"Is he back?"
"Yes, there he is, at the end of the garden, with M. Jorancé. They are making signs to you."
Morestal and his friend were climbing up beside the waterfall and waving their hands to attract Philippe's attention. When he came under the windows, Morestal cried:
"This is what we have arranged, Philippe. You and I are dining at Jorancé's."
"But ..."
"There's no but about it; we'll explain why. I'll have the carriage got ready and Jorancé will go ahead with Suzanne."
"What about Marthe?" asked Philippe.
"Marthe can come if she likes. Come down here. We'll fix it all up."
When Philippe turned round, Suzanne was standing close against him:
"You'll come, won't you?" she said, eagerly.
