The two prisoners had hardly been locked up when she was dressing herself in a low, damp entresol over one of those foul shops where remnants are sold, pieces stolen by tailors and dressmakers an establishment kept by an old maid known as La Romette, from her Christian name Jeromette.
The door commanded respect by an armor of the same character. At the farther end of this room, in a corner, was a spiral-staircase, coming, evidently, from some pulled-down shop, and bought in the rue Chapon by Cadenet, who had fitted it through the ceiling into the room in the entresol occupied by Cerizet.
The sale was progressing in one of the larger salons, but the crowd circulated in a slow solid undulation through every room. Gheta and Anna Mantegazza had sought the familiar comfortable corner of an entresol, and were seated. Lavinia was standing tensely, with a laboring breast, when Bembo suddenly appeared with the man whom he had called the Flower of Spain.
Besides locking and bolting my door, I had moved an old wooden chest against it, which I had found under the bed. Only one chance was left me the window. I stole to it on tiptoe. My bedroom was on the first floor, above an entresol, and looked into the back street. I raised my hand to open the window, knowing that on that action hung, by the merest hair-breadth, my chance of safety.
Within the great house there was silence, for the vistas of the wide interior led far back from the street and its tumult; nor did there arise within the walls any sound of voice or footfall. Of the entire household there was but one left to do the master service. They entered the great hall, passed the foot of the wide stairway, and turned at the first entresol, where were seats and couches.
"But I have not the slightest wish." "No matter, I have; and you shall bring me." "You forget," said I, mimicking his own words, "I am unfortunately not intimate enough." "As to that," replied he, "there is a vast difference between the etiquette Rue du Bac, No. 22, three floors above the entresol, and the gorgeous salons of the Hôtel Clichy, Rue Faubourg St.
It was necessary, likewise, to send off all the diamonds belonging to the Queen. Her Majesty shut herself up with me in a closet in the entresol, looking into the garden of the Tuileries, and we packed all the diamonds, rubies, and pearls she possessed in a small chest.
"Monsieur Jacques Bricheteau?" "Yes; Monsieur Jacques Bricheteau; he lives here I believe." "Fourth floor above the entresol, door to the left. He has just come in, and you can overtake him on the stairs." Rapidly as I ran up, my man had the key of his door already in the lock when I reached him. "Have I the honor of speaking to Monsieur Jacques Bricheteau?" I asked.
No more lounging against the newel under the carved torch-bearer, while the journalist of the fourth floor spat at the Dreyfusites, and the poet of the entresol threw versified vitriol at perfidious Albion.
They selected for their performance a cabinet in the entresol which nobody had occasion to enter. A kind of proscenium, which could be taken down and shut up in a closet, formed the whole theatre. The Comte de Provence always knew his part with imperturbable accuracy; the Comte d'Artois knew his tolerably well, and recited elegantly; the Princesses acted badly.
