I am doing no harm, I suppose?" "And that great good-for-nothing, mademoiselle," resumed Madame de Saint-Remy, pointing to Malicorne, "is he here to do any good, I ask you?" "He is neither here for good nor harm, madame; he comes to see me, that is all." "It is all very well! all very well!" said the old lady. "Her royal highness shall be informed of it, and she will judge."
Monsieur made a sign to Madame, who struck a bell which was placed at her right hand; M. de Saint-Remy entered, and the room was soon filled with people.

"More than that, the young lady has lately become one of the princess's maids of honor."

"Exactly, madame; you have guessed rightly." "Well, then, nothing can be more moral or proper." "I think so, madame." "And I have been wrong, as it appears, in reproaching you, mademoiselle."
