The student repeated the Baroness' remarks with some embellishments of his own, the old man listening the while as though he heard a voice from Heaven. "Dear child!" he said. "Yes, yes, she is very fond of me. But you must not believe all that she tells you about Anastasie. The two sisters are jealous of each other, you see, another proof of their affection. Mme. de Restaud is very fond of me too.
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 married the animal side of my nature, dear; and it is on the spiritual side that I find my affinity for Jean-Marie. So much so, that, to be perfectly frank, I stand in some awe of him myself. You will easily perceive that I am announcing a calamity for you. Do not," he broke out in tones of real solicitude "do not give way to tears after a meal, Anastasie.
I will kill him," cried Goriot. "Yesterday he sent to tell me to come to his room. I went. ... 'Anastasie, he said in a voice oh! such a voice; that was enough, it told me everything 'where are your diamonds? 'In my room 'No, he said, looking straight at me, 'there they are on that chest of drawers and he lifted his handkerchief and showed me the casket.
All through the meal, she and the Doctor made and unmade fairy plans. They bobbed and bowed and pledged each other. Their faces ran over with smiles; their eyes scattered sparkles, as they projected the Doctor's political honours and the lady's drawing-room ovations. 'But you will not be a Red! cried Anastasie. 'I am Left Centre to the core, replied the Doctor.
'And now, he resumed, 'to investigate this crime. Let us proceed by induction. Anastasie, do you know anything that can help us? Anastasie knew nothing. 'Or you, Jean-Marie? 'Not I, replied the boy steadily. 'Good, returned the Doctor. 'We shall now turn our attention to the material evidences.
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?
Should I return to Paris, I should ruin myself gambling; nay, I go further I should break the heart of my Anastasie with infidelities. This was too much for Jean-Marie. That a place should so transform the most excellent of men transcended his belief. Paris, he protested, was even an agreeable place of residence. 'Nor when I lived in that city did I feel much difference, he pleaded.
'Poor dear boy, she had said once, 'how sad it is that he should be so stupid! She had never repeated that remark, for the Doctor had raged like a wild bull, denouncing the brutal bluntness of her mind, bemoaning his own fate to be so unequally mated with an ass, and, what touched Anastasie more nearly, menacing the table china by the fury of his gesticulations.
Anastasie was aware of defeat; she struck her colours instantly. 'You will break my heart, she sighed. 'Not in the least, said he. 'You will feel a trifling inconvenience for a month, just as I did when I was first brought to this vile hamlet; then your admirable sense and temper will prevail, and I see you already as content as ever, and making your husband the happiest of men.
