Chapter VII
“I am not accustomed to rivals, sir,” Lucien answered. “Pray don’t tell her that!” cried the manager. “Coralie is just the girl to fling Camusot overboard and ruin herself in good earnest. The proprietor of the _Golden Cocoon_, worthy man, allows her two thousand francs a month, and pays for all her dresses and _claqueurs_.” “As your promise pledges me to nothing, save your play,” said Lucien, with a sultan’s airs.
