"The same."
"Good! good! My faith, she is pretty. And this ugly fellow who has given her his arm?"
"That is the Citizen Morand, her husband's partner, and chasseur in Dixmer's company."
Santerre approached Geneviève.
"Good-day, Citizeness," said he.
Geneviève made an effort.
"Good-day, Citizen General," replied she, smiling.
Santerre felt flattered by both title and smile.
"And what brings you here, fair patriot?" continued Santerre.
