Miss Haldin hastened to assure her that, on the contrary, she was very much interested in the story of the journeyman lithographer. He was a revolutionist, of course. "A martyr, a simple man," said the dame de compangnie, with a faint sigh, and gazing through the open front door dreamily. She turned her misty brown eyes on Miss Haldin. "I lived with him for four months. It was like a nightmare."

Peter Ivanovitch brought you an invitation. How was I to know? A dame de compangnie is not consulted, as you may imagine."
Miss Haldin, gathering that the lady who called herself a dame de compangnie was proud of having acted as secretary to Peter Ivanovitch, made an amiable remark. "You could not imagine a more trying experience," declared the lady. "There is an Anglo-American journalist interviewing Madame de S now, or I would take you up," she continued in a changed tone and glancing towards the staircase.
