Of course it is imposseeble in Cancale to have ze grand bain of Paris, but then zare is still something, a bath quite spécial, simple, and of ze people. Remember, monsieur, it is Bäader."

If there is one thing above all others that puts a Frenchman into panic it is publicity of his personal affairs.

The governor had never heard Dieppe called "petite" nor Cancale "spéciale," and said so, lifting his eyebrows inquiringly. Bäader did not waver.

"On the contraire, monsieur, les bains are most excellent primitive, of course, simple, and quite of ze people. But, monsieur le gouverneur is no more young. When one is no more young," with a deprecating shrug, "parbleu, it is imposseeble to enjoy everything. Monsieur le gouverneur, I do assure you, make ze conclusion most regretfully to return to Paramé."
