Grivois was passionately attached to this peevish, cowardly, spiteful dog, partly perhaps from a secret sympathy with his vices. This attachment had lasted for six years, and only seemed to increase as My Lord advanced in age.
Grivois, extending her hand in that direction, exclaimed: "Great heavens! is it possible? what have I seen?" "What have you seen?" said Georgette, turning round. "What have I seen?" repeated Mrs. Grivois, with amazement. "Yes: what was it?" "Miss Adrienne." "Where?" asked Georgette. "I saw her run up the porch steps. I perfectly recognized her by her gait, by her hat, and by her mantle.
This triumph being achieved, Madame Saint-Dizier retired from the fashionable world in the full blaze of her exploit.

It is by that door, doubtless, that mademoiselle has re-entered. Oh, what shameful conduct! what will the Princess say to it! Ah! her presentiments have not yet been mistaken.
"Do not be uneasy, ladies," said the porter as he went out; "I will go and assure the good man, that he will not have to remain long in pledge." Whilst Mother Bunch was occupied in tying her parcel, in which she had placed the silver cup, fork, and spoon, Mrs. Grivois seemed to reflect deeply. Suddenly she started.
You must try and listen for we have to preserve the princess from evil influences." "I will obey, my mother." "You will also try and discover why two young orphans have been brought hither, and recommended to be severely treated, by Madame Grivois, the confidential waiting-woman of the princess." "Yes, mother."
