Mr. Gobard, may I have the honor of presenting you Madame De St. Bertrand, widow of the Great Army, who possesses a very considerable fortune and Mademoiselle Eloa de Wormspire, daughter of the celebrated Baron de Wormspire, to whom the great man has bequeathed an income of 50 thousand pounds in his testament... As these ladies are burning with desire to make your acquaintance, I invited them to dine at your home this evening. You'll take us to the opera and we'll have a nice evening... Mr. Gobard, I must warn you that these ladies harbor certain intentions towards you...
