"You deceived me, cousin?"
"Shamefully," she said with a laugh, "as you shall judge. I am leading you to a spot where we are expected."
"Where you are expected, you mean."
"No, because it is you they want especially to see."
"I confess, cousin, that I do not understand you at all: I know no one in this country."
"Are you quite sure of that, my dear cousin?" she asked with a mocking air.
"Well, I believe so at least."
"Then, you are beginning to doubt."
"You seem so sure of your fact."
"I am so, indeed: the person who expects you, not only knows you, but is a friend of yours."
