The maid was already at the door; she must have heard the excited voices.
The old nurse said to the maid, "Help me get her to the sofa." To Nanette she said, "Go away, mademoiselle; you must go away."
Nanette besought, "No, oh, no!"
But the maid said, "Please, mademoiselle, Jeanne-Marie knows," and pushed her out of the room as if she had been a child.
Nanette, terribly frightened, waited outside in the passage, walking up and down.
After a long while Francine came and told her that mademoiselle was herself again, but very tired and must rest.
From her own home, an hour later, Nanette telephoned, and was told that mademoiselle was asleep.
The next day Valérie sent asking her to come about five o'clock.
Nanette was taken first to Valérie's mother, in the drawing-room.
