"Why, I met the Juzencourts, and they said I was to be sure to tell grandmamma that 'The Norinière' is to be inhabited."
"Ah, Clagny has sold it?"
"No; he is coming back to it. It appears that he is coming every summer."
"Ah, so much the better. Grandmamma will be very glad of that."
"Yes, she likes him very much. I do not know him, this M. de Clagny, but I have often heard about him."
"Don't you remember seeing him a long time ago?"
"Why, no!"
"Well, he was your godfather, anyhow!"
"You are dreaming! Uncle Alexis is my godfather."
"Your Uncle Jonzac is the godfather of Denyse, but it was M. de Clagny who was the godfather of Bijou. Yes, he said once, speaking of you when you were very little, the Bijou—and the name suited you so well that you have had it ever since."
