The gentlemen can not complain of being crowded here," she added, with a smile. M. de Lisieux and M. de Nointel, as well as Edmond Delorme, hastened to throw away their cigarettes, and all made their way to the long gallery. The Baron de Samoreau and the Chevalier de Sainte-Foy remained alone together. The Duchess took the occasion to speak quietly to her brother.
The young mistress of the house was seated on one side, between the Duc de Montgeron and the Marquis de Prerolles. Facing her sat the Duchesse de Montgeron, between General Lenaieff and the Chevalier de Sainte-Foy.
"Yes gamblers, and fortune-hunters, in whose eyes her millions excuse all her eccentricities." "Do I understand that she has been presented to you?" asked the Duchess, surprised. "Well, yes-by the old Chevalier de Sainte-Foy, one of her so-called cousins rather distant, I fancy!
The door of the large, right-hand box opened, and Zibeline appeared, accompanied by the Chevalier de Sainte-Foy, an elderly gallant, carefully dressed and wearing many decorations, and whose respectable tale of years could give no occasion for malicious comment on his appearance in the role of 'cavalier servente'.

"I dismissed my cousin De Sainte-Foy, thinking that I should have no further need of his escort to-day." "That does not matter at all," the Duchess replied. "We will stop for you on our way."
