Lovely girl; she has managed to surprise him, making of the anticipated (but no less welcome) gesture a greater promise, an acceptance - so it seems - and a smiling sign of more to come. He knows how to read such signals, grasps the invitation in this talk of tomorrow, and understands that a kiss in lieu of the slap he almost certainly deserved is the surest sign of welcome. She may play it coy if she likes, but Mademoiselle Boissy has bound herself to him. And though it is destined to be a brief affair, for the moment it stands steadfast.
The kiss is bold, if unpracticed, her lips sweeter for their inexperience. "Doubt not that I will be here, rooted to the spot, your servant waiting for your call.
"Indeed, 'doubt thou the stars are fire; doubt that the sun doth move; doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt' that I remain, and that you, Irma Boissy, now hold captive my senses, my reason, my wish."
And it is little enough time to wait. A day and a half... What cost is that to achieve such sweet reward? For a girl who so persistently betters his expectations, Grantaire is willing to play with patience.
