Mrs. Warren’s Daughter

CHAPTER XI
9/39

'Comment, Madame,' they used to say, 'pourquoi pleurez vous?
Tout va si bien! _Quelle_ clientele, et pas chiche'-- I suppose you understand French?
However about this trip to the country, look on it as _settled_.
I'll pack up now and away we go in the afternoon.

And not to any of your measly Hotels or village inns.

Why I've got me _own_ country place and me _own_ auto.
