"And now, what do you wish to do?" "I think that I ought to tell Monsieur Nougarde." "Evidently, whatever the value of Madame Dammauville's declaration, he should know it; he will appraise it. Only, as it is well to explain to him what may vitiate this testimony, if you wish, I will go to see him." "Certainly I wish it, and I thank you."

"When the concierge saw me return," Phillis began, "she showed a certain surprise; but she is a good woman, who is easily tamed, and I had not much trouble in making her tell me all she knows of Madame Dammauville.
"I have, therefore, nothing to do with this lady," continued Saniel, with the precipitation of a man who has just escaped a danger.
