It's you, is it, monsieur? she said.
gpt
But I remember, you were my chevalier. Well! what news do you bring me?
human
It is, in very truth, as your chevalier that I present myself, madame; you ordered me to avenge your wrongs by fighting with Albert, and I have obeyed you.
gpt
Oho! indeed! you have fought a duel with him, have you?
human
Yes, madame.
gpt
When was that?
human
This morning, at Saint-Mandé. A thousand witnesses can inform you that I went there with Albert.
gpt
And what did you fight with?
human
Swords, madame.
gpt
Well! what was the result?
human
I fulfilled your wishes to the utmost, madame; you wished me to kill Albert, and I have killed him--a sword-thrust in the breast; he died on the spot. I shed tears over my victory, I am not ashamed to admit it.--But as I placed my hand on the poor fellow's heart, to find out whether he still breathed, I felt this cigar in his pocket, and took it. You desired a token of my victory: this is the only one that I can offer you.
