At all events, he needed no second invitation to seat himself by her side in the chimney corner, and his heart thumped as it had never thumped before when she encouraged him to put his arm round her waist and kiss her.

succeeded in reaching her dwelling--or, I might say, her shanty, for by a more appropriate term than the latter such a queer-looking untidy habitation could not be described. To his astonishment Mère Maxim was by no means so unprepossessing as he had imagined. On the contrary, she was more than passably good-looking, with black hair, rosy cheeks, and exceedingly white teeth.
