"Good-morning, monsieur! do you recognize me?" said Fanny, with a smile.
"Ah! madame, I must be short-sighted to the last degree to have forgotten your enchanting face after I had seen it once!"
"But this mourning changes one a good deal."
"Whether you wear black, or pink, or nothing at all, I will answer for it that you will always be charming. Indeed, I should prefer the last."
"You are very gallant, Monsieur Cherami!"
"I am delighted to find that madame remembers my name."
"I have not forgotten it, monsieur; indeed, I was very anxious to see you."
"Really! If I could have dreamed of such a thing, madame, I would have done myself the honor to call upon you long since."
"I wanted first of all to thank you for your kindness in going to my father's to perform an unpleasant errand."
"Oh! let us say no more of that, I beg! Have you any other commission to intrust to me? I am at your service, I have nothing to do; command me."
