We reached the first floor. Opposite to us, not three yards away, was the door of the sitting-room which I knew to be occupied by the Delhasses. "Go on," said I. "In a moment, sir," he said. Then he held up his hand in the attitude of a man who listens. "One should not listen," he whispered, apologetically; "but it is so strange. I thought that if you knew the lady Hark!"
But it also smote me with remorse. I leaped to the ground. "You must wait while I run back." "He will shoot you after all," grinned Jean. "The devil take him!" said I, picturing the poor duchess utterly forsaken at the mercy of Delhasses, husband, and what not. I declare, as my deliberate opinion, that there is nothing more dangerous than for a man almost to forget a lady who has shown him favor.
It might have been supposed that she would show gratitude; I think that even a little admiration and a little appreciation of my tact would not have been, under the circumstances, out of place. He would do himself the honor of waiting on her and escorting her home, when she made up her mind to return to him. "I read it in the same way; but I'm not so sure that the Delhasses are going."
