"Fossette!" she tried to call out; but no sound issued from her lips. She could not move her tongue. She tried to protrude it, and could not. For hours she had been conscious of a headache.

Madame took the hand-glass, and did not deny that she was eblouissante. If madame, suggested Monsieur Cadron, had but a little dress a la Marie Antoinette?
I need not chronicle my next three days to me the most glorious "trois jours" of my life. Clara had evidently singled me out and preferred me to all the rest.
