Chocardelle to Arcis? A little pleasure trip, no doubt; or perhaps to serve as an escort to monsieur the journalist, who is willing to give her a share in the credit account opened for him on the secret service fund for the daily quota of defamation to be supplied by contract ? — No, madame. Mile. Chocardelle has come to Arcis on busi- ness — ^to recover certain moneys. It would seem that before leaving for Africa, where he has met a glorious death, young Charles Keller signed a bill in favor o...f Mademoiselle Antonia, an order for ten thousand francs, value received in furniture, a really ingenious quibble, the furniture having obviously been received by Mademoiselle Chocardelle, who thus priced the sacrifice she made in accepting it at ten thousand francs. At any rate, the bill being nearly due, a few days after hear- ing of the death of her debtor Mile. Antonia called at the Kellers* office to know whether it would be paid. The cashier, a rough customer, as all cashiers are, replied that he did not know how Mademoiselle Antonia could have the face to pre- sent such a claim; but that in any case the Brothers Keller, his masters, were at present at Gondreville, where all the family had met on hearing the fatal news, and that he should not pay without referring the matter to them.
