umping along the carpet. She called her
husband into No. 37 and kissed him rather violently in front of Madame
Piriac and Miss Ingate, and showed him the note. Then she whispered to him,
smiling.

"What's that you're whispering?" Miss Ingate archly demanded.

"Nothing. I was only asking him to come and help me to open my big trunk. I
want something out of it. Au revoir, you two."

"What do you think of it all, Madame Piriac?" Miss Ingate inquired when the
pair were alone.

"'All the sensations there are!' 'Everything!'" Madame Piriac repeated
Audrey's phrases. "One is forced to conclude that she has an appetite for
life."

"Yes," said Miss Ingate, "she wants the lion's share of it, that's what she
wants. No mistake. But of course she's young."

"I was never young like that."

"Neither was I! Neither was I!" Miss Ingate asseverated. "But something
vehy, vehy strange has come over the world, if you ask me."
