'Hein All differences, I say,' resumed M. de Véron with unruffled calm and decision, 'between myself and the chevalier are arranged ŕ l'aimable_; and the contract of marriage will be ready, for your and Mademoiselle de Mérode's signature, on Monday next at two precisely Mine and Mademoiselle de Mérode's!'— Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, No. 447 Volume 18, New Series, July 24, 1852
I wondered what the chevalier could be saying in that low voice of his to move her so deeply.— The Rose of Old St. Louis
He had also told her very plainly that he had suspected the chevalier of just such an attempt at her capture as he had made, and for that reason had been so unwilling that she should go to Chouteau's Pond Mademoiselle had listened, and had asked him many questions, and had at last said that she could not doubt the truth of her guardian, but she thought it possible the chevalier was honest also, and misjudged Dr. Saugrain because he did not know him.— The Rose of Old St. Louis
I would scorn to be an eavesdropper under ordinary circumstances, but a chance word caught my ear, and when I found the chevalier was not pleading a lover's cause, but maligning my friend Dr. Saugrain to the maiden he loves as his own daughter, I felt it my duty to listen.— The Rose of Old St. Louis
But you have used some harsh expressions concerning the chevalier, and I think it is possible you wrong him, even as he wronged my guardian.— The Rose of Old St. Louis
