Monsieur Decheles smiled. "It is a pleasure which we all share," he declared.
"Herr Freudenberg, your luncheon has been delightful," Monsieur Decheles declared, holding out his hand. "You have given us, as usual, something to think of.

Your hand is too clear and your methods too sagacious."
"There is no doubt," Monsieur Decheles asserted calmly, "that the influence of the late king was immense among the people of France.
