M. des Amis sauntered over to him-moving, thought Andre-Louis, with extraordinary grace and elasticity-and stood in talk with him whilst also assisting him to complete his toilet.
At last the young gentleman took his departure, mopping himself with a fine kerchief that left a trail of perfume on the air. M. des Amis closed the door, and turned to the applicant, who rose at once.
"Where have you studied?" quoth the fencing-master abruptly.
"Studied?" Andre-Louis was taken aback by the question. "Oh, at Louis Le Grand."
M. des Amis frowned, looking up sharply as if to see whether his applicant was taking the liberty of amusing himself.
"In Heaven's name! I am not asking you where you did your humanities, but in what academy you studied fencing."
"Oh-fencing!" It had hardly ever occurred to Andre-Louis that the sword ranked seriously as a study.
