"What did you come to do in here?"
"I came, as I did yesterday, to see."
"To see what?"
"In there ... the Turks ..."
"The Turks? What! am I surrounded by Turks?"
"Oh! they are not in the little room adjoining yours; but through this little room you can look into the large saloon where they all stay and have music ... will madame permit me to pass through?"
"Which way?"
"This way. There is a little door behind this toilet-table; I open it, go in, get up on the table and look at the Turks."
The child rolled aside the toilet-table, entered the little room, and in a few minutes came running back to me and exclaimed:
"Oh! they are so beautiful! does not madame wish to see them?"
