Miette

Definition and stakes

William S. Walsh,  In Search of a Son

“ Monsieur and Madame Dalize looked up with astonishment. Miette gazed at Monsieur Roger without understanding.
"My dear friends," said Roger, turning to Monsieur and Madame Dalize, "you will not refuse me the pleasure of giving my fortune to Miss Miette. I have no one else in the world; and does not Mariette represent both of you? Where would my money be better placed?"

“ But just across the hall in a very small room, eighteen by number, little Miette lay with eyes wide open in the darkness. She was beginning to feel that the wonderful joys of school girl life might have their accompanying sorrows. Never,102 since her own dear mother had last kissed her good-night, had Miette felt that life held any further blessings for her, until she came to Glenwood. Then it seemed that the happy young girls and their unlimited resources for fun-making, would be something after all. ”

“ Miette looked at Albert and Paul, and answered for them with remarkable frankness:
"It will be only right if you do weary us. It is we who asked you, and, besides, we have so often wearied you that it is only right you should have your revenge on us. Still——"
"Still, what?"
"Still, we can trust you," added Miette, laughing, and throwing her arms around Roger's neck.
CHAPTER XXV.
OXYGEN.
"We were saying that oxygen——" cried Miss Miette, with a smile, that evening, after dinner, seeing that Monsieur Roger had completely forgotten his promise.
