"I have n't any," I said. "At present I 'm depending on the Princess for one. She 's at the Hotel Majestic Palace, Cannes; but from what my friend Pam—the Comtesse de Nesle—says, I fancy she does n't stop long in any town. It was the Comtesse de Nesle who got me the place. She 's the only one who knows where I 'm going, because—after a fashion, I 'm running away to be the Princess's companion."

"Running away from the Man?"

"Yes; also from my relatives who 're sure it 's my duty to be his companion. So you see I can't give you their address. I 've ceased to have any right to it. And now I really think I had better go back to bed."
