When Loui» Veyron went to the station (gare) of Fontainebleau for canvases (toiles) he noticed an elderly gentleman (d'un certain âge) making arrangements with a coachman to be driven to the château. Louis Veyron concluded that he must be Princess» Thérèse's business agen^ (notaire), Bernard, and proposed to drive him. On the way ^er». chemin) he told the whole story of Wanda and her mother. They found the house in confusion (bouleversée); Wanda had disappeared (s'était sauvée). Louis Veyron read Wanda's little letter alopd to the guests and to the stranger.

At that moment was heard the noise (g-incement) of wheels and ail stood on one side (s'écartèrent) to let the mother pass with her child in her arms: "She is very ill," said she, "I hâve brought her back."

When Wanda was in bed, Princess Thérèse turned to her sister-in-law and said: "Now, go."

"When I hâve saved my child, I wîU go. Not before."

The stranger bowed low and said: " Your rights are sacred."

" Who are you ?" exclaimed the Princess, "and why do you interfère (de quoi vous mêlez-vous)?"

"I interfère in family matters, my dear sîster-in-Iaw. I am Prince André Bolinski."
