He is a much more distinguished man than Bobinot and has a past with Calixta which is much less than plutonic. Calixta still remembers their past and when "Alcee Laballiere rode in at the gate his voice and her own startled her as if from a trance" (120). When Calixta allows Alcee to come inside and they are close they are reminded of their past encounter. "He looked down into her eyes and there was nothing for him to do but gather her lips up in a kiss. It reminded him of Assumption" (121). After Alcee reminds Calixta of what had happened in Assumption "her lips seemed in a manner free to be tasted"
