Excerpt from Collection of British Authors, Vol. 2 of 2: Tauchnitz Edition
Madame Potecki was a useful enough adviser in the small and ordinary affairs of everyday life; but face to face with a great emergency she became terrified and helpless.
"My dear, my dear," she kept repeating, in a flurried sort of way, "you must not do anything rash. You must not do anything wild. Oh, my dear, take care: it is so wicked for children to disobey their parents."
"I am no longer a child, Madame Potecki. I am a woman; I know what seems to me just and unjust. And I only wish to do right." She was now quite calm. She had mastered that involuntary tremulousness of the lips. It was the little Polish lady who was agitated.
"My dear Natalie, I will go to your father. I said I would go - even with your message - though it is a frightful task. But how I tell hem that you have this other project in your mind? Oh, my dear, be cautious; don't do anything you will have to repent of after years!"
