At last midnight sounded; softly she opened the window; this time she used a string made by tying bits of twine together. She heard Brigaut's step, and on drawing up the cord she found the following letter, which filled her with joy: My dear Pierrette, As you are so ill you must not tire yourself by waiting for me. You will hear me if I cry like an owl.
He had the firmness of a galley-slave without, and the shrinkings of innocence within him, like certain mothers in their moments of mortal trial, when held between two dangers, two catastrophes. Pierrette's inward commotion was like Brigaut's. She slipped the note into the pocket of her apron. The hectic spots upon her cheekbones turned to a cherry-scarlet.
"Oh, my son!" cried the old woman, rising from her knees and falling on Brigaut's neck, "let us bury her quick, they will come back." "If we solder the lead," said the plumber, "they may not dare to open it." Monsieur Auffray hastened to his brother-in-law, Monsieur Lesourd, to try and settle the matter. Vinet was not unwilling.
