"Never mind, my dear friend! Delanoue has come to fetch me, and if it is nothing more than to hunt big game in the park at Rambouillet, I do not wish to miss the opportunity... So once more you must put off telling me your piece of news till my return, if I do return."
"Give me a part in your piece," Delanoue said in a whisper.
"Certainly, I promise."
I turned round to Harel.
"How did you come here?" I asked him.
"Why, in a cab, of course."
"Good! we will take it."
"What for?"
"To drive to Rambouillet."
"You must take me as far as the Odéon, then!"
