Chapter XV
“Yes, dear mother; I was at home all the time. And,” she added, as she turned to greet the Vidame and the Marquis, “I wished that all Paris should think that I was with M. de Montriveau.” The Duke flung up his hands, struck them together in despair, and folded his arms. “Then, cannot you see what will come of this mad freak?” he asked at last. But the aged Princess had suddenly risen, and stood looking steadily at the Duchess, the younger woman flushed, and her eyes fell.
