"We are getting outside of the question," said the Duchess, striking her bell. "Moreover, is not the assistance of these ladies necessary?" "Indispensable," the secretary replied. "Their assistance will greatly increase the receipts." "What sum shall we decide upon as the price of admission?" asked Madame de Lisieux. "Twenty francs," said Desvanneaux.
Henri accompanied the two women to a coach at the door, which had been engaged by the thoughtful and obliging Desvanneaux; and, pressing tenderly the hand of his mistress, he murmured: "Till to-morrow!" "To-morrow!" she echoed, her heart oppressed with sad forebodings. Desvanneaux, whose wife was very jealous of him, made all haste to regain his conjugal abode.
Already, at the Hotel de Montgeron they swear by her; and if this sort of thing goes on, I shall very soon be regarded only as a pariah!" "Poor Monsieur Desvanneaux!" "You pity me, dear Mademoiselle? I thank you! The role of consoler is truly worthy of your large heart, and if you do not forbid me to hope " said this modern Tartufe, approaching Eugenie little by little.
Monsieur de Perolles knows that I have promised to build our Orphan Asylum at a certain distance from Paris, and hardly three weeks remain to me before I must hand over the property. If I am not ready on the day appointed, Monsieur Desvanneaux will be sure to seize my furniture, and I could not invite you any more to dinner, Messieurs!
But the General would not fail to rally me before my wife regarding my presence here, and Madame Desvanneaux would be pitiless." "Own, however, that you richly deserve a lesson, Lovelace that you are! But I will take pity on you," said Eugenie, opening a door at the end of the room. "The servants' stairway is at the end of that corridor. You know the way!" she added, laughing.
The three couples who were to compose this impromptu ball, yielded quickly to the spell of this irresistible accompaniment. "Suppose Monsieur Desvanneaux should hear that we danced on the eve of Palm Sunday?" laughingly pro-tested Madame de Lisieux. "He would report it at Rome," said Madame de Nointel.

I suppose I ought to show your note to my husband, who is an expert swordsman; but I prefer to return to you your autograph letter for the price of these fifteen tickets. Go and sin again, should your heart prompt you!" "But that is a species of blackmail, Madame!" cried Madame Desvanneaux. "The end justifies the means," replied the Vicomtesse gayly.
"Only, in the opinion of the founders of the Orphan Asylum, it should be situated in the city of Paris itself." "The donor thought that open fields and fresh air would be better for the children." "Land outside of Paris costs very much less, of course; that is probably the real reason," said M. Desvanneaux. "Poor Zibeline! you are well hated!" Madame de Nointel could not help saying.
"I have already had the pleasure of seeing Monsieur at my house," said Valentine, "also Madame Desvanneaux; and although I was unable to accede to their wishes, I retain, nevertheless, the pleasantest recollections of their visit." "Good hit!" whispered Madame de Nointel to her neighbor. "The Marquis de Prerolles, my brother," the Duchess continued.
