"Has he arrived?" asked Prulliere, entering the room in his Alpine admiral's costume, which was set off by a big sword, enormous top boots and a vast tuft of plumes. "Who d'you mean?" said Simonne, taking no notice of him and laughing into the mirror in order to see how her lips looked. "The prince." "I don't know; I've just come down. Oh, he's certainly due here tonight; he comes every time!"
