I dreamily disintegrated caramels from their sticky tissue-paper wrappings for Carlotta's consumption. After a while unconquerable drowsiness crept over me; and a little later I had an odd sense of perfect quietude. I was lying amid moss and violets.
Nothing escaped Carlotta's eyes the younger girl's radiance, her confusion, even her operating room uniform and what it signified. How she hated her, with her youth and freshness, her wide eyes, her soft red lips! And this engagement she had the uncanny divination of fury. "I was going to ask you to do something for me," she said shortly; "but I've changed my mind about it.
The griffon, who had been sniffing at Carlotta's skirts, suddenly leaped into her lap. With a swift movement of her hand she swept the poor little creature, as if it had been a noxious insect, yards away. "Carlotta!" I cried angrily, springing to my feet. The ladies who owned the beast rushed to their whining pet and looked astonished daggers at Carlotta.
The only unusual thing was the presence of M. Richard and M. Moncharmin in Box Five. Carlotta's friends thought that, perhaps, the managers had wind, on their side, of the proposed disturbance and that they had determined to be in the house, so as to stop it then and there; but this was unjustifiable supposition, as the reader knows.

And it's all the things I'm beginning to understand." I patted her head and lit a cigarette and wandered about the room, rather puzzled by Carlotta's psychological development, and yet stirred by a faint thrill at her recognition of my affection.
"It was the last time, sweet Lady, that our Janus might feel Carlotta's power; for soon he returned from Alexandria to take possession of Cyprus by order of the Sultan, our Suzerain, upheld by his armies and his treasure.
"Frankness I may say embarrassing frankness is one of the young lady's drawbacks." He looked greatly relieved. I acquainted him with Carlotta's antecedents, and outlined the part I had played in the story. "Then," said he, "I will see the child back to her home. I will take her there myself.
