"So now tell me all you know." "Immediately, commander, but allow me in the meantime to remark that I never have ridden in such a splendid carriage." "One must try all things," replied the count laughing; "if I have understood you rightly before it is concerning a report which has come to the knowledge of Madame Joliette." "Quite right, commander.
