M. de Simoneourt laughed a dry , short laugh , and twitched again at the supercilious moustache . `` I had no idea you were a philosopher , '' said he . `` Nor am I. I am a _ mauvais sujet _ -- _ mauvais _ enough , already , without seeking to become worse . '' `` Well , adieu -- I will see to this affair of the Tilbury , and desire them to let you have it by noon to-morrow . '' `` A thousand thanks . I am ashamed that you have so much trouble in the matter . _ Au revoir _ . '' ''
