Apropos, did you know that M.Camille Langis had returned to Paris ?" "I did not know it, but I am not surprised.

I had surmised it; in fact, I was quite sure that he would be back about this time, perfectly sure.

Has M.Langis forgotten that you thought him too young--only twenty-three ?" "He has so little forgotten it that he has managed, I don't know how, to be at present twenty-five.
