Smokes and drinks like a trooper, Mamzelle!" he added admiringly, as Louise Renaud studied the portrait attentively. "But with all 'er advantages, you would not call 'er a lady. No that term would be out of the question. She is wot we men would call an enchantin' female!"
I would not accept 'im for my pussonal attendant. No! But Sir Philip Bruce-Errington " He paused, then continued, "Air you sure of your facts, Mamzelle?" Mamzelle was so sure, that the bow on her cap threatened to come off with the determined wagging of her head. "Well," resumed Briggs, "Sir Philip may, like hothers, consider it 'the thing' you know, to 'ang on as it were to Vi.
In the afternoon, when the grown-up members of the household drove off in state to attend garden parties at neighbouring mansions, the Captain found it infinitely more enjoyable to punt slowly down the stream, dreaming his own dreams, or listening with a smile while the older child amused her juniors by quaint and adventurous stories. She was always happy, this little Mamzelle Paddy.
Mamzelle Maryette, if I should swear to you that he is on his third chicken and that a row of six pint bottles of ’93 Margaux stand empty on the cloth at his elbow, I should do no penance for untruthfulness.

"Vivien!" he repeated; "well, there's a Mamzelle Vivien across the road. D'you mean her?" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Where did your la'ship say?" asked Briggs dubiously.
I could kick myself for my stupidity. You will never trust me again, but please make me the scapegoat to the sister, and let her wreak her wrath on me. It's not fair that you should be blamed." "Oh, I am not afraid of any wrath, I assure you. She's a charming girl, and as sweet as Mamzelle herself. I have asked her to come down to- morrow and see for herself that there is no harm done.
"Is it that you mean, Anne," she asked, "that some one a person whose wish had the right to be regarded told you that you might explain the matter to your guardian when you went to Nantes?" "Yes, Mamzelle, that was it," Anne responded eagerly. "He said I might tell then." "He," mused Mademoiselle. "Who, Anne?" Anne did not answer. "Where were you when he told you this?"
