"Oh! really, Duchess, you force me to speak of persons and things, which ..." "Yes, yes, I force you to; we understand that. But tell me! Bluntly, without mincing matters, if necessary. You know that I have no objection to that sort of thing, so go on. Do not keep me in suspense like this. I am burning with curiosity. What does Julot do?"
Berthe, who was very intent upon the matter in hand, did not notice this individual's manner; it was Julot, her faithful squire for the last two hours, who got her away. "Come," he said, taking her by the sleeve, "you know your brother is waiting for you," and as she yielded to his insistence he whispered in her ear, "That chap's a dirty-looking rascal: I don't think much of him!"
Hum!" the viscount said, in some embarrassment, "I do not know of any means, my dear child, unless we get together a jury...." "Please do not joke about it!" Huguette exclaimed. "I am perfectly serious." "I am very serious also, I assure you, I think that a jury..." "Composed of whom? Of men of the world, I suppose?" "And what does this Julot do?"
"In case you care to know, my name's Julot," said the man. And Berthe replied frankly, but without otherwise compromising herself. "And I am Bob, or Bobinette, whichever you like. I am Hogshead Geoffroy's sister," she added with a little touch of pride. A murmur ran round the crowd. Mealy Benoît was going through his trial.
"Who is Muller?" "Why, the watchman on the second floor." "Oh, ah, yes; and who turned him out?" "I think his name is Juve." "Oh ho!" Julot muttered to himself. "I thought as much!"
So Geoffroy, very drunk, offered Benoît, who was no whit more sober, the gross affront of refusing to clink glasses with him! "Why, it's you!" exclaimed Bouzille, in ringing tones of such glad surprise that everybody turned round to see whom he was addressing. Julot and Berthe looked with the rest.
