Schillie had insisted on dining like Christians, as she called it, with dinner napkins and finger glasses. The rest of the dinner table was covered with fruits and flowers, such as I am sure no Lord Mayor ever saw at his table. Grace was said.
The other sleeping apartments are large and lofty; each with two small bedsteads, tastefully hung, like the windows, with red and white drapery. The sitting-room is famous. Dinner is already laid in it for three; and the napkins are folded in cocked-hat fashion. The floors are of red tile.
As Boris started towards the entrance-arch, Rouletabille slipped into the laboratory. Old Alexis was bent over his retorts. A wretched lamp barely lighted his obscure work. He turned at the noise the reporter made. "Ah!-you, lad!" "'Well?" "Oh, nothing so quick. Still, I have already analyzed the two napkins, you know." "Yes? The stains? Tell me, for the love of God!"
The slaves who hold his horse, the one who carries the great red umbrella, and the two the pink and blue ones who shake napkins in the monarch's face to drive away imaginary flies, are all herculean negroes whose countenances are wrinkled into fierce smiles; they are all old men, and their gray or white beards contrast with the blackness of their features.

The truth is, as I believe I have since found out, that they have no barber shops worthy of the name in Paris and no barbers, either, for that matter. The impostor who does duty as a barber brings his pans and napkins and implements of torture to your residence and deliberately skins you in your private apartments.
Simply do what I tell you. Then analyze these two napkins, as well." And he drew from his coat two soiled napkins. "Well," said Koupriane, "you have thought of everything." "They are the napkins the general and his wife used." "Yes, yes, I understand that," said the Chief of Police. "And you, Alexis, do you understand?" asked the reporter.
