"Ah, no joking, viscount, if you please; I do not patronizeM. Andrea -- at least, not as concerns M. Danglars."
"And you would be to blame for not assisting him, if theyoung man really needed your help in that quarter, but,happily for me, he can dispense with it."
"What, do you think he is paying his addresses?"
"I am certain of it; his languishing looks and modulatedtones when addressing Mademoiselle Danglars fully proclaimhis intentions. He aspires to the hand of the proudEugenie."
"What does that signify, so long as they favor your suit?"
"But it is not the case, my dear count: on the contrary. Iam repulsed on all sides."
"What!"
"It is so indeed; Mademoiselle Eugenie scarcely answers me,and Mademoiselle d'Armilly, her confidant, does not speak tome at all."

"He? Oh, no, he has plunged a thousand daggers into myheart, tragedy-weapons, I own, which instead of woundingsheathe their points in their own handles, but daggers whichhe nevertheless believed to be real and deadly."
"Jealousy indicates affection."
"True; but I am not jealous."
"He is."
"Of whom? -- of Debray?"
"No, of you."
"Of me? I will engage to say that before a week is past thedoor will be closed against me."
"You are mistaken, my dear viscount."
