in the morning
It happened to be her reception day , when the house was thrown open with a splendor that was semi-royal . She paid no attention to the absence of Comte Paz , on whom all the burden of these parade days fell . `` Good ! '' thought he , as he heard the last carriages driving away at two in the morning ; `` it was only the caprice or the curiosity of a Parisian woman that made her want to see me . '' After that the captain went back to his ordinary habits and ways , which had been somewhat upset by this incident . Diverted by her Parisian occupations , Clementine appeared to have forgotten Paz . It must not be thought an easy matter to reign a queen over fickle Paris .
