"Yes, from the points of my toes to the roots of my hair."
"Well, then, my dear captain, tell me, since there is no effect without a cause, as you say, what was the cause of your disguise?"
"What disguise?"
"That which you wore when you came to visit Dom Modeste."
"How was I disguised?"
"As a bourgeois."
"Ah! true."
"Will you tell me?"
"Willingly, if you will tell me why you were disguised as a monk. Confidence for confidence."
"Agreed," said Borromée.
