Madame la Vicomtesse neglected to say that she was your friend, the greatest of all recommendations in my eyes." "You are delightful, Monsieur le Baron," said the Vicomtesse. "Perhaps Mr. Ritchie can tell me something of this expedition," said the Baron, his eyes growing smaller as he looked at me. "Willingly," I answered.
