The straw had been lighted under some logs of wood on the hearth, which as yet emitted more smoke than flame: a few chairs, an old battered sofa, and an upright press, completed the furniture. "I knew your beautiful sloop long before she came in there's no mistaking her; and I ordered the apartment de Monsieur to be prepared. C'est un joli apartement, n'est-ce pas, Monsieur? so retired!"
At the door of the lodge the brigadier again addressed me with the same eighteenth-century smile: would I be pleased to walk into his 'apartement'? We went into this 'apartement. Everything in it was exceedingly filthy and poor, so filthy and so poor that the brigadier, noticing, probably, by the expression of my face, the impression it made on me, observed, shrugging his shoulders, and half closing his eyelids: 'Ce n'est pas ... oeil de perdrix. ...

Hot? he repeated again, as though puzzled over the question, and, having finally swallowed the carrot, he gazed absently upwards. 'Would you care to step into my apartement? he said suddenly.
The publishers, she feared, played the best game, but she had the English quality of not knowing when she was beaten. Valeria had succeeded in finding a place for two of the articles. This was encouraging, but funds were running alarmingly low. The apartement would have either to be given up, or to be taken on for another term, at the end of the week. A decision must be made.
Kemp had given Milly the address of an excellent pension near the Arc, at which Sam Reddon expressed a frank disgust. "Americans and English the rotten bourgeoisie why don't you stay in New York?" He figuratively spat upon the proprieties, and Milly was bewildered. "An apartement meublée au cinquième, near the Boul' 'Mich for us, eh, missus?"
