"You defend yourself, monsieur, when I do not accuse."
"Well! I will only say that I am a gentleman of good rank, and able to be of use to you."
"Say no more, monsieur; thanks to the master whom I serve, I have no need of assistance from any one."
"Your master, who is he?"
"I have asked no questions, monsieur."
"It is true."
"Besides, your wound begins to inflame; I advise you to talk less."
"You are right; but I want my surgeon."
"I am returning to Paris, as I told you: give me his address."
