Adele will of course be there.

Shall I introduce you, or leave it to chance ?" "I would rather you left it to chance," Rupert said, "except, that as you do not desire it to be known that we have met before, it would be better that you should present me personally; but I should like to see if she will recognize me before you do so." "My daughter is a young lady of the court of his most puissant Majesty Louis the 14th," the marquis said, somewhat bitterly, "and has learned not to carry her heart upon her sleeve.

But before you show yourself near her, I will just warn her by a word that a surprise may take place in the course of the evening, and that it is not always expedient to recognize people unless introduced formally.

That will not be sufficient to give her any clue to your being here, but when she sees you she will recall my warning, and act prudently." Presently they entered the immense apartment, or rather series of apartments, in which the receptions took place.
Here were gathered all the ladies of the court; all the courtiers, wits, and nobles of France, except those who were in their places with the army.

There was little air of ceremony.
