"Tiens!" said she, "wait a moment there's a parcel for you, M'sieur Müller." And so, hobbling back again, she brought out a small flat brown paper-packet sealed at both ends. "Ah, I see from the Emperor!" said Müller. "Did he bring it himself, Madame Duphôt, or did he send it by the Archbishop of Paris?" A faint grin flitted over the little old woman's withered face.
Meanwhile, our guide was peering with quick, excited gaze, through the thick foliage of the park; his fine black eyes were sweeping the parterre and terrace.
