"I beg your pardon, my dear," said Germaine boastfully. "Madame de Relzieres, my fiance's cousin, gave an At Home the other day in my honour. At it she introduced half Paris to me the Paris I'm destined to know, the Paris you'll see in my drawing-rooms." "But we shall no longer be fit friends for you when you're the Duchess of Charmerace," said Jeanne.
"Why, it was through Relzieres that we got to know Jacques." "Where was that?" said Marie. "Here in this very chateau," said Germaine. "Actually in his own house?" said Marie, in some surprise. "Yes; actually here. Isn't life funny?" said Germaine.
"Then what?" said Germaine, a little startled by her panic-stricken face. "The duel! Monsieur de Relzieres' duel!" cried Sonia. "What? You don't think it was with Jacques?" "I don't know but this quarrel the Duke's manner this morning the Du Buits' drive " said Sonia. "Of course of course! It's quite possible in fact it's certain!" cried Germaine. "It's horrible!" gasped Sonia.
Marie broke it: "Speaking of Madame de Relzieres, do you know that she is on pins and needles with anxiety? Her son is fighting a duel to-day," she said. "With whom?" said Sonia. "No one knows. She got hold of a letter from the seconds," said Marie. "My mind is quite at rest about Relzieres," said Germaine. "He's a first-class swordsman. No one could beat him."
"That's exactly what his cousin Madame de Relzieres said to me the other day at the At Home she gave in my honour wasn't it, Sonia?" And she walked to the window, and, turning her back on them, stared out of it. "She HAS got her mouth full of that At Home," said Jeanne to Marie in a low voice. There was an awkward silence.
