The French countess is only sight-seeing here and buying out old Ram Lal's shop.
The old thief! She brought letters to the Guv'nor! That's all! He's no special fancy to her, and he set Major Hawke on just to do the amiable.
The Guv'nor's far too old to beau the lady around.

Marry ?--not him! And Miss Nadine's just as silent as a flower in one of them gold vases.

All she does is to look pretty and keep still, poor lamb.

Her music, her books, her flowers, her birds.

And as to Major Hawke and this Madame Louison--I've the Guv'nor's own orders they are never to see Miss Nadine.
