"Certainly!"
"Hotel St. James... Ecoutez donc, mon vieux!" He clacked his whip with an awakening to life. "Allez!" he shouted to his bag of bones. Our arrival at the Hotel St. James was a sensation, not without alarm. I believe the concierge and his wife believed the Germans had come when they heard the outrageous noise of our horse's hoofs thundering into the awful silence of their courtyard.
When she had given herself a touch at the glass she turned round, with a rapid "Ecoutez maintenant!" and stood leaning a moment slightly lowered and inclined backward, her hands behind her and supporting her on the console before the mirror.
"`Las ninas de Durango Commigo bailandas, Al cielo saltandas, En el fandango en el fan-dang o. "Ah! here comes Monsieur Saint Vrain. Ecoutez! He never go to fandango.
