Chapter IX
My triumph increased. I removed my hand and appeared only to be intent upon Coralie's letter. "Perhaps we each have friends which might bore the other, so when you want to have parties tell me, and I will arrange to go out, and when I want to, I will tell you. In that way we can never have any jars." "Thank you, but I have no friends except the Duchesse, or very humble people who don't want to come to parties."
