You see he had the time; you shouldn't have stayed away so long. It declares distinctly his wife's murderous intent." "I should like to see it," Madame de Bellegarde observed. "I thought you might," said Newman, "and I have taken a copy." And he drew from his waistcoat pocket a small, folded sheet. "Give it to my son," said Madame de Bellegarde.
"By George, I think he will make a Black Republican out of Tom, if he keeps on. Puss and Jack have been talking about him all summer, until I am out of patience. I reckon he has brains. But suppose he has addressed fifty Lincoln meetings, as they say, is that any reason for making much of him? I should not have him at Bellegarde. I am surprised that Mr. Russell allows him in his house.
This little group had divided as the marquis came up, and M. de Bellegarde stepped forward and stood for an instant silent and obsequious, with his hat raised to his lips, as Newman had seen some gentlemen stand in churches as soon as they entered their pews. The lady, indeed, bore a very fair likeness to a reverend effigy in some idolatrous shrine.
"My brother means that with the lapse of time you may get used to the change" and Valentin paused, to light another cigarette. "What change?" asked Newman in the same tone. "Urbain," said Valentin, very gravely, "I am afraid that Mr. Newman does not quite realize the change. We ought to insist upon that." "My brother goes too far," said M. de Bellegarde. "It is his fatal want of tact again.
Bellegarde himself, who attributed this attempt to deprive him of his government to the Baron de Luz who through the influence of Bassompierre had been reinstated in the favour of the Queen, and had consequently abandoned the faction of the Guises, of whose projects and designs he was cognizant, in order to espouse the interests and to serve the ambition of the Marquis d'Ancre vowed vengeance against the recreant baron, and complained bitterly to his friends of the insult to which he had been subjected through this unworthy agency.
Virginia had been at home but a week. She had seen the change in Clarence and exulted. The very first day she had surprised him on the porch at Bellegarde with "Hardee's tactics". From a boy Clarence had suddenly become a man with a Purpose, and that was the Purpose of the South. "They have dared to nominate that dirty Lincoln," he said. "Do you think that we will submit to nigger equality rule?
Young Madame de Bellegarde had always the same manners; she was always preoccupied, distracted, listening to everything and hearing nothing, looking at her dress, her rings, her finger-nails, seeming rather bored, and yet puzzling you to decide what was her ideal of social diversion. Newman was enlightened on this point later.
I advised Bellegarde to make his will and to repent of his sins before going on such an errand, for Madame Cheverny has the spirit of all the Kirkpatricks in her beautiful body, and is dangerous when roused." While Jacques Haret was speaking, I recovered my composure, although my soul was in storm and tumult, but I could not ask one of the thousand questions burning upon my lips.
Urbain uttered two words which Newman but half heard, but of which the sense came to him as it were in the reverberation of the sound, "Le miserable!" "You show little respect for the living," said Madame de Bellegarde, "but at least respect the dead. Don't profane don't insult the memory of my innocent son." "I speak the simple truth," Newman declared, "and I speak it for a purpose.
It is so grave a matter that the police, after another search, will arrest Mme. Bellegarde secretly and, if possible, scare her into confession. We have no time to lose. It must be done, too, in some simple way. For her sake we must avoid violence, and whatever is done must be done by us." "But, Merton, how can we get into the house, even if we enter the garden unseen?"
