We might invite Madame Berard de la Malle; there has been no gossip about her for two years. What do you think of it?" "But, my dear, since I am to go next week " This filled him with consternation. They went, both silent and moody, into the drawing-room, where Paul Vence was waiting. He often came in the evening. She extended her hand to him. "I am very glad to see you. I am going out of town.
In the proscenium boxes were the wife of the Austrian Ambassador and the Duchess Gladwin; in the amphitheatre Berthe d'Osigny and Jane Tulle, the latter made famous the day before by the suicide of one of her lovers; in the boxes, Madame Berard de La Malle, her eyes lowered, her long eyelashes shading her pure cheeks; Princess Seniavine, who, looking superb, concealed under her fan panther like yawnings; Madame de Morlaine, between two young women whom she was training in the elegances of the mind; Madame Meillan, resting assured on thirty years of sovereign beauty; Madame Berthier d'Eyzelles, erect under iron-gray hair sparkling with diamonds.
Ernesto Villa Rocca is a daily visitor at the Santos residence. A change has been inaugurated by the death of Marie Berard. There is a lovely girl there now, whose beauty shines out even by the side of Natalie the peerless. The heiress is at home. Not even to Villa Rocca does Natalie confide herself. The disappearance of Louise Moreau startles her yet.
I hastened to copy into parts five or six select passages. Ten symphonies were procured, and Albert, Berard, and Mademoiselle Bourbonois undertook the vocal part. Remeau, the moment he heard the overture, was purposely extravagant in his eulogium, by which he intended it should be understood it could not be my composition.
There is not a care on Natalie de Santos' mind. Her own child is visited, with a growing secret pleasure. She thrives in the hands of the gentle ladies of the Sacred Heart. Regularly, Marie Berard brings reports of the other child, whose existence is important for the present. Madame de Santos, discreetly veiled, finds time to observe the location and movements of the orphan.
It was also an interesting fact for geographers that the existence of a southern bay, separated from Offak by a very narrow isthmus, was established. Two officers, MM. d'Urville and de Blossville, were employed in this work, which MM. Berard, Lottin, and de Blois de la Calande connected with that accomplished by Duperrey on the coast during the cruise of the Uranie.
While this single car flies out of Paris, a "mauvais quart d'heure" awaits Ernesto de Villa Rocca, at the hands of Natalie. Bounding from her seat, she cries, "Imbecile fool, you have ruined both of us! The girl is lost now!" In an hour the Italian evolves a new plan. Marie Berard shall herself find and abduct the child!
In France, during the same period, the same favourable returns were made. The deaths in France, Berard calculated, were 1 in 30 in the year 1780, and during the eight years, from 1817 to 1828, 1 in 40, or a fourth less.
"Madame, it is a very great responsibility," begins the sly maid, now confidante. There is a strong sharp accent on the "very." "I will pay you as you never dreamed of being paid." Madame Natalie is cool and quiet. Gold, blessed gold! "It is well. I am yours for life," says Marie Berard. The two women's eyes meet. They understand one another. Feline, prehensile nerves. Then, action at once.
If in heaven and on earth Mahomet has no power, even to pray Him who made Lazarus, I pray and request Him to have mercy on thee. The dead man is then placed in a great marble tomb; Sebile is christened, marries her lover, and is crowned with him as Queen of Saxony, Helissend being in like manner given to Berard. It is now that the truly tragical part of the poem commences.
