"Your master and I are never at home, remember, if this gentleman calls," she continued, turning to the servants. "Jean, go for the doctor; and bring hartshorn, Madeleine." In the Presidente's eyes, the reason given by Brunner was simply an excuse, there was something else behind; but, at the same time, the fact that the marriage was broken off was only the more certain.
On going ashore, each of the three children carried back a box of American candy, the order of our guests' departure being somewhat delayed by Señora Presidente's intense fear of going down the gangway.
M. Leboeuf, President of the Tribunal, is acquainted with M. de Marville, and can answer inquiries about me " The Presidente's shrug was so ruthlessly significant, that Fraisier was compelled to make short work of his parenthetic discourse. "So distinguished a woman will at once understand why I speak of myself in the first place. It is the shortest way to the property."
La Cibot had treated him as a madman and a visionary; he saw what this meant he saw the Presidente's hate and greed, her revenge in La Cibot's behavior. In the sleepless hours and lonely days of the last two months, the poor man had sifted the events of his past life.

After dinner, I went over and called on the padre, one of the Belgians, whom we had met the day before. He informed me that Bambang had many Protestants, which he explained by the sharp rivalry between the Aglipayanos, or members of the "native" church, headed by the secessionist Aglipay, and the Catholics. When I got back to the presidente's, everybody had turned in, and the house was dark.
If in his private office, as he showed himself to La Cibot, he was the common knife that a murderer catches up for his crime, now, at the Presidente's door, he was the daintily-wrought dagger which a woman sets among the ornaments on her what-not. A great change had taken place in the Rue de Hanovre.
"You are here so early, cousin, that you have come in upon us just as mother was about to dress," said Cecile Camusot in a coaxing tone. But Cousin Pons had caught sight of the Presidente's shrug, and felt so cruelly hurt that he could not find a compliment, and contented himself with the profound remark, "You are always charming, my little cousin."
