Well, sir, as I was going on to remark, when first I was acquainted with her, she was just as sweet as she could be; yes, indeed; why, she was just dandy. But she hasn't behaved a bit pretty I presume you heard tell of what took place here this fall?" "Then you know Miss Dufrayer?" "Yes, indeed. But I don't see her any more, an' I guess I don't want to.
"How Miss Dufrayer dresses is none of my business." "Well, maybe not. Now, Fauvre, come along" she called it "Fover." "I reckon you think you've waited long enough." Maurice, left to himself again, was astonished to hear Madeleine's voice in his ear. She had made her way to him alone. "For goodness' sake, pull yourself together," she said cuttingly.
He had carelessly taken up a paper-bound volume of Chopin, and was on the point of commenting upon it, for he had lately begun to understand the difference between a Litolff and a Mikuli. But it slipped from his hand, and he was obliged to crawl under the piano to pick it up; on a corner of the cover, in a big, black, scrawly writing, was the name of Marie Louise Dufrayer.
Then she sat down to write a letter; and when, some half hour later, the girl for whom they had waited, actually came, she met her with exclamations of genuine surprise. "Is it really you? I had given you up long ago. Pray, do you know what time it is?" She took out her watch and dangled it before the other's eyes. But Louise Dufrayer hardly glanced at it.
I'll come soon." Ephie did not need twice telling: she turned and fled. He heard the hall-door bang behind her. "Do try to control yourself. Miss Dufrayer Louise! Every one in the house will hear you." But she only laughed the more.
"When I was introduced to you this afternoon, Miss Dufrayer, you did not know who I was," he said bluntly. "But I knew you very well by sight, I mean, of course. I have seen you often very often." He had done what he had hoped to do, had arrested her attention. She turned and considered him, struck by the tone in which he spoke.
But this time Maurice was on his guard, and the questions she put, straight though they were, only elicited the response that he had seen Miss Dufrayer shortly after arriving, and had been much struck by her. Madeleine's brain travelled rapidly backwards. "But if I remember rightly, Maurice, we met Louise one day in the SCHEIBENHOLZ, the first time we went for a walk together.
What I ask you to tell me is, whether I've been correctly informed or not. Have you, too, heard Louise Dufrayer's name coupled with that of a man called Herries?" But Dove was stubborn. "As far as I'm concerned, Miss Madeleine, the truth is, I've hardly exchanged a word with Guest since spring. Into his ... friendship with Miss Dufrayer, I have never felt it my business to inquire.
"At least, I should like to know her name her whole name. You said Louise, I think?" She laughed outright at this. "Her name is Dufrayer, Louise Dufrayer, and she has been here studying with Schwarz for about a year and a half now. She has some talent, but is indolent to the last degree, and only works when she can't help it. Also she always has an admirer of some kind in tow.
Then, the colour mounted to his face; the nerves in his temples began to throb; and his hand moved along the edge of the table, in search of something to which it could hold fast. It was the first time the name of Louise had been mentioned between them and in what a tone! "Heinz!" he said at last; his voice seemed not to be his own. "How dare you speak of Miss Dufrayer like that!"
