A flute-like voice which disturbed the Abbe rose in vexed and hurried accents, which finally died away in a burst of glee. 'What can it be? said Serge, rising from his chair. But Desiree bounded in again, carrying something hidden in her gathered-up skirt. And she burst out excitedly: 'Isn't she queer? She wouldn't come in at all.
