She felt afraid of being followed. When she had booked two seats, however, she directed the cabman to drive her to the Palais de Justice.
Aunt Helen and Everard had vacated the drawing-room, so I plumped down on the piano-stool and dashed into Kowalski's galop, from that into "Gaite de Coeur" until I made the piano dance and tremble like a thing possessed. My annoyance faded, and I slowly played that saddest of waltzes, "Weber's Last". I became aware of a presence in the room, and, facing about, confronted Everard Grey.

The young man became a personage all at once in Lucien's eyes.
Verdi set a tragedy by Solera to music in 1845, and in 1869 Gounod wrote some music for a piece by Jules Barbier, which was performed with some success at the Gaîté Théâtre in Paris in 1873.

But as you love me, don't abuse the French tongue!" At which she gave him a slap with her fan. "An I were not so young," she simpers, "I'd cuff your ears, you saucy Pierre!"
