1 He comes to see me often in the city.
2 Edna's father was in the city, and had been with them several days.
3 But by the time she had regained the city the song no longer echoed in her soul.
4 Mr. Pontellier had seen Robert in the city, and Edna asked him a dozen questions or more.
5 Edna knew that Madame Lebrun had returned to the city, for it was the middle of November.
6 It was the last place in the city where she would have expected to meet any one she knew.
7 Victor Lebrun, who happened to be in the city, bent upon relaxation, had accepted with alacrity.
8 He was returning to the city to his business, and they would not see him again at the Island till the coming Saturday.
9 Their intimacy, begun at Grand Isle, had not declined, and they had seen each other with some frequency since their return to the city.
10 Later a young brother and sister gave recitations, which every one present had heard many times at winter evening entertainments in the city.
11 But a man needed occasional relaxation, he informed Mrs. Pontellier, and every now and again he drummed up a pretext to bring him to the city.
12 She hoped that Edna would go to see her in the city, and wrote her address with the stub of a pencil on a piece of card which she found in her pocket.
13 Unfortunately she had mislaid or lost Mademoiselle Reisz's card, and looking up her address in the city directory, she found that the woman lived on Bienville Street, some distance away.
14 There were only a few lines, setting forth that he would leave the city that afternoon, that he had packed his trunk in good shape, that he was well, and sent her his love and begged to be affectionately remembered to all.
15 When Madame Lebrun complained that it was so dull coming back to the city; that she saw so few people now; that even Victor, when he came up from the island for a day or two, had so much to occupy him and engage his time; then it was that the youth went into contortions on the lounge and winked mischievously at Edna.
