She dropped upon the sofa, and was seized with one of those hysterical paroxysms which French women designate as an attaque de nerfs. "Save, save the dress! Do not let it burn!" Madame de Fleury gasped out between her sobs. "The dress is beyond saving, madame," replied Madeleine; "it no longer exists." At this moment the marchioness suddenly recovered. "And you have destroyed it?
"Mais oui tout ce tapage m'agace les nerfs," answered the child, pushing her hair off her forehead with one of her old- fashioned little gestures, and then standing motionless as before, her hands behind her, and her eyes fixed on Graham.
But what a people! But yes, you resemble us, as bottles bottles; seulement, you are emptied of your wine. Ce Monsieur Peterbooroo'! Il m'agace les nerfs. It cannot be blood in his veins. One longs to see him cuffed, to see if he has the English lion in him, one knows not where. But you are so, you English, when not intoxicated. And so censorious!
And I promise you no more outbursts." So it happened that on the afternoon of New Year's day Von Gerhard and I gravely wished one another many happy and impossible things for the coming year, looking fairly and squarely into each other's eyes as we did so.

Fraulein put her arm round her compassionately. "She is quaite too tired," she said; "it is an attack of nerfs. Nefer mind, dear shild.
