Chapter XXXV
AN URGENT WARNING Madame came alone to luncheon the next morning, and beckoned me to her table. "Well," she said, with her black eyes fixed steadily upon mine, "you are of the same mind, eh?" I bowed. "I prefer to think," I said, "that you were joking yesterday." "So!" she answered, and began to eat.
