The following day, about seven o'clock in the morning, Brigaud came to fetch D'Harmental, and found the young man ready and waiting. They both wrapped themselves in their cloaks, drew down their hats over their eyes, and proceeded through the Rue de Cléry, the Place des Victoires, and the garden of the Palais Royal. On reaching the Rue de l'Echelle they began to perceive an unusual stir.
Besides, we were just going to take leave of you." "And you, also, abbe?" said Madame Denis, with a distressed look at Brigaud. "As for me," said Brigaud, who did not seem to fancy the part of comforter, "I am expected at the Hotel Colbert, and I must leave you." "Adieu, then," said Madame Denis, making a curtsey, but the water trickling down her clothes took away a great part of its dignity.
Occupy yourselves only in obtaining for me a passport for Spain, as if I had the charge of some prisoner of importance: that ought to be easy." "I undertake it," said the Abbe Brigaud: "I will get from D'Argenson a paper all prepared, which will only have to be filled in." "Excellent Brigaud," said Pompadour; "he does not speak often, but he speaks to the purpose."
As to wine, he had still got some bottles of that which the Abbe Brigaud had sent him. D'Harmental ate with a certain remorse. He could not understand how he could be at the same time so tormented, and have such a good appetite. Luckily he remembered reading in the works of some moralist or other that sorrow sharpened hunger wonderfully.
As to D'Harmental, he received every morning a visit from the Abbe Brigaud, announcing that everything was going on right; and as his own love affairs were quite as prosperous, D'Harmental began to think that to be a conspirator was the happiest thing on the earth.
She shortly heard a movement in the bed, and ran toward it; then, after an instant's silence, during which she heard the opening and shutting of two or three doors, and before she had time to say "That is not the voice of Monsieur Raoul, it is the Abbe Brigaud," Bathilde had fallen back on her pillow.
Baron, allow me to present you to my predecessor in my room. The son of our worthy landlady, and godson of the Abbe Brigaud." "Oh, you have friends barons, Monsieur Raoul! what an honor for our house!" "Well," said the abbe, "you were looking for me you said. What do you want?" "I want nothing. It was my mother who sent for you." "What does she want? Do you know?"
It must be done through some third party." "Yes, yes, we will arrange all that," said the duchess. "The man is found that is the principal thing. You answer for him, Brigaud?" "I do, madame." "That is all we require. And now there is nothing to keep us any longer," continued the duchess. "Monsieur d'Harmental, give me your arm, I beg."
We have, then, at this very moment, a sword hanging over each of our heads; do not let us wait tamely till the thread which suspends it snaps; let us seize it, and strike!" "Strike! What where and how?" asked Brigaud. "That abominable parliament has destroyed all our schemes. Have we measures taken, or a plot made out?"
D'Harmental also went to bed, joyous to think that there existed a point of sympathy between himself and his neighbor. The next day the Abbe Brigaud entered the room with his accustomed punctuality.
