"The day is much too disagreeable to venture out in, unless one has proper conveyance.

Here, alas, no conveyance may be had." Louise tried other tactics.
"I have no money, but several valuable jewels," she said, meaningly.

"I am quite sure they will obtain for me a conveyance." "You are wrong, ma'm'selle; there is no conveyance to be had!" persisted the old woman, more sternly.
"Then I shall walk." "It is impossible." "Where is this place situated?
How far is it from New York?
How near am I to a street-car, or to a train ?" "I cannot tell you." "But this is absurd!" cried Louise.

"You cannot deceive me for long.

I know this is Diana Von Taer's house, and I shall hold Diana Von Taer responsible for this enforced imprisonment." "That," said Madame Cerise, coldly, "is a matter of indifference to me.
But ma'm'selle must understand one thing, she must not leave this house." "Oh, indeed!" "At least, until the weather moderates," added the woman, more mildly.
She picked up the tray, went to the door and passed out.
