“Where are my femmes de chambre?” said she.
One of the men advanced respectfully.
“Two women wait for madame in her room.”
“Call them.” The valet obeyed.
“Where do you usually sleep?” said Jeanne to them, when they entered.
“We have no place as yet,” said one of them; “we can sleep wherever madame pleases.”
“Where are the keys?”
“Here, madame.”
“Well, for this night you shall sleep out of the house.”
The women looked at her in surprise.
