The Duc d'Herouville arrived at last to arrange for Modeste's departure; after crossing the Seine she was to be conveyed in the duke's caleche, accompanied by the Demoiselles d'Herouville.

Guy cogitated sadly as he sauntered quietly up the gravel walks that lead to the main entrance of the edifice.
Rumors flew about the town as to the beauty and good taste of the modern or the antique furniture as it was seen to arrive.
