And then came a day when all the servants seemed suddenly to go mad a great rushing madness of mops and brooms and dusters and pails and everything in the house already perfectly clean was cleaned anew, and everything that was already polished was polished freshly, and when Dickie had been turned out of three rooms one after the other, had tumbled over a pail and had a dish-cloth pinned to his doublet by an angry cook, he sought out the nurse, very busy in the linen-room, and asked her what all the fuss was about.
M. Thiers suggested dusters on the hands also, so as to go a quatre pattes; but Henry did not become a quadruped. January 3rd. Dined with the Duc de Nemours, and went to the Duchesse Decazes's reception. Home on the 7th. From the Rev. February 5th.
Emma had her dinner served in her bedroom on a tray by the fireside; she was a long time over it; everything was well with her. "How good I was!" she said to herself, thinking of the scarves. She heard some steps on the stairs. It was Leon. She got up and took from the chest of drawers the first pile of dusters to be hemmed. When he came in she seemed very busy.
