Bianchon served Lousteau well by making fun of the Public Prosecutor, of Monsieur Gravier, and of Gatien; there was a tone of such genuine contempt in his remarks, that Madame de la Baudraye dared not take the part of her adorers. "I perfectly understand the position you have maintained," said the doctor as they crossed the Loire.
I saw him crush a silver dish last night as if it had been made of wax; there seems to be something extraordinary going on in his mind just now, to judge by his face. His life is so mysterious that it must be worth studying. Oh! you may laugh, Bianchon; I am not joking." "The man is a subject, is he?" said Bianchon; "all right! I will dissect him, if he will give me the chance."
"Consideration! So that is what you call it in these parts?" said the journalist with a smile. "I should suppose Madame de la Baudraye to have too much good taste to trouble her head about that ugly ape," said Bianchon.
The doctor was not a little surprised to find Mademoiselle Lorrain at Frappier's. Brigaut told him of the scene that had just taken place at the Rogrons'; but even so the doctor did not at first suspect the horror of it, nor the extent of the injury done. Martener gave the address of the celebrated Horace Bianchon, and Brigaut started for Paris by the diligence.
"Young man and you too, Bianchon let me beg you to maintain a stern demeanor; be thorough diplomatists, an easy manner without exaggeration, and watch the faces of the two criminals, you know, without seeming to do so out of the corner of your eye, or in a glass, on the sly. This morning we will hunt the hare, this evening we will hunt the Public Prosecutor."
Bianchon was with him. "Good-evening, father," said Eugene. The old man turned his glassy eyes on him, smiled gently, and said: "How is she?" "She is quite well. But how are you?" "There is nothing much the matter." "Don't tire him," said Bianchon, drawing Eugene into a corner of the room. "Well?" asked Rastignac. "Nothing but a miracle can save him now.
Finally, during the third month, he met one of his school friends, a lieutenant in the corps of physicians, modest as all young doctors are: he had had his epaulettes one day only, and could give the order to fire! "For a young woman, a young doctor," said our Adolphe to himself. And he proposed to the future Bianchon to visit his wife and tell him the truth about her condition.
Next morning Bianchon thought the symptoms more hopeful, but the patient's condition demanded continual attention, which the two students alone were willing to give a task impossible to describe in the squeamish phraseology of the epoch.
"There's Poiret," suggested Bianchon. "Oh! Poiret shall pose as Poiret. He can be a garden god!" cried Vautrin; "his name means a pear " "A sleepy pear!" Bianchon put in. "You will come in between the pear and the cheese." "What stuff are you all talking!" said Mme. Vauquer; "you would do better to treat us to your Bordeaux; I see a glimpse of a bottle there.
The physician had explained by a single wink that he meant to do Lousteau a good turn. "You have been attracted by Etienne," said Bianchon to Dinah; "he has appealed strongly to your imagination; last night we were talking about you. He loves you. But he is frivolous, and difficult to hold; his poverty compels him to live in Paris, while everything condemns you to live at Sancerre.
