"Ah, Madame," said the maid, disappointed at having produced so little effect, "it is precisely what I do not know. I come from meeting Monsieur Veelees upon the carrefour. He has prayed me to present the compliments of Monsieur le Duc and to ask at what hour Madame la Comtesse would be in disposition to see him." "Ah, very well," said the Countess. "I will get up, Clémentine."
"Si tôt, Madame? it is yet very morning," argued the girl with a little show of polite surprise. "That is indifferent. Go, Clémentine, and tell Monsieur le Duc I will see him at once." "At once, Madame? I run," said Clémentine, going slowly to the door. "Enfin when I am dressed. Don't you understand?" said Margaret impatiently. "Parfaitement, Madame. I will speak with Monsieur Veelees."
"Madame would she dress herself to go out, or to keep the lodging?" Madame would not go out. Was it warm? Oh yes, it was very warm. In fact it was hébétant. Would Madame see Monsieur le Duc if he called at eleven? Monseigneur's Monsieur Veelees had charged her to inquire of Madame. No, Madame would not see Monsieur le Duc this morning. But if any one called, Madame desired to be informed.
