Moiseney made the acquaintance of her unknown charmer.

Before leaving Bergun Mlle.

Moriaz wished to make a sketch, and she had gone out early with her father.Mlle.Moiseney descended to the hotel _salon_, and, espying a piano, she opened it and played a _fantasia_ by Schumann; she was a tolerably good musician.

When she had finished, Count Abel Larinski, the man with green eyes, who had entered the _salon_ without her hearing him, approached to thank her for the pleasure he had had in listening to her; but he begged to take the liberty to tell her that she failed to properly observe the movement, and had taken an _andantino_ for an _andante_.

At her solicitation he took her place at the instrument, and executed the _andantino_ as few but professional artists could do.Mlle.Moiseney, ever ready with her enthusiasm, declared that he must be a Liszt or a Chopin, and implored him to play her something else, to which he consented with good grace.
After this they talked about music and many other things.
