All comparisons were to her advantage, for they rested on his own imagination, which followed his desires.
At length, having lost a sum of five-and-twenty thousand crowns at the fair of Saint-Germain, he was led to commit that crime which he has just expiated on the scaffold. For the purpose of discharging the debt he had contracted, he sent for a banker's clerk to bring him certain bank bills, which he proposed to purchase.

"Yes; and we've only got to the letter V," said Germaine, frowning at Sonia. "Princesse de Vernan Duchesse de Vauvieuse Marquess Marchioness? You've invited the whole Faubourg Saint-Germain," said Marie, shuffling the pile of envelopes with an envious air. "You'll know very few people at your wedding," said Jeanne, with a spiteful little giggle.
"Yes, but that third of an inch isn't there," murmured Perenna. Still followed by the detectives' motor cab, Don Luis returned to the Faubourg Saint-Germain; and it was then that an incident occurred which was to puzzle him greatly and throw a most extraordinary light on the article in the Echo de France.
