"So I do not intend to ask it."
"But mademoiselle would not go to Madame Herbaut's without consulting the baron!" cried the governess.
"Certainly."
"But how could you, mademoiselle?"
"My dear Laîné, you told me a minute ago that I could count upon you."
"And I repeat it, mademoiselle."
"Very well, then, you must take me to Madame Herbaut's to-morrow evening."
"I, mademoiselle? Really, I don't know whether I am awake or only dreaming."
"You are not dreaming, so to-morrow evening you will introduce me to Madame Herbaut as one of your relatives, an orphan."
