She made a swift movement to rejoin Madame Strahlberg, but that lady was already coming toward them with the same careless ease with which she had left them together.

I hear people saying everywhere: 'How can the Nailles let that young girl associate so much with foreigners? You say they are old school-fellows, they went to the 'cours' together.
