"Do you know the name of my enemy?"
"No, monsieur."
"What! you saved his life, and he did not tell you his name?"
"I did not ask him."
"You did not ask him?"
"I have saved your life also, monsieur; have I asked you your name? But, in exchange, you both know mine."
"I see, monsieur, there is nothing to be learned from you; you are as discreet as brave."
"I observe that you say that in a reproachful manner; but, on the contrary, you ought to be reassured, for a man who is discreet with one person will be so with another."
"You are right! your hand, M. de Carmainges."
Ernanton did quietly as he was asked.
