"Monsieur, you are too good, and I shall not fail. I hope, then, that out of the first money which comes into the treasury—"
"You will be paid. I give you my word."
"Monsieur, this very day my petition shall be addressed to the regent."
"And to-morrow you will be paid."
"Ah, monsieur, what goodness!"
"Go, Monsieur Buvat, go; your ward expects you."
"You are right, monsieur, but she will lose nothing by having waited for me, since I bring her such good news. I may have the honor of seeing you again, monsieur. Ah! pardon, would it be an indiscretion to ask your name?"
"Au revoir! Monsieur Philippe!"
"Adieu! Monsieur Buvat. One instant—I must give orders that they are to allow you to pass."
