"Not altogether: there was always a faint odor of pipes about Uncle Brian's room that does not belong to this.","Very well, lady, very well, indeed.

Madame rose, and enquiring who was there, was answered by the voice of Ferdinand. The door was cheerfully opened. They drew their chairs round him, and endeavoured to pass the time in conversation; but fear and expectation attracted all their thoughts to one subject, and madame alone preserved her composure. The hour was now come when the sounds had been heard the preceding night, and every ear was given to attention. All, however, remained quiet, and the night passed without any new alarm.The duchess gives it up. "Yes, and a far better one, too," she says, amiably, declining to explain.
