CHAPTER 5: A New Friend.
The baron sent a servant to request his daughter to come down.
"I am going now, with Monsieur Kennedy, to the palace, Anne," he said, as she entered.

"I do not suppose that we shall be absent very long.

I have been talking matters over with him, and I think that he agrees with my view of them." "But I have hardly spoken to him, yet, father!" "You will have an opportunity of doing so, when we return.
Monsieur Kennedy will, of course, dine with us.

After the service that he has rendered to us, we have a right to consider him as belonging to us." "Had I had an idea of this," Desmond said, as they walked up the hill towards the palace gate, "I should have put on my full uniform.

This undress is scarcely the attire in which one would appear before the King of France, who is, as I have heard, most particular in matters of etiquette." "He is so," the baron said.
