`` You spoil me terribly , La Louve . '' `` It is not for your good behaviour , if I do ; always trying to oppose me in everything I try to do for your good . Are you not very much tired ? We have been walking more than half an hour ; I heard twelve o'clock just strike from Asnières . '' `` I do feel rather weary , but still the walk has done me good . '' `` There now -- you were tired , and yet could not tell me so ! '' `` Pray do n't scold me ; I assure you I was not conscious of my weariness until I spoke .
