“It is possible; I do not know her.”
“Well, if her majesty has really come to visit you, you are sure of her protection. It is a great step towards your fortune.”

“She gave me a hundred louis.”
“And she is not rich, particularly now.”
“That doubles my gratitude.”
“Did she show much interest in you?”
“Very great.”
