"No matter," said he, recovering his coolness: "I shall know presently who is there. I must write at once to Jacques Dumoulin, to come hither immediately. He served me well, with regard to that little slut in the Rue Clovis, who made my hair stand on end with her infernal Beranger. This time, Dumoulin may serve me again. I have him in my clutches, and he will obey me."

Momeby was equipped with that merciless faculty which finds as much joy in the ninetieth time of telling as in the first. "Arnold had just come in; he was complaining of rheumatism " "There are so many things to complain of in this household that it would never have occurred to me to complain of rheumatism," murmured Clovis.

Thus, once again, there was a noble spectacle, a touching symbol!

This easy and valuable conquest was achieved and possessed by Theodoric, the eldest son of Clovis: but the remote province was separated from his Austrasian dominions, by the intermediate kingdoms of Soissons, Paris, and Orleans, which formed, after their father's death, the inheritance of his three brothers.
