So saying, Madame Grivois sat down, not without some repugnance, in the old arm-chair of Dagobert's wife, and believing that she might now leave her favorite at liberty, she laid him carefully on the floor.
Moreover, in her simplicity, she knew not how to announce to the young girls that they were to accompany this lady. Mrs. Grivois guessed her embarrassment, made a sign to her to be at her ease, and said to Rose, whilst Frances was reading the letter of her confessor: "How happy your relation will be to see you, my dear young lady! "Our relation, madame?" said Rose, more and more astonished.
Grivois admit him, as the other day, by the little door of the back stairs." "He will come to-day?" "He has very important matters to communicate. He desires that both the cardinal and the bishop should be present for they have been informed of everything at Rome by the Superior General, in their quality of associates."
