Jeanne 's packing was after all a very small matter . She ignored the cupboards full of gowns , nor did she open one of the drawers of her wardrobe . She simply filled her dressing-case with a few necessaries and hid it under the table . At eight o'clock one of the servants brought her dinner on a tray . Jeanne saw with relief that it was one of the younger parlour maids , and not the Princess ' own maid . `` Mary , '' Jeanne said , taking a gold bracelet from her wrist and holding it out to her , `` I am going to give you this bracelet if you will do just a very simple thing for me . '' The girl looked at Jeanne and looked at the bracelet .
