Yet I informed some of my friends of it, solely to make it known to them, and that I might not in their eyes appear better than I was. These friends were three in number: Diderot, Grimm, and Madam d'Epinay. Duclos, the most worthy of my confidence, was the only real friend whom I did not inform of it. He nevertheless knew what I had done. By whom? This I know not.
Angeline Willetts! Whom was she with?" "A Madame Duclos, a French lady. I once spoke to her." "You did? And what did you say?" "I bade her good morning as we were passing on the main-deck stairs. But she did not answer, and I was not guilty of the impertinence again." "I see. Such, then, was the situation up to this morning. But since?
A girl had approached Madame Duclos from some place quite out of sight, and in passing her by, had slipped a note into her hand. The Frenchwoman had taken it, but in a way indicating shock. The ease which had given suppleness to her form and surety to all her movements was gone in an instant, and from the furtive way in which she sought to read the communication thus handed her Mr.
If, for instance, she could describe even in a general way the appearance of any person she may have seen advancing in the direction of the northern gallery at the moment she herself turned to enter the southern one, what a stability it would give to his theory, and what certainty to his future procedure! But he must wait for this, as he must wait for Angeline's story from Madame Duclos.
Duclos came to visit him one day, and Rousseau read aloud to him the Savoyard Vicar's Profession of Faith. "What, citizen," he cried, "and that is part of a book that they are printing at Paris! Be kind enough not to tell any one that you read this to me." Still Rousseau remained secure.
"Yes, a Madame Duclos and a Miss Willetts." The Coroner's tone altered. So much of the stranger's story was true, then. "Will you connect me with Madame Duclos. I have important news to give her. Some woman had better be with her when she receives it." "I am sorry, but I cannot do this. Madame Duclos has left." "Left? Gone out, you mean?" "No, left the hotel. She's been gone about half an hour.
Rousseau, Diderot, Helvétius, Duclos, Suard, the Abbés Galiani, Raynal, the Florentine physician Gatti, Comte de Schomberg, Chevalier de Chastellux, Saint-Lambert, Marquis de Croixmare, the different ambassadors, counts and princes, were frequent visitors In this brilliant circle her letters from Voltaire, read aloud, were always eagerly awaited.
Taylor whom we all I will not even exclude myself from this category regarded not only as a casual visitor to the museum, but a stranger to all concerned, is, on the contrary, as I think you will soon see, more closely allied to the seemingly dispassionate director than even Madame Duclos.
"I, Carleton Roberts, in face of an inquiry which is about to be held on the death of her who called herself Angeline Willetts, but whose real name is as I have since been told Angeline Duclos, wish to make this statement in connection with the same. "It was at my hand she died. I strung the bow and let fly the arrow which killed this unfortunate child.
The French post dogs had just returned from a long journey, and Monsieur Duclos said they were not fit for travel, but finally, to my great joy, he very kindly consented to let me have them, with Belfleur, a French-Indian, as driver, after they had a couple of days' rest.
