Monsieur Segotin's Story

I promise you, before I had my two little ones clinging about my neck. But let us avoid the sentimental as we have avoided the sensational."

So saying, M. Segotin rose, handed me a card with his address upon it, pressed both my hands warmly, raised his hat and sauntered away from me down the brightly-lit hall, humming a brave little air.

At the door he turned to wave a hand to me and smile adieu.
