The tea was served, as I suppose it is served in Russia, very weak, with a plentiful admixture of milk and accompaniment of biscuits glacés. Madame de Mourairef did the honours in an inexpressibly graceful manner; and I observed that there was a delightful intimacy between her and her maid Penelope, that quite upset my ideas of northern serfdom.
That box was eloquent with the care with which he had studied her slightest desires and caprices. Marrons glaces, and Langtrys, and certain chocolates which had received the stamp of her approval and she could not so much as eat one! The porter made the berths. And there had been a time when she had asked nothing more of fate than to travel in a sleeping-car!
I went on ruthlessly: "Talking of which, did you notice the detectives?" "No," she said. "What about them?" "Wall eyed, my dear, all of them. Cost me two-and-six extra, but I thought it was worth it. Worries the thieves awfully, you know. They can't tell whether they're watching the fish-slice or the 'Longfellow'. And all the time they're really counting the marron glaces.
"Quand j'aurai de la peine aux Carmelites," says unhappy Louise, about to retire from these magnificent courtiers and their grand Galerie des Glaces, "je me souviendrai de ce que ces gens la m'ont fait souffrir!" A troop of Bossuets inveighing against the vanities of courts could not preach such an affecting sermon.
'But he's been eating marrons glacés every day for a fortnight. Haven't you, sweetest? said Geraldine. 'I can believe it, Aunt Annie murmured, 'from his face. 'Oh dear! Women! Women!

So, as we pursued our way along the Galerie des Glaces, I extracted their promise. "By Jove!" said Whistlewick, when this was done; "look at that pagoda, or sedan chair, or whatever it is, just where those fellows set it down, and not one of them near it! I can't imagine how they tell fortunes so devilish well. Jack Nuffles I met him here tonight says they are gypsies where are they, I wonder?

He said that it was. It seemed a divine prophecy of retribution.
"No, thank you, Adrien, I know your idea of slavery," she said. "You would hand it over to Mr. Vermont, and he does quite enough of your work already."
