"Why?"
"Because you have no sort of claim upon the Duc d'Orléans—you do not even know him."
"Indeed I have some excuse, I do really know him," said Louët to me. "I was a college chum of his."
"At Henri IV.?"
"Yes."
"You are certain?"
"Why, of course."
"Would he remember you?"
"I was in the same class with him; besides, if he has forgotten me, I possess a little note in his own writing that will revive his memory."
