Six months in the capital, for a man of the Doctor's antecedents and relations, implied no less a calamity than total ruin. Anastasie had saved the remainder of his fortune by keeping him strictly in the country.
Anastasie bowed her head, Mme. de Nucingen flung her arms about her, kissed her tenderly, and held her sister to her heart. "I shall always love you and never judge you, Nasie," she said. "My angels," murmured Goriot faintly. "Oh, why should it be trouble that draws you together?" This warm and palpitating affection seemed to give the Countess courage.
'But this inhibition, said the Doctor, 'this embargo it cannot possibly apply to me? 'To all of us, Anastasie assured him. 'My cherished one, Desprez protested, 'you must have misunderstood. It cannot apply to me. He would naturally come to me. 'Henri, she said, 'it does; I swear to you it does. 'This is a painful, a very painful circumstance, the Doctor said, looking a little black.
But between the Doctor's garden and the one on the right hand there was that very picturesque contrivance a common well; the door on the Desprez' side had chanced to be unbolted, and now, through the arched aperture a man's bearded face and an arm supporting a lantern were introduced into the world of windy darkness, where Anastasie concealed her woes.
One such missile grazed the Doctor's ear; another descended on the bare foot of Aline, who instantly made night hideous with her shrieks. By this time the hamlet was alarmed, lights flashed from the windows, hails reached the party, and the Doctor answered, nobly contending against Aline and the tempest. But this prospect of help only awakened Anastasie to a more active stage of terror.
On the morning of the next day, the Doctor, a mere spectre of himself, was brought back in the custody of Casimir. They found Anastasie and the boy sitting together by the fire; and Desprez, who had exchanged his toilette for a ready-made rig-out of poor materials, waved his hand as he entered, and sank speechless on the nearest chair. Madame turned direct to Casimir. "What is wrong?" she cried.
You will certainly give yourself a false digestion. Anastasie controlled herself. 'You know how willing I am to humour you, she said, 'in all reasonable matters. But on this point 'My dear love, interrupted the Doctor, eager to prevent a refusal, 'who wished to leave Paris?
Anastasie, as she pursued to capture and reassure the victim, found time to send one Parthian arrow "Casimir, you are a brute!" "My brother," said Desprez, with the greatest dignity, "you take upon yourself a licence " "Desprez," interrupted Casimir, "for Heaven's sake be a man of the world. You telegraph me to leave my business and come down here on yours.
"Where are the old days when we slid down the sacks in the great granary?" "That is not all, father," said Anastasie in Goriot's ear. The old man gave a startled shudder. "The diamonds only sold for a hundred thousand francs. Maxime is hard pressed. There are twelve thousand francs still to pay. He has given me his word that he will be steady and give up play in future.
That is what comes of having your children well brought up. I could not go to school again at my time of life. Mon Dieu! These doctors! these doctors! Anastasie! Delphine! If I could only see them! Send for the police, and make them come to me! Justice is on my side, the whole world is on my side, I have natural rights, and the law with me. I protest!
