Vautrin Well, my dear friend, I know you will be glad to hear it, she discovered nothing.

Vautrin
You also had the pleasure?
Saint-Charles
On my honor, yes!
Vautrin (laughing)
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Saint Charles (laughing)
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Vautrin
We can safely laugh now, for I suppose you left her there?
Saint-Charles Immediately, as you did. I see that we are both come to throw away our money in Paris, and we have done well; but it seems to me, baron, that you have accepted a very secondary position, though one which attracts notice.
Vautrin Ah! thank you, chevalier. I hope, however, we may still be friends for many a day.
