To
their
left
,
under
a
dome
of
palms
,
was
a
marble
basin
,
on
the
edges
of
which
four
large
swans
of
delftware
emitted
the
water
from
their
beaks
.
The
journalist
stopped
and
said
to
himself
:
"
This
is
luxury
;
this
is
the
kind
of
house
in
which
to
live
.
Why
can
I
not
have
one
?
"
His
companion
did
not
speak
.
He
looked
at
her
and
thought
once
more
:
"
If
I
only
had
taken
her
!

Suddenly
Suzanne
seemed
to
awaken
from
her
reverie
.
"
Come
,
"
said
she
,
dragging
Georges
through
a
group
which
barred
their
way
,
and
turning
him
to
the
right
.
Before
him
,
surrounded
by
verdure
on
all
sides
,
was
the
picture
.
One
had
to
look
closely
at
it
in
order
to
understand
it
.
It
was
a
grand
work
--
the
work
of
a
master
--
one
of
those
triumphs
of
art
which
furnishes
one
for
years
with
food
for
thought
.
Du
Roy
gazed
at
it
for
some
time
,
and
then
turned
away
,
to
make
room
for
others
.
Suzanne
's
tiny
hand
still
rested
upon
his
arm
.
She
asked
:
"
Would
you
like
a
glass
of
champagne
?
We
will
go
to
the
buffet
;
we
shall
find
papa
there
.
"
Slowly
they
traversed
the
crowded
rooms
.
Suddenly
Georges
heard
a
voice
say
:
"
That
is
Laroche
and
Mme.
du
Roy
.

He
turned
and
saw
his
wife
passing
upon
the
minister
's
arm
.
They
were
talking
in
low
tones
and
smiling
into
each
other
's
eyes
.
He
fancied
he
saw
some
people
whisper
,
as
they
gazed
at
them
,
and
he
felt
a
desire
to
fall
upon
those
two
beings
and
smite
them
to
the
earth
.
His
wife
was
making
a
laughing-stock
of
him
.
Who
was
she
?
A
shrewd
little
parvenue
,
that
was
all
.
He
could
never
make
his
way
with
a
wife
who
compromised
him
.
She
would
be
a
stumbling-block
in
his
path
.
Ah
,
if
he
had
foreseen
,
if
he
had
known
.
He
would
have
played
for
higher
stakes
.
What
a
brilliant
match
he
might
have
made
with
little
Suzanne
!
How
could
he
have
been
so
blind
?
They
reached
the
dining-room
with
its
marble
columns
and
walls
hung
with
old
Gobelins
tapestry
.
Walter
spied
his
editor
,
and
hastened
to
shake
hands
.
He
was
beside
himself
with
joy
.
"
Have
you
seen
everything
?
Say
,
Suzanne
,
have
you
shown
him
everything
?
What
a
lot
of
people
,
eh
?
Have
you
seen
Prince
de
Guerche
?
he
just
drank
a
glass
of
punch
.
"
Then
he
pounced
upon
Senator
Rissolin
and
his
wife
.
