The old waiter was just a-going to blurt out, "Mais ce n'est pas!" when Toinette stops him, and says, "Laissez donc passer ces messieurs, vieux bete;" and in they walk, the 2 jon d'arms taking their post in the hall. Master throws open the salong doar very gravely, and touching MY hat says, "Have you any orders about the cab, sir?" "Why, no, Chawls," says I; "I shan't drive out to-day."
"What can I do for you?" said the woman; "I will do all in my power; but, alas! you will march from here in two or three days." "Never mind," replied O'Brien, "we will talk the matter over by-and-by, but at present only oblige us by letting us remain in this little room; we do not wish to be seen." "Comment donc! you a conscript, and not wish to be seen! Are you, then, intending to desert?"
