Parmier do; but she fancied her voice sounded hoarse and vulgar. She cast a gaze towards a mirror placed at one end of the room. What a plebeian figure! Hark! what was that? a soft tread was heard approaching.

"Parlez-vous Franshay? Ah, oui, oui! Give kith, ole girl!" "You'd better go below, Miss Lashcairn," said the schoolmaster in a low voice. "It's no use talking to an intoxicated man." She knew he was speaking, but she felt mesmerized by Louis, and shook her head impatiently, never taking her eyes for an instant from the boy's dribbling mouth.

He was surprised when Philip told him he did. "Any other language?" "I speak German." "Oh! I go over to Paris myself occasionally. Parlez-vous francais? Ever been to Maxim's?"
Before we could walk beyond reach, the man shouted out: "Carajo! caballeros, why don't you strip before entering the bano?" "What is it?" cried a soldier, coming up and stopping us. A group of his comrades joined him, and we were hurried into the light. "Mil diablos!" exclaimed one of the soldiers, recognising Raoul; "our old friend the Frenchman!
