay her a visit." ~"At
 85 11|           bed. ~"Now," said she, "come and sit down by me, and
 86 12|     To-night at the Vaudeville. ~"Come during the third entr'acte." ~
 87 12|            She did not tell me to come to see her during the day,
 88 12|      Marguerite beckoned to me to come to her. ~"Good-evening,"
 89 12|            it won't do for you to come and be pettish here because

 94 13|           you, I am certain. Now, come to the window with me, and
 95 13|        Marguerite called to us: ~"Come at once," she said; "they

 97 13|           hurts me dreadfully." ~"Come, let us reason it out,"
 98 13|             I said. ~"She has not come in." ~"I will go up and

100 14|         was told that you had not come in. M. de G. was more fortunate,
101 14|         to believe that she would come to see me herself; but hour
102 14|    followed hour, and she did not come. ~Decidedly Marguerite was
103 14|         theatre, or she feared to come across me, and so wished

108 15|         my door you would want to come up, and as I could not let
109 15|          why could you not let me come up?" ~"Because I am watched,
110 15|          from one another now." ~"Come, Marguerite, I am not going
111 15|           if I had, I should have come and asked your forgiveness
112 15|       speak freely. All those who come about women like me have
113 15|     carriage from time to time or come to our box at the theatre.
114 15|          we shall have supper." ~"Come," said Marguerite, "there
115 16|         Champs-Elysees. She would come in tired, take a light supper,
116 16|         frequently, begging me to come. To these letters I replied

128 19|           asking for me. "Let him come in," I said. ~"Sir," said
129 19|           said, "Fear nothing." ~"Come back as soon as possible,"
130 20|          and said: ~"When did you come, father?" ~"Last night." ~"
131 20|            Last night." ~"Did you come straight here, as usual?" ~"
132 20|        that you have forgotten to come and see your sister and
133 20| Marguerite. ~"Then, the moment is come when you must live otherwise." ~"
134 20|        means; but that you should come to forget the most sacred
135 20|           lover of this woman." ~"Come, Armand, open your eyes.
136 20|        any more such absurdities. Come, leave this woman; your
137 20|          your youth. Leave Paris. Come and stay for a month or
138 20|          that I have done well to come and seek you out, and you
139 20|         you will thank me for it. Come, you will go with me, Armand,
140 20|       sixty thousand francs which come to you from your mother,
141 20|       sacrifice anything for you? Come, enough of this. You will
142 20|           things and get ready to come with me." ~"Pardon me, father,"
143 20|          I said, "but I shall not come." ~"And why?" ~"Because
144 21|     Chapter 21 ~"At last you have come," she said, throwing her
145 21|         and perhaps you will both come to a better understanding.
146 21|           If I am not in by four, come and dine with me to-morrow.
147 21|        you go?" ~"Yes; and I will come back as soon as I can." ~"
148 21|        soon as I can." ~"You will come back?" she said, looking
149 21|   Naturally." ~"Oh, yes, you will come back to-night. I shall wait
150 21|        and asked her if she would come with me as far as the train;
151 21|           her early, promising to come again on the morrow. ~The
152 22|    Prudence, or perhaps she would come even now, for she must know
153 22|        that only a disaster could come at that hour and under that
154 22|         asked if her mistress had come in. ~"No; but if she comes
155 22|           back, or if she doesn't come it will be time enough in
156 22|          him if Mlle. Gautier had come home during the day. ~"Yes,"

158 23|     myself upon her, I could have come to her aid, I should perhaps
159 23|          She said, 'He is sure to come here,' and she begged me
160 24|         sure that an answer would come, and I resolved not to go
161 24|         her hand to me, adding: ~"Come and see her; it will make
162 24|       knows where I live; let her come to see me, but, for my part,
163 24|           I am sure that she will come." ~"Let her come." ~"Shall
164 24|         she will come." ~"Let her come." ~"Shall you be out to-day?" ~"
165 24|       wished to see me and I have come." ~And letting her head
166 24|             The last time she had come to see me she had sat in
167 24|         for she went on: ~"I have come to trouble you, Armand,

169 24|           that, Armand; I did not come to speak of that. I wanted
170 24|        the day or night you will, come, and I will be yours; but
171 25|         me; that is, if, when you come back, you will still trouble

174 26|      creditors have returned, and come to me with their bills with
175 26|          Paris, Armand? You would come and see me, and your visits
176 26|         from you, but it does not come, and no doubt it will never
