Dawson
Jarrot’s Stores
Deauville – a world-famous seaside
resort in the North of France
a rich Argentine
Paris
Words and expressions
My heart sank a little
I’d sooner you talked about yourself
some woman had thrown them over at
the last moment
who’s quite a celebrity in his way
who rather fancied herself on her
pearls
I can’t help that
I made a good bargain
the count had made a bloomer
she turned a trifle pale
she could hardly have had the nerve to
wear it tonight if it were stolen
sneaking a valuable string of pearls
a scuffle
a smothered shriek
ominous
a suspicion of tartness in her manner
the clasp was loose
to be restrung
as pleased as Punch
blue the whole three hundred pounds
picked up a rich Argentine
I cut her dead
the long and short of it is
far and away
the smartest cocotte
