Gaston was an especial favorite, and Madame de Fleury loved Madeleine as well as it was possible for her to love any one.

From that moment Mademoiselle Madeleine's 'fairy fingers' commenced their marvels under the celebrated couturière's direction, and Vignon daily congratulated herself upon the mysterious treasure she had discovered. Mademoiselle Madeleine now determined to remain in Paris incognita.
She desired Vignon to suggest to Madame de Fleury that one of the assistants in her favorite couturière's establishment, the one with whose designs Madame de Fleury was already acquainted, might be tempted, by the certainty of the marchioness's patronage, to visit America. Madame de Fleury was contented, and immediately proposed that Mademoiselle Melanie should sail in the same steamer.
