V
PATIENTS
I missed very much my Sunday dinners in
Faubourg St. Germain. About a fortnight
after my interview with the Abbé the Countess,
with her impulsive nature, had suddenly felt the
need of a change of air and decided to accompany
the Count to their château in Touraine. It came
as a surprise to us all, only the Abbé must have
had some inkling of it, for I noticed a merry
twinkling in his shrewd old eye the last Sunday I
dined there. The Countess was kind enough to
send me a weekly report to say how she was
getting on and I also heard now and then from
the Abbé. Everything was going on well. The
Count had his ride every morning, never slept
during the day and smoked much less. The
Countess had taken up her music again, occupied
herself diligently with the poor of the village and
never complained about her colitis. The Abbé
also gave me good news about the Marquise, whose
country-seat was a short hour’s drive from the
château. She was doing very well. Instead of
sitting in her arm-chair in mournful seclusion the
whole day, worrying about her deafness, she now
took a long walk twice a day in the garden for the
sake of her beloved Loulou who was getting too
fat and greatly in need of exercise.
