At four o'clock, which is the hour for the entrée of those who escape from their homes to fling themselves on the sanctuary of the club, Rankin, the architect, arrived with Stibo, the fashionable painter of fashionable women, who brought with him the atmosphere of pleasant soap and an exclusive, smiling languor.
The naïveté of Robert's social view, and the mobility of his temper, made him easily responsive. He had just enjoyed half an hour's brilliant talk with two or three of the keenest and most accomplished men in Europe. Catherine had slipped out of his sight meanwhile, and the impression of their entreé had been effaced.
Sir Roger is among us. The door has been left ajar, and he, hearing the merry clamor, and having always the entrée to mother's room, has entered. By the pained smile on his face, I can see that he has heard. "You are right, my boy," he says, quite gently, looking kindly at the unfortunate Bobby; "she does look very very young!"
"Then let's drop down to the theater," suddenly interposed Mrs. Sharpe. "You can talk your dust-dry business there just as well as here. Billy, telephone down to the Orpheum and see if they have a box." Bobby was far too unsuspecting to understand that he had been deliberately trapped.

She flashed a glance at her sister, and smiled half-ironically. "I could tell you plenty," she said softly. "He was a startling fellow, and went far sometimes; but you look as if you could go farther." Gaston helped himself to an entree, wondering whether a knife was used with sweetbreads. "How far could he go?" he asked.
"Number ," exclaimed Henry in surprise; "you must be mistaken that is Mrs. Duffield's." "Then I am quite right, for it is at Mrs. Duffield's that I expect to meet my friend this evening." With some curiosity to know what friend of George could have so completely the entrée of the fashionable Mrs. Duffield's house as to make an appointment there, Henry proposed to go with him and show him the way.
By the time we had finished our entree, which happened to be lamb cutlets and green peas, and had begun our roast, which was chicken and ham, I remember, they had put wreaths at all the windows, hung Japanese lanterns on the balcony and in the oak-tree, and transformed the house into a blossoming bower.
He was followed, in solemn procession, by all those dignitaries of Church and State who had enjoyed the privilege of the Grand Entrée. He then issued the orders of the day, after which all withdrew excepting some of his children, whom a royal decree had legitimatized and raised to the rank of princes, with their former tutors or governors.
