"And where have you made the acquaintance of this young lady?"
"Here, monseigneur."
"Here? I have never received any person of that name."
"When I say here, monseigneur, I mean to say in this walk where we are."
"Speak more clearly."
"Your Royal Highness sees this wall of protection which separates the neighbouring garden?"
"Yes, go on."
"I was promenading in this walk when I saw Mlle. Antonine for the first time."
"In this garden?" replied the prince, advancing to the wall, and taking a view of it. Then he added:
"This young lady, then, lives in the next house?"
