There was so much friendship in the face of the golden-haired Life Guard that Lecour at once raised the question uppermost in his mind. "Baron," said he, "tell me, who is Madame de la Roche Vernay?" Grancey's eyes twinkled intelligently. "It is an affair, then? I can keep secrets." "An affair only on my unfortunate side," Germain admitted gloomily. "As on that of many another.
The next turn was made by de Lotbinière, who entered in his journal his intention of now speaking to the following persons, in their order The Minister, Répentigny, The Chevalier de Villerai, Vaudreuil, The Genealogist of France, The Prince de Poix, The Maréchale de Noailles, The Baroness de la Roche Vernay.
A little cry of delight leaped involuntarily from the lips of the sweet la Roche Vernay and she smiled exquisitely on Germain, who, in that moment, wildly lost his heart. "Who is this Monsieur de Répentigny, Chevalier? tell me," asked the Princess, who was holding her little evening court in full circle on the balustraded terrace behind the château.
Cyrène de la Roche Vernay touched her lovely hand quickly upon the table and turned to him with a delighted little laugh. "As for me, I shall be glad if these tiresome fine clothes are ever to be banished," she murmured, twisting her wine-glass.

We let her loose the other day on Du Vernay, our doctor, and she beat him at anatomy."
The present generation knows him and his works not at all; but how a past generation used to read and reread "Mr. Barnes of New York," and "Mr. Potter of Texas," and "Miss Nobody of Nowhere," and "That Frenchman," which should have been called "M. De Vernay of Paris." Those were the earliest and the "big four."
When only thirteen her hand was sought by an ambitious financier, Trochu, for his son, Baron la Roche Vernay, who was then with his regiment in Dominica.
