"I know the Countess de Quinsac," he said, "I can go to see her at once." "Quite so! an excellent idea, the Countess de Quinsac! Take a cab and go to see the Princess de Harn as well.
The General, as he went off, came to ask his nephew if he should see him that afternoon at his mother's, Madame de Quinsac, whose "day" it was: a question which the young man answered with an evasive gesture when he noticed that both Eve and Camille were looking at him.
