At first he thought that these raps, which seemed very loud and distinct, were made by someone knocking on the door, perhaps to tell him there was a fire, and faintly murmured "Entrez."
But Toby's idea of dignity was to sit on the corner of the table and swing one leg. If any apprehension lingered in her mind, she concealed it most successfully. She looked like an alert and mischievous boy. There came a knock at the door, and for a moment her eyes sought Saltash. He grinned back derisively, and pulled out his cigarette-case. "Entrez!" he called. The door opened with a flourish.
She should not have done so without asking permission. It is true that she herself had left the keys of the said trunks on her dressing-table, for most maids did unpack for her, but that was no excuse for such a creature as Magsie. Just then there came a tap at her door. She was beginning to feel drowsy and comfortable, and said, in a cross voice, for she preened herself on her French, 'Entrez!
Took me some time to raise anybody, and when a girl does answer all I gets out of her is a squeal and the door is slammed shut again. I was backin' off disgusted when here comes this dame with the big eyes and the grand duchess airs. "'Ah le bon Dieu! says she gaspy. 'Le soldat d'Amerique! Entrez, m'sieur. And say, even if I couldn't have savvied a word, that smile would have been enough.
Two or three hours beside your fire I ask it of Monsieur in the name of Art I ask it of Madame by the sanctity of womanhood." The two, as by a tacit consent, drew back from the door. "Come in," said the man. "Entrez, Madame," said the woman. The door opened directly upon the kitchen of the house, which was to all appearance the only sitting-room.
Suddenly turning, she walked rapidly back, and overtook the crest-fallen wooer and his companion, and said in a voice from which every trace of her late anger had disappeared. "Entrez, Messieurs." The man's countenance speedily lost its gloom, and, respectfully touching his hat, he said: "Oui, Mademoiselle, avec le plus grand plaisir."
"Entrez!" cried that lady. "I am in a bit of difficulty," said Helen. "Mr. Spencer wishes me to dine with him. Would you " "Certainly. I'll ask him to join us. Reggie will see him too. Really, Helen, this is amusing. I am beginning to suspect you." So Spencer received a surprising answer.
"Follow me up stairs," said he, returning in a few minutes; "madame will see you." She followed him Up the large staircase, and through a suite of apartments sufficiently grand to intimidate her young imagination. "Madame est dans son cabinet. Entrez mais entrez done, entrez toujours."
From within a heavy, stupid, pleasant voice lazily remarked: "Entrez." The planton threw the door open, stood stiffly on the threshold, and gave me the look which plantons give to eggs when plantons are a little hungry. Before me, seated at a table, was a very fat personage with a black skull cap perched upon its head.
He knocked at the door softly, as was his way, and when her voice said "Entrez" rather impatiently he did enter and advance with diffidence. She was sitting with her back to the light in one of the great window embrasures, so that he could not see the expression upon her face and her tone became gentle as she welcomed him.
