Silviane was very drunk, but her virginal expression had returned to her face; whilst Rosemonde seemed feverish with vicious curiosity.

Duthil, whom the scene amused, now had but one thought, that of seeing Silviane home; so calling to Massot, who was approaching, he asked him where he should find a cab-rank.

Rosemonde, however, at once offered her carriage, which was waiting in an adjacent street.
She would set the actress down at her door, said she, and the deputy at his; and such was her persistence in the matter that Duthil, greatly vexed, was obliged to accept her offer.
"Well, then, till to-morrow at the Madeleine," said Massot, again quite sprightly, as he shook hands with the Princess.
"Yes, till to-morrow, at the Madeleine and the Comedie." "Ah! yes, of course!" he repeated, taking Silviane's hand, which he kissed.

"The Madeleine in the morning and the Comedie in the evening...
.

We shall all be there to applaud you." "Yes, I expect you to do so," said Silviane.
