"Bien sur, it was enough to set you thinking, monsieur," was the dry comment of M. Fille, who was now recovering his composure. At that moment there came a knock at the door, and another followed quickly; then there entered without waiting for a reply Carmen Barbille. The Clerk of the Court came to his feet with a startled "Merci!" and the master-carpenter fell back with a smothered exclamation.
"Merci; as your unfashionably retentive memory bring me so much of sweetness, then am I happy in your being unfashionable."
