"Come here, my child," said M. Paindavoine, in the same tone that she had already heard him use to Rosalie, and which was very different from that which he used for his employés.
She felt encouraged and went up to him.
"What is your name?" he asked.
"Aurelie."
"Where are your father and mother?"
"How long have you been in my employ?"
"For three weeks."
"Where do you come from?"
"I have just come from Paris."
