"Let me go or I shall cry out." "Cry away," replied Bobichel. "You must know best yourself whether you desire the interference of the police or not." Rolla thought of the well-filled pocket-book and kept silent.
"I must look at that chain," he said, "when Fanfar comes. And where is he? It seems to me that he is gone a long time." "He will be here soon," answered the innkeeper, "unless the inundation has increased." "Is he on foot?" asked Gudel. "No, the lady lent him her horse," said Bobichel, but he stopped short when he saw Caillette turn pale. Gudel could not see his daughter.
I forgive this enemy, whomsoever he may be. "In a few days to-morrow, perhaps my fate will be decided. Do not despair." Tears filled Irène's eyes as she finished this letter. Bobichel watched her all the time, restraining his sobs with difficulty. "You love him!" he said softly, "and you are right, for he is the best man I ever knew!" Irène extended her hand, and the clown knelt to kiss it.
He could not tear from the man the smallest information. Having taken a sedative the sick man fell asleep, but it was plain that his dreams were troubled. Fanfar took up a book, when he heard the door-bell, and Bobichel suddenly appeared all out of breath. He dropped on a chair, and seemed to be in great trouble. "What is the matter?" asked Fanfar.
"Ah! my lad, you made a great mistake. I felt it when you told me that you were about to marry the giantess. She had something about her eyes I didn't like. She doesn't ill-treat Caillette, I hope?" "Not if I know it!" answered Gudel, clenching his enormous fist. "Just let her lay a finger on the girl, that is all!" "You need not get so excited. And now about Bobichel how is he?"
Because he is strong, because he has learned a lot of things, and can play on a lot of instruments, does not prove that he is worth more than either of us." "Oh! if I only knew whether you were to be trusted!" cried Robeccal. Bobichel in vain tried to preserve utter impassibility. Robeccal surprised a look in his eyes, which he translated at once as meaning, "He is going to speak. I have him."
She went to the next room, where Bobichel was already awaiting her. He did not look as jolly as usual, and, twirling his cap between his fingers in an embarrassed way, he began: "Mademoiselle, excuse me for disturbing you, but " "You come from him from Fanfaro?" said Irene, blushing. "Unfortunately no," replied Bobichel, sorrowfully; "I was not allowed to see him." "Who sent you here?"
When he reached Bobichel, who was still in his frog attitude, the clown gave a flourish with his leg and his foot, quite by accident of course, knocking off Robeccal's hat. "Look out!" cried Robeccal. "Oh! a thousand pardons," answered Bobichel, "I did not see you!" "Didn't you! Well! little Caillette saw me, and ran away, as if the devil were coming." "A girl's nonsense. Never mind her.
Drawing near to the spot, he saw that a small piece of white silk had been pressed in an almost imperceptible crack. "Bobichel, your knife," cried Fanfaro, breathlessly. "Master," said Bobichel, modestly, "there is a secret door there, and they generally have a spring attached to them." "You are right," replied Fanfaro, "but how discover the spring?"
And the invalid took Fanfar's head in her trembling hands, and kissed him tenderly. "And Bobichel! you here, too!" cried Caillette, overjoyed. Irène went to Fanfar's side. "I have come," she said, quietly. Without leaving his mother he took the girl's fair hand and pressed it to his lips. Arthur began to question Gudel, and from him learned the whole truth.
