Chapter IV
“Monsieur if you will do us the honor to come and see us, you will give as much pleasure to my husband as to myself. Our salon is the only one in Saumur where you will find the higher business circles mingling with the nobility. We belong to both societies, who meet at our house simply because they find it amusing. My husband--I say it with pride--is as much valued by the one class as by the other. We will try to relieve the monotony of your visit here.
