“In the first place, how did you come to have anything to do with me?” Welsh, whose sharp wits instantly divined the weak point in the attack, cut in quickly, “Don’t tell him if he doesn’t know already!” But Twiddel’s relapse to virtue was complete. “I was asked to take charge of you while——” He hesitated. “While I was unwell,” smiled Mr Bunker. “Yes?” “I was to travel with you.” “Ah!”
Then, with her bleak face looking unmeaningly out of the window, she continued, in an even and mechanical voice: "I had better state everything that occurred just as it occurred. This morning I was clearing away the breakfast things, my sisters were both somewhat unwell, and had not come down. My brother had just gone out of the room, I believe, to fetch a book.
One day I happened to miss the appointment she had given me for a sitting; I had suddenly become unwell. The next day I hastened to Versailles to offer my excuses. The Queen was not expecting me; she had had her horses harnessed to go out driving, and her carriage was the first thing I saw on entering the palace yard. I nevertheless went upstairs to speak with the chamberlains on duty.
Her love was never selfish; her whole being went out to him whom she loved: his sorrows and joys were hers, she knew no others.
