In one corner Silvani the illustrious Silvani, still wearing the large white apron he assumes when powdering his clients was putting away his powder-puff and turning down his sleeves with a satisfied air. I stood petrified. What was going on at my aunt's? She discovered my astonishment, and without turning round she said in agitated tones: "Ah! is it you, Ernest?"

I have just left the Duchesse de W., who is going to the Ministry this evening. She sent me home in her brougham. Lisette, give me your mistress's combs, and put the curling-tongs in the fire. Madame But, my dear Silvani, my maid's name is not Lisette.
The door opens and the lady's-maid exclaims, "It is he, Madame!" Madame It is he! Monsieur It is he! The artist enters hurriedly and bows while turning his sleeves up. Madame My dear Silvani, this is unbearable. Silvani Very sorry, very, but could not come any sooner. I have been dressing hair since three o'clock in the afternoon.
I will walk up and down in the anteroom. It is like that of the Princesse de K., whose hair I dressed yesterday. Lisette, get the powder ready. Ears like yours, Madame, are not numerous. Madame You were saying Silvani Would your ear, Madame, be so modest as not to listen? Madame's hair is at length dressed.

Silvani You will understand, Madame, that if I had to remember the names of all the lady's-maids who help me, I should need six clerks instead of four. Lisette is a pretty name which suits all these young ladies very well. Lisette, show me your mistress's dress. Good. Is the ball an official one? Madame But dress my hair, Silvani.
In short, the knife to my throat to compel me to play Venus." Turning to the screen on the right she said: "Pass me the red for the lips, dear; mine are too pale." To the hairdresser, who is making his way to the door: "Silvani, go to the gentlemen who are dressing in the billiard-room, and in the Baron's dressing-room, they perhaps may need you.

When Georges caught sight of me he kissed my hand, and while the maids kneeling about me were settling the skirt, and the hairdresser was clipping the tulle of the veil, he said in a husky voice, "You look charming, dear." He was not thinking in the least of what he was saying, and I answered mechanically: "Do you think so? Not too short, the veil, Monsieur Silvani.
