She had【2】______ read a book of mine and had written me about it. I answered, 【3】______ thanked her, and presently I received from her another letter saying that she is passing through Paris and would like to have a chat with【4】______ me; and her time was limited, and the only free moment she had was at the following Thursday; she was spending the morning at the【5】______ Luxembourg and should I give her a little luncheon at Foyot's 【6】______ afterwards? Foyot's is a restaurant at which the French senators eat, and it was far beyond my means that I had never even thought 【7】______ of going there. But I was flattered and I was very young to have 【8】______ learned to say no to a woman Few men, I may add, learn this until they are too old to make it of any consequence to a woman what they say. I had eighty francs (gold francs) to last for me the rest 【9】______ of month, and a modest luncheon should not cost more than fifteen.【10】______ If I cut out coffee for the next two weeks I could manage well enough. 【M1】
