"Let us see: I have a lot of errands to do to-day, tradesmen to see, gifts to buy for my bride that is to be; for I am to be married on Saturday, François!"
"Indeed! so much the better, monsieur."
"I am going to make a list of the things I want to buy. I shall have a tiresome day. Give me another glass, François."
"Yes, monsieur."
"I don't know just where I shall dine to-day. I think I shall not come back here."
"At Madame Monléard's, perhaps?"
"Oh, no! that would embarrass her. I will dine at a restaurant, with the first friend I happen to meet. Have you ordered the carriage?"
"Yes, monsieur; it is waiting for you."
"I am off. Pardieu! another glass before I go."
"Monsieur is very much flushed now."
