The things we do!

--
(Hurriedly.) I am going to-night with grandmamma to the Minister of the
Interior, and then to the Russian ball; and to-morrow to the Tuileries.
We dine at the Embassy first; and on Sunday, I suppose, we shall go to
the Rue d'Aguesseau. I can hardly come here before Mon---. Madam de
Florac! Little Leonore is very like you--resembles you very much. My
cousin says he longs to make a drawing of her.
Madame de Florac. My husband always likes that I should be present at
his dinner. Pardon me, young people, that I have been away from you for a
moment.
[Exeunt CLIVE, ETHEL, and Madame DE F. into the house.
