"To you, sir?" said Andrée in French, forgetting herself; "we do not even know your name."
"You speak French," exclaimed the young man, "and you have been condemning me all this time to blunder on in German!"
"Excuse us, sir," said the elder lady, coming to Andrée's rescue, "but you must see, that though not perhaps foreigners, we are strangers in Paris, and above all, out of our places in a hackney coach. You are sufficiently a man of the world to see that we are placed in an awkward position. I feel assured you are generous enough to believe the best of us, and to complete the service you have rendered, and above all, to ask us no questions."
