Show us to his bedroom!" "I swear to you, Monsieur le Sous-prefect, he is not here! he " "I swear to you, Monsieur le Garcon, he is. He slept here he didn't find your bed comfortable he came to us to complain of it here he is among my men and here am I ready to look for a flea or two in his bedstead. Renaudin! Now, then, gentlemen, let us walk upstairs!"
Again the garçon entered, this time with smiling assurance, for he brought me a telegram forwarded from my studio by my concierge. I opened the despatch: the next instant I jumped to my feet. "Read!" I cried, poking the blue slip under Tanrade's nose, "it's from the curé."
How many the appreciative ladies consumed, the muse saith not; but the susceptible heart of the great garçon was deeply touched, and it was with difficulty that they finally escaped from his attentions.
Certainly a young woman who leaves her mother at York, and comes up to London to reside alone in lodgings, where she is constantly being visited by a lover who is himself living en garçon in the metropolis, can hardly complain if her imprudence is fatal to her reputation; neither can he if his own suffers in the same way.
Now, give me leave to speak on affairs. I have seen your cousin Enguerrand de Vandemar. Homme de moyens, though joli garcon. He proposed that you should call on me. I said 'no' to the cher petit Enguerrand, a visit from me was due to you. To cut matters short, M. Gandrin has allowed me to look into your papers. I was disposed to serve you from the first; I am still more disposed to serve you now.

He is fat and good-natured, gifted with strong shrewd sense and some powers of humour; but having been handsome, I suppose, in his youth, has still some pretension to be a beau garcon, as well as an enthusiastic agriculturist.
Lanyard put down knife and fork, swallowed a final mouthful of Haut Brion, and lighted a cigarette with the hand of a man who knew not the meaning of nerves. "Garcon!" he called quietly; and ordered coffee and cigars, with a liqueur to follow.... "Known!" the American exclaimed. "They've caught him, eh?" "I didn't say that," De Morbihan laughed; "but the mystery is no more in certain quarters."
How dare you, a young person, sit coolly down, with the self- possession of a garcon, and look at that picture?" "It is a very ugly picture, but I cannot at all see why I should not look at it" "Bon! bon! Speak no more of it. But you ought not to be here alone." 'If, however, I have no society no party, as you say?
"Bon garçon!" exclaimed Madame, patting him on the shoulder. "I will borrow the fifty dollars; but I trust we shall be able to pay you before many months." "It will wound my feelings if you ever offer to repay me," replied the young man.
