Esther and Lucien, as we have seen, had taken the rooms where the Comte de Granville had lived secretly on connubial terms with Mademoiselle de Bellefeuille, and whence she had fled one day, lured away by a villain. At the very moment when the public prosecutor was saying to himself, "Camusot is sure to have done something silly," the examining magistrate knocked twice at the door of his room.
You cannot think," said she, seating herself on Roger's knees; for he, overcome by irresistible feelings, had dropped into a chair. "Listen. All I can earn by my work I mean to give to the poor. You have made me rich. How I love that pretty home at Bellefeuille, less because of what it is than because you gave it me!
My uncle was master of his fortune, and had several heirs. In his lifetime, and out of pure friendship, regarding her as his niece, he gave her the little estate of Bellefeuille. As for anything else, I owe it to his liberality " "Such conduct is only worthy of a Jacobin!" said the sanctimonious Angelique.
"Did you go with him to the Courts this morning?" "Yes, madame." "And to-day is Monday?" "Yes, madame." "Then do the Courts sit on Mondays nowadays?" "Devil take you!" cried the man, as his mistress drove off after saying to the coachman: "Rue Taitbout." Mademoiselle de Bellefeuille was weeping: Roger, sitting by her side, held one of her hands between his own.
If my flesh is weaker than my spirit, let it perish. Be the arbiter of my destiny; and if I die, tell Lucien that I died to him when I was born to God." Lucien looked up at the Abbe with eyes full of tears. "You know the rooms fat Caroline Bellefeuille had, in the Rue Taitbout," the Spaniard said.
But tell me, Roger, I should like to call myself Caroline de Bellefeuille can I? You must know: is it legal or permissible?" As she saw a little affirmative grimace for Roger hated the name of Crochard Caroline jumped for glee, and clapped her hands. "I feel," said she, "as if I should more especially belong to you.
"I will undertake to deal with the ladies d'Espard, de Maufrigneuse, and de Grandlieu. "You must go to-morrow morning to see the public prosecutor. Monsieur de Granville is a man who does not live with his wife; for ten years he had for his mistress a Mademoiselle de Bellefeuille, who bore him illegitimate children didn't she?
Mademoiselle de Bellefeuille rose to withdraw. "You are at home, madame," said Granville, taking Caroline by the arm. "Stay." The Judge took up his wife in his arms, carried her to the carriage, and got into it with her. "Who is it that has brought you to the point of wishing me dead, of resolving to fly?" asked the Countess, looking at her husband with grief mingled with indignation.
Five years after Mademoiselle Caroline de Bellefeuille had taken up her abode in the pretty house in the Rue Taitbout, we again look in on one of those home-scenes which tighten the bonds of affection between two persons who truly love.
Well, go," said she, with a pretty pout, but she smiled as she looked at the clock and exclaimed joyfully, "At any rate, I have detained you a quarter of an hour!" "Good-bye, Mademoiselle de Bellefeuille," said he, with the gentle irony of love.
