DISCLOSES A STAGE ON THE DRIVE TO PARIS.
A fortnight later, an extremely disconcerting circumstance occurred: Armandine was ten minutes behind the hour with her dinner.

But the surprise and stupefaction expressed by Victor, after glances at his watch, were not so profound as Fenellan's, on finding himself exchangeing the bow with a gentleman bearing the name of Dr.Themison.
His friend's rapidity in pushing the combinations he conceived, was known: Fenellan's wonder was not so much that Victor had astonished him again, as that he should be called upon again to wonder at his astonishment.

He did; and he observed the doctor and Victor and Nataly: aided by dropping remarks.

Before the evening was over, he gathered enough of the facts, and had to speculate only on the designs.
