I receive my salary regularly at the end of each month--not a franc extra, though I have done many things which are not part of a courier's proper work.

Fancy the Baron trying to borrow money of me! he is an inveterate gambler.

I didn't believe it when my lady's maid first told me so--but I have seen enough since to satisfy me that she was right.

I have seen other things besides, which--well! which don't increase my respect for my lady and the Baron.

The maid says she means to give warning to leave.
