Those who travel far afield have perhaps met in foreign towns or among the ruins of dead places now in Russia, now in Egypt two aged people, a man and a woman, who seem to march along without looking and without seeing. They are the Mauperins father and mother. They have sold everything and have gone. Thus they wander from land to land, from hotel to hotel.
The Mauperins had a farm called Villacourt. Mauperin de Villacourt would do very well. Henri promised to see what he could do. Madame Bourjot and her daughter called on the Mauperins next day. The two girls were asked to leave their mothers to their talk, and to take a walk in the garden. "A secret!" said Renée, as soon as they were alone. "Can you guess it?
Before the two families parted it was arranged that Noémi should be taken by her governess to attend the rehearsals at the Mauperins' house. Renée's whole-hearted friendliness and sparkling humour soon overcame Noémi's reserve, and under Denoisel's direction the amateur actors made rapid progress.
