The proof that she considered it insignificant was the fact that she had kept silent. Nougarede's eloquent appeal did not destroy these two arguments, any more than it effaced the impression produced by the money-lender relative to the theft of forty-five francs. The jury brought in a verdict of "Guilty," but without premeditation, and admitting extenuating circumstances.
Without giving her Monsieur Nougarede's reasons, I said we were obliged to conform to the counsels of those who directed the affair, and I begged her to help us. Finally she was won over, but reluctantly, and said she would do as we wished.
Of what good were these hypocrisies, and whom did they deceive? Although he had told Phillis repeatedly that an acquittal was certain, and that he had promised her he would do all he could for Florentin which he really did she did not give entirely into his hands, or into Nougarede's, the task of defending her brother, but worked with them in his defence.
In Nougarede's plan Madame Dammauville would come to court to make her declaration; he himself was a witness; they would, therefore, at a given moment, meet each other, and it was not impossible that before the court the recognition would occur with a 'coup de theatre' very different from that arranged by Nougarede.

Certainly, things would come to pass thus, and the acquittal would be carried with a high hand. He said this to himself again and again, and from the day when he put the affair in Nougarede's hands, he often went to see him, to hear him repeat it. "He cannot be condemned; can he?"
In spite of Saniel's efforts and solicitations, supported by Nougarede's, Florentin had embarked for New Caledonia, whence he wrote as often as he could.
