At last the Marquis dashed at it, and said, as she already knew, their parents had arranged they should marry, and he hoped he would make her happy.

Then he took her hand, pulled off her glove backwards, and pushed it on to the first finger he came to, which happened to be the middle one. How I should hate to be betrothed like that. However, Victorine seems to think half a loaf is better than no bread, for she kept her glove off all the rest of the evening, and looked at her ring with conscious pride.
