Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Writings of Alfred De Musset, Vol. 5 Mathilde (alone, sewing). One more stitch and I shall have finished. (She rings; a servant enters). Has any one arrived from Janisset's? Servant. No, madame, not yet. Math. This is provoking; hasten and tell them to come at once. (The servant goes out.) I shall have to take the first thing I can get; it is now eight o'clock; and he is dressing for the evening; I am sure he will come before it is ready. That will delay it another day. (She rises.) Making purses as a surprise for one's husband does very well for romantic young people, the first year of married life! What would Madame de Lery say if she knew it? And what will he think. Undoubtedly he will laugh at the mystery in which I have shrouded the affair, but will not laugh at the gift. But why all this mystery?
