"Mademoiselle wishes to enter? Ten sous, if you please." And then with a loud voice directed over her head, "Entrez, Messieurs et Dames, and see the hand to hand struggle between a man and a savage beast! A contest at once magnificent and appalling one which you will remember to the end of your days, a spectacle to describe to your children and to your children's children " "John Markham!"
At length, she came to the table and, dropping languidly into a chair, rested her elbow on the arm and, with chin in hand, stared into vacancy. Presently, there was a sharp knock at the corridor door. She glanced quickly at the clock then, picked up a book and, sinking back in easy posture, assumed to read. "Entréz," she called, without looking up. The door opened instantly and a man entered.
Not an Englishman remained upon the south side of the river. The French flag waved from the top of the tower. The seven months' siege was raised by the Maid eight days after her entrance into the city. "Entrez, entrez de la part de Dieu all is yours!" Thus spoke the Maid, as we rushed the tower of the boulevard, the English flying this way and that before us.
Ah, Monsieur!" added he, addressing Roger, "for your friend's sake you are welcome. Entrez!" "Be quiet now, Gustav," said the tutor. "Bring us come coffee in the coffee-room, if you can get it made, and light a fire in the bedroom. We will talk in the morning." Gustav gesticulated delighted acquiescence in any demand his hero made, and ushered them into the coffee-room.
"Can I see the billeting lieutenant?" "He is not here." "I saw him enter." "We will go and see...." She drummed upon the table with her fingers and the clerks and secretaries winked and nodded more meaningly than ever. "Entrez, mademoiselle. He will see you." The red-haired lieutenant with pince-nez was upon his feet looking at her curiously as she entered the adjoining room.
"I think there is a girl sick here," said Peter. "May I see her?" The woman stared still harder, and he thought she was going to refuse him admission, but at length she gave way. "Entrez," she said. "Je pense que vous savez le chambre. Mais, le bouquet c'est incroyable." Peter went up the stairs and knocked at the door. A voice asked who was there, and he smiled because he could not say.
"I thought I heard him say `Rex." But he kept on to the next floor and stopped before the door of the room which was directly under his own. He paused, hesitated, looking up at a ray of light which came out from a crack in the transom. "It's too late," he muttered, and turned away irresolutely. A clear voice called from within, "Entrez donc, Monsieur." He opened the door and went in.
The voice that called out "Entrez!" in reply to Esther's knock sounded sharp and strained. Lady Clifford was sitting before her rather elaborate dressing-table, partly dressed, wrapped in a peignoir of heavy white crêpe. The face she turned upon Esther was pale and shadowed about the eyes, the lips tightly compressed. She really did look ill.
Garron knew the road as well as his pocket it was a favourite with him when he did not wish to be seen. Now and then the girl sang in a maudlin way: "Entrez, entrez, messieurs, C'est l'amour qui vous attend." It was gray dawn when they reached the edge of the Great Marsh that lay smothered under a blanket of chill mist.
Here there was a change for the better here, at least, there was silence. She knocked at the door on the landing of the second floor. A gentle voice answered, in French; "Entrez!" then quickly substituted the English equivalent, "Come in!" Stella opened the door. The wretchedly furnished room was scrupulously clean.
