Thereupon I dragged myself out of bed, and stubbornly resisted all Marcasse's efforts to keep me back; I had the farmer's horse saddled and started off at a gallop. I staggered into the drawing-room without meeting any one except Saint-Jean, who uttered a cry of terror on seeing me, and rushed off without answering my questions. The drawing-room was empty.

"Never mind, never mind, mesdemoiselles. Go and dress." Thereupon another refrain begins: "What dress must I wear, Grandmamma? The gray?" "Grandmamma, there's a ribbon gone from my hat."
