"Has his Highness any visitors?" he asked as he dismounted.
The porter nodded assent.
"Who are they?" He slipped a coin into the porter's hand.
"One of the family—for so his Serene Highness calls him."
"H'm, indeed! A Vaufontaine, friend?"
"No, monsieur, a d'Avranche."
"What d'Avranche? Not Prince Leopold John?"
"No, monsieur, the name is the same as his Highness's."
"Philip d'Avranche? Ah, from whence?"
"From Paris, monsieur, with his Highness."
