"Come in, sir, come in," feebly rasped the voice of the old man from the door. "Josephte, bring a chair for Monsieur." "I will fetch one!" cried the good-wife. The girl Josephte, rose from her seat and followed her mother quickly into the house; the pale young man in the garden doubled his cheerful smile; and only the bar-tender endued himself in an aggressive grin of independence.
Napoleon was silent; and Monsieur Permon, remembering the trouble that had weighed Eliza down, concluded also that some such trial might be a part of Napoleon's school-life. "Let me help you, my boy," he said. At this unexpected proposition Napoleon flushed deeply; then the red tinge paled into the sallow one again, and he responded, "I thank you, sir, but I do not need it."
"Le jeun homme n'entends pas madame," observed Mimi. "Que c'est ennuyant, monsieur," said Madame Fontanges, pointing to herself; "Moi Madame de Fontanges vous," pointing to him. "Newton Forster." "Nu tong Fasta ah, c'est bon, cela commence," said the lady. "Allons, mes enfans repetez lui tous vous noms." "Moi Mimi," said the girl bearing that name, going up to Newton, and pointing to herself.
