The Cure viewed with consternation the invasion of their quiet.
Hurriedly passing down the Rue de la Paix, the stately Column Vendome in the vista, the Harris party entered M. Worth's establishment, to which women, from actress to empress, make pilgrimages from the end of the world. What a medley of people were already assembled!
