Antoine greeted me with that air of

Antoine's speech was that of a

and I fmagined that in his youth he
had taken some English butler as his
model. He used to pretend that he
knew French very imperfectly, and I
was surprised when he,now addressed
me quite fluently In that language.
“Youn have been with the armies of
