seven o'clock
precisely
`` Oh , my pretty neighbour , '' said Rodolph , pitying her confusion , `` I was just coming up to speak with you . Can you wait for me one minute ? '' Then addressing Anastasie , he said , `` Pray let nothing prevent your taking Cecily to Jacques Ferrand 's this evening . '' `` Make yourself perfectly easy , my king of lodgers ; at seven o'clock precisely she shall be duly placed there . Now that Morel 's wife is able to get about , I will ask her to mind the lodge for me while I am away ; for , bless you , Alfred would not stay by himself , -- not for a ` varsal crown ! '' The bright freshness of Rigolette 's complexion was daily fading away , while her once round , dimpled cheek had sunk and given place to a pale , careworn countenance , the usually gay , mirthful expression of which had changed into a grave , thoughtful cast , more serious and mournful still since her meeting with Fleur-de-Marie at the gate of St. Lazare . `` I am so glad to see you , '' said Rigolette to Rodolph , when they were at a convenient distance from the lodge of Madame Pipelet .
