'It must be
very nice for him to go about the world with a friend who franks him
everywhere.'
'But we don't know that Maulevrier franks him,' protested Mary,
blushing. 'We have no right to suppose that Mr. Hammond does not pay his
own expenses.'
'My dear child, is it possible for a young man who has no private means
to go gadding about the world on equal terms with a spendthrift like
Maulevrier--to pay for Moors in Scotland and apartments at the Bristol?'
'But they are not staying at the Bristol,' exclaimed Mary.
'They are staying at an old-established French hotel on the left side of
the Seine. They are going about amongst the students and the workmen,
dining at popular restaurants, hearing people talk. Maulevrier says it
is delightfully amusing--ever so much better than the beaten track of
life in Anglo-American Paris.'
'I daresay they are leading a Bohemian life, and will get into trouble
before they have done,' said her ladyship, gloomily.
'Maulevrier is as wild as a hawk.'
'He is the dearest boy in the world,' exclaimed Mary.
