He has a chemist's shop," said M. Charolais, waving a large red hand at the young man. The young man, also blessed with the family eyes, set close together, entered the hall and bowed to the two girls. The Duke raised his eyebrows ever so slightly. "I'm very sorry, gentlemen," said Germaine, "but my father has not yet returned." "Please don't apologize.
Three tables stood prepared respectively for the duke and his suite, for the Count of Charolais, his cousins, and their comrades, and for the knights and ladies. The first table was decorated with marvellous constructions, among which was a cruciform church whose mimic clock tower was capacious enough to hold a whole chorus of singers.
But Morvilliers cut him off, saying: 'My Lord of Charolais, I am not come of ambassage to you, but to my Lord your father. The said earl besought his father divers times to give him leave to answer, who in the end said unto him: 'I have answered for thee as methinketh the father should answer for the son, notwithstanding if thou have so great desire to speak bethink thyself to-day and to-morrow speak and spare not."
"How do you expect the lift to come up if the doors are open?" "I must be off my head!" cried Victoire. She stepped to the side of the lift and pressed a button. The doors closed, and there was a grunting click of heavy machinery settling into a new position. "Suppose we telephone to Justin at the Passy house?" said Victoire. "What on earth's the good of that?" said Charolais impatiently.
The doors of it were open, though the lift itself was on some other floor. To the left of the opening stood a book-case, its shelves loaded with books of a kind rather suited to a cultivated, thoughtful man than to an idle dandy. Beside the window, half-hidden, and peering through the side of the curtain into the street, stood M. Charolais.
He turned to his chauffeur, who stood by watching the struggle with an appreciative grin on his brown face, and said: "Now, Jean, take these gentlemen to the garage, and run them down to the station. Show them what the car can do. Do whatever they ask you everything." He winked at Jean, turned again to M. Charolais, and said: "You know, M. Charolais, you're too good a man of business for me.
"That comes of having a good heart," said Victoire proudly. "Not even the Duke of Charmerace," said Charolais sadly. "And it would have been so easy when he was ill just one little draught. And he was in such a perfect place so out of the way no doctors." "You do have such disgusting ideas, Charolais," said Lupin, in a tone of severe reproof.
In the middle of it stood M. Gournay-Martin, a big, round, flabby hulk of a man. He was nearly as red in the face as M. Charolais; and he looked a great deal redder owing to the extreme whiteness of the whiskers which stuck out on either side of his vast expanse of cheek.
You're hot stuff, that's what you are hot stuff. You go along and try the car. Good-bye good-bye." The four Charolais murmured good-bye in deep depression, and went off with Jean, wearing something of the air of whipped dogs. When they had gone round the corner the millionaire turned to the Duke and said, with a chuckle: "He'll buy the car all right had him fine!"
Mademoiselle de Charolais says that the affair of Bayonne cannot be true, for that the Duc de Richelieu did not tell her of it, and he never concealed anything from her. She says, too, that she will not see my son, for his having put the Duke into the Bastille. The Duke walks about on the top of the terrace at the Bastille, with his hair dressed, and in an embroidered coat.
