She is not a regular customer, and has given us no references. If she doesn't pay, shall I leave the ring? My employer told me, 'Consult some prominent tradesman of the neighborhood, and follow his advice." Prominent tradesman! Delicately tickled vanity was dancing in the grocer's eyes.

He thought that the baroness would at least start on hearing that name. Not at all. With a look of profound astonishment, "Rue du Cirque," she repeated, like a person who is making a prodigious effort of memory, "Rue du Cirque! Zelie Cadelle!
