"No, not with me; I do not live in Mount Street. I have my address sometimes at her house." "Madame Gordeloup?" "Yes, Madame Gordeloup. She is Lady Ongar's friend. She will talk to you." "Will you introduce me, Count Pateroff?" "Oh, no; it is not necessary. You can go to Mount Street, and she will be delighted. There is the card. And now we will smoke."
"Madam Gordeloup, pray understand me; between you and me there shall be no further intimacy." "Certainly not. No further explanation is necessary, but our intimacy has certainly come to an end." "It has." "Undoubtedly." "Julie!" "That is such nonsense. Madam Gordeloup, you are disgracing yourself by your proceedings."
"It signifies nothing before you," said Lady Ongar. "But before the servant, Julie ?" "It would signify nothing before anybody." "Come, come, Julie, dear; that is nonsense." "Nonsense or no nonsense, I would wish to be private when I please. Will you tell me, Madam Gordeloup, what is your pleasure at the present moment?"
"But, Harry, suppose that no one loved and esteemed you; that you had no home down at Clavering with a father that admires you and a mother that worships you; no sisters that think you to be almost perfect, no comrades with whom you can work with mutual regard and emulation, no self-confidence, no high hopes of your own, no power of choosing companions whom you can esteem and love suppose with you it was Sophie Gordeloup or none how would it be with you then?"
"No one ever did try to shut you up, Sophie!" "No, indeed; M. Gordeloup knew better. What would he do if I were shut up? And no one will ever shut you up, my dear. If I were you, I would give no one a chance." "Don't say that," said the captain, almost passionately; "don't say that." "Ha, ha! but I do say it. Why should a woman who has got everything marry again?
Then he did as he was bid, and seated himself; as it were, quite out at sea, with nothing but an ocean of carpet around him, and with no possibility of manipulating his notes except under the raking fire of those terribly sharp eyes. "And now," said Madam Gordeloup, "you can commence to consult me. What is the business?" Ah; what was the business? That was now the difficulty?
From her first meeting with Harry Clavering on the platform of the railway station, his presence, or her thoughts of him, had sufficed to give some brightness to her life had enabled her to support the friendship of Sophie Gordeloup, and also to support her solitude when poor Sophie had been banished. But now she was left without any resource.
I have always admired her very much, Madam Gordeloup." "Well?" The French ambassador was probably in the next street already, and if Archie was to tell his tale at all, he must do it now. "You will keep my secret if I tell it you?" he asked. "Is it me you ask that? Did you ever hear of me that I tell a gentleman's secret? I think not.
Send me back one word of permission, and I will come to you, and kneel at your feet. And in the meantime, I am your most devoted friend, Lady Ongar, on the receipt of this letter, was not at all changed in her purpose with reference to Madam Gordeloup.
"What, you are going in that way at once? You are in a hurry?" "Well, yes; I am in a hurry, rather, Madam Gordeloup. I have got to be at my office, and I only just came up here to find out your brother's address." Then he rose and went, leaving the note behind him. Then Madam Gordeloup, speaking to herself in French, called Harry Clavering a lout, a fool, an awkward, overgrown boy, and a pig.
