At this moment they were startled by loud cries from the cook, calling to Rosine.
"Good heavens!" they both cried, one as frightened as the other.
"Do you hear that, mademoiselle?" said Rosine.
"Yes."
"They want me."
"Oh!" said Mary, rising, and all ready to flee away, "can they know we are here?"
"Suppose they do," said Rosine; "what does it matter?"
"Nothing," said Mary; "but--"
"Listen!" exclaimed Rosine.
