Context
““for you would be contradicting the kind words you have just pronounced. Remain, I implore you: the evening is most lovely. You wish to escape from the merry tumult, and prefer your own society. Well, I can understand it; all women who are possessed of any feeling do, and one never finds them dull or lonely when removed from the giddy vortex of these exciting amusements. Oh! Heaven!” he exclaimed, suddenly.
“What is the matter, monsieur le comte?” inquired La Valliere, with some anxiety. “You seem agitated.”
“I! oh, no!”
“Will you allow me, M. de Guiche, to return you the thanks I had proposed to offer you on the very first opportunity?”
