Are you watching me because you fear there might be another Lawson?" "There might be." "Nonsense! There isn't another man in the section would dare what Lawson dared!" "Gentlemen eh?" he said, tauntingly. "Well, I've nosed around quite considerable, an' I don't remember to have ever run into a place where there was fewer men than in this neck of the woods." "There are plenty of gentlemen.

As Madame de Camps finished reading the letter, the sound of a carriage entering the courtyard was heard. "There are the gentlemen," said the countess. "Now, had I better show this letter to my husband or not?" "You can't avoid doing so," replied Madame de Camps. "In the first place, Nais will chatter about it.
