She called me into the little cabinet to partake of it, and there Madame Beck soon made her appearance, bringing me a glass of wine. "Well," began she, chuckling, "and what sort of a reception did Madame Walravens give you? Elle est drole, n'est-ce pas?" I told her what had passed, delivering verbatim the courteous message with which I had been charged.
And until I meet a woman who can hold me, and keep me from a wish to rove, I shall keep my freedom." Then he would laugh and say: "After all, mon ami, I am not as cruel, cold, or flirting as yourself. Your motto after as well as before marriage is: Si l'amour a des ailes n'est-ce pas pour voltiger.
She darted back, and clapping her hands upon the bosom of her charming frock, danced, literally danced and pirouetted around poor Dickie. "Moi, je ne comprenais pas ce que c'était qu'un avorton," she continued rapidly. "Mais je comprends parfaitement maintenant. C'est un monstre, n'est-ce pas, Maman?" She threw back her head, her white throat convulsed by laughter.
"Monsieur will give me the hope to see him, with Monsieur son fils, at my Soirée Fantastique, n'est-ce pas?" he asked, timidly. "Sir," said my father shortly, "I never encourage peripatetic mendicity." The little Frenchman looked puzzled. "Comment?" said he, and glanced to me for an explanation. "I am very sorry, Monsieur," I interposed hastily; "but my father objects to public entertainments."
The straw had been lighted under some logs of wood on the hearth, which as yet emitted more smoke than flame: a few chairs, an old battered sofa, and an upright press, completed the furniture. "I knew your beautiful sloop long before she came in there's no mistaking her; and I ordered the apartment de Monsieur to be prepared. C'est un joli apartement, n'est-ce pas, Monsieur? so retired!"
I'm very fond of my niece and of her father. After all, they stand nearer to me than any one else in the world. They're all I've got of my very own. In any case, they should have had the money some day when I that is, I'd made my will n'est-ce pas? But what matters a little sooner or a little later? And I want my niece to be happy.
Her mood changed. She began to wheedle. "Come, ma petite, you will help me recover my little box, n'est-ce pas? You will find me generous. And I am rich, I have great savings. I can..." Barbara put up her hands and pushed the dancer away from her. "After what you have said to me to-night," she said, "I wouldn't give you back your box even if I had it." She turned to the man.
"Vous m'excuserez, mais vous voyez.... Revenez vers dix heures, encore mieux demain." "Qu'elle sorte!" repeated the Frenchman impatiently. "C'est moi, n'est-ce pas?"
We shall have a charming little reunion at supper, n'est-ce pas?" "Delightful," said Tom, but in a tone of voice that did not encourage the Marquis to ask further questions or to continue his comments. After dinner, Tom slipped the field glass beneath his jacket, and ran upstairs to take another view of the countryside.
"Vous êtes Paul Loup, n'est-ce pas, monsieur?" she said in a clear voice, gazing up at him fearlessly. While the girls gasped at her temerity a most astounding thing happened. The man dropped the frying pan and it clattered to the floor, its contents spilling out greasily. While they looked he seemed to crumple, shrivel, and his eyes stared at them glassily out of his white mask of a face.
