Has my son come in, Florent?
gpt
I think not, monsieur; but I will go to his room and see; sometimes he doesn't wake me when he comes in.

Ah, no! he has not come in! said Monsieur Vermoncey to himself, nervously pacing the floor.

And it's after five o'clock. He doesn't usually pass the whole night away from home, without telling me. Probably some card party which lasted till morning.--Yes, I know that I am foolish to worry, but I cannot help it. A man endangers his life so recklessly sometimes! Intrigues with women are often dangerous! All husbands are not disposed to allow themselves to be betrayed, and say nothing. But it seems that the more obstacles there are to making a woman's acquaintance, the more determined we are to possess her.

Monsieur Albert has not come home since yesterday,

Very well, Florent. I am going to my room; but come and tell me as soon as my son comes in.
