That which he said to me after I dare not tell you, except you first pardon me.
"A thousand pardons, my dear, a thousand pardons," he said as he entered the room, "but, well, if you will forgive particulars, I was quite unable to discover the whereabouts of a certain necessary portion of the male attire. Now, Colonel Quaritch, will you take my daughter? Stop, you don't know the way perhaps I had better show you with the candle."
"You see, Madame," he said, pointing towards the couple, "Montbrun take a tabouret at once, when we come on board, and Mademoiselle Emmeline now has it.

Mr.
I hope you have taken no offence, for none was intended, and I did not mean to disturb any person I was simply asking alms for a seamen's chapel, and I do most sincerely beg your pardons, gentlemen."
"A thousand pardons for having disturbed you," murmured he. "The morning after to-morrow; do not forget." And as on withdrawing he again passed before the little room, he saluted the corpse a last time through the wide open door by devoutly bending his knee.
As for the waiting-room at the tribunal, a word in your ear: chief agents of police know strange secrets.
