“My little mamzelle, I don’t think you will find Monsieur Dalville very easy.”
“Why not, monsieur? I am ready to go anywhere—no matter where.”
“I tell you it’s too late. How do you expect to find the address of a man who’s going round the world?”
“What’s that?—Monsieur Auguste——”
“He started off this very day mit my friend Pertrand.”
“Gone!”
“Ach ja! He got ruined here, so he’s going to try to make a fortune somewhere else.”
“He has gone away! You don’t know where he is?”
“Yes, I do—don’t I tell you he’s gone round the world?”
“Oh! how unlucky! I have come too late!”
