'Any betting? he asked. 'The stake, said I, 'is nothing less than the honour of the Hussars of Conflans. 'Well, come on! he answered. 'If we break you, well and good if you break us, it will be all the better for Marshal Millefleurs. When he said that I could only stare at him in astonishment. 'Why for Marshal Millefleurs? I asked. 'It is the name of a rascal who lives out this way.
Now roll the coach-wheels to the muster Now round my muse her votaries cluster; Spruce Abbe Millefleurs Baron Herman The English Lord, who don't know German, But all uncommonly well read From matchless A to deathless Z! Sneaks in the corner, shy and small, A thing which men the husband call! While every fop with flattery fires her, Swears with what passion he admires her.
But Miss Millefleurs was plainly a young person of instant ingenuity, and she had turned the disfigurement to good purpose by drawing a circle around it and labelling it, "One on account." "Then there's this," said Indiman, and handed me a sheet of foolscap which had been folded and sealed without an envelope, after the fashion of our great-grandfathers.
"The hairpins must have fallen out when I jumped out of the carriage. What am I to do?" "Let down the other plait," advised Mravucsán. "That's it, my dear; it is much prettier so, isn't it, Wibra?"

"Who is this girl Agnes who discovered Miss Blaisdell?" he shot out at the Millefleurs. The beauty-doctor was now really painful in his excitement. Like his establishment, even his feelings were artificial. "Agnes?" he repeated. "Why, she was one of Madame's best hair- dressers. See my dear show the gentlemen the book of engagements."
I saw at once how, accustomed as he was to weigh evidence, he had immediately seen the justification for O'Connor's arrest of the Millefleurs. "More than that," added Kennedy, after examining the fibres of the paper under a microscope, "all these notes are written on the same kind of paper.

From all I have heard of Mr Morgan, or Marshal Millefleurs, or whatever the rascal's name is, I give him credit for more sense than that.
"No, nothing like that." "Lavender water?" "Nay, nay." "Millefleurs?" "Nay, nothing like it. Here, I've got it; something like Paddy Chooly." "Patchouli?" "That's it. I knew it was something about Paddy. Well, sir, if you'll believe me, that stuff smelt just like black beetles in a kitchen cupboard near the fire. I don't mind the smell o' pearl soup."
