To me those few seconds were absolutely thrilling! There was another man in the room, who continued writing as though nothing were happening. A couple of strangers passed through on their way to the bar, and seemed to see nothing except the meeting of Louis the maitre d'hotel with a possible client. Felicia had let fall her veil, so that her terror was no longer written in her face.
She was tall, too, though not six feet like Isabella! The waiters and maitre d'hotel all bowed and stood aside as she left, followed by her elderly, stately, silver-haired servant. Of course it would have been an easy matter to Paul to find out her name, and all about her. He would only have had to summon Monsieur Jacques, and ask any question he pleased.
"I don't suppose it will be difficult," she assured him, lighting a cigarette and shaking her head at the tray of liqueurs which the sommelier was offering. "Get me some cream for my coffee, Dick. Now I'll tell you," she continued, as the waiter disappeared. "You will have to call that under-maître d'hôtel. You had better give him a substantial tip and ask him quietly for their names.
Just occasionally amused himself at Raincy Couthon succeed the Comte d'Artois at Bagatelle-and Vliatte, a juryman of the Revolutionary Tribunal, was lodged at the pavillion of Flora, in the Tuilleries, which he seems to have occupied as a sort of Maitre d'Hotel to the Comite de Salut Public.

When these last were gone, the king sent for his maitre d'hotel, and ordered something more than his ordinary bouillon, as he felt hungry that morning. This good news spread joy throughout the Louvre, and the smell of the viands was already beginning to be perceptible, when Crillon, colonel of the French guards, entered to take his majesty's orders.
At a sign from Philip, the maître d'hôtel handed round the tray of cocktails. Mr. Fink raised his glass. "Here's success to the play," he exclaimed, "and good luck to all of us!"

The conversation somewhat naturally centered around Philip.
"I tell you it's all gone; more than five thousand pounds, and my watch and chain; I have not half a franc in my possession." "That is unfortunate indeed," said the maitre d'hotel, looking graver than ever, "because there is my bill to settle." "Oh, hang your bill!" cried Richard. "That will be all right. I must telegraph to my father at once."
"But we must do something!" Graham continued, his anger rising as his strength returned. "Why, the place is a perfect den of conspirators! I expect Ferrani himself is in it, and there's that other maitre d'hotel, Jules, and those black beasts, Joseph and Hassan, besides Fischer. My God, they shall pay for this!" Lutchester nodded.
