"I must go soon and get it. But how " She paused and thought. "How do you come down to-morrow?" "I don't. I go on to Brussels. There is a car at Revins belonging to my agent. He will take me to Dinant for the Brussels train." "You are bound for Brussels? Yet you could have gone straight from Paris to Brussels?" "Yet I didn't because I wanted to see you!"
Mon Papa, ma Tante, et le monsieur dent men frere avoit parle, furent tous assembles dans le Salon, et en peu de temps je m'y rendis aussi.
