"You shall have your one hundred thousand francs; so send, at once, these annoying papers to M. de Saint-Remy."
"Where are the one hundred thousand francs, Madame la Duchesse?"
"Have I not said you should have them, sir?"
"I must have them to-morrow, and before noon, madame; or else proceedings will be instantly commenced for the forgery."
"Well, do you pay this sum, which I will repay to you."
"But madame, it is impossible."
"But, sir, you will not tell me, I imagine, that a notary, like you, cannot find one hundred thousand francs by to-morrow morning?"
"On what securities, madame?"
"What do you mean? Explain!"
"Who will be answerable to me for this sum?"
