The judge continued his interrogation. "Well, then, Mme. Brument, they came into your house and threw you into a barrel full of water. Tell us the details. Stand up." She rose. She looked as tall as a flag pole with her cap which looked like a white skull cap. She said in a drawling tone: "I was shelling beans. Just then they came in. I said to myself, 'What is the matter with them?
Well, Brument came to my place about nine o'clock, and ordered two drinks, and said: 'There's one for you, Cornu. I sat down opposite him and drank, and out of politeness, I offered him a glass. Then he returned the compliment and so did I, and so it went on from glass to glass until noon, when we were full. "Then Brument began to cry. That touched me. I asked him what was the matter.
"A hundred sous is a hundred sous, and I have to undress myself; but I did not fancy undressing before those two good-for-nothings. I took off my cap, and then my jacket, and then my skirt, and then my sabots. Brument said, 'Keep on your stockings, also; we are good fellows. "And Cornu said, too, 'We are good fellows. "So there I was, almost like mother Eve.
The defendants, Cesaire-Isidore Brument and Prosper-Napoleon Cornu, appeared before the Court of Assizes of the Seine-Inferieure, on a charge of attempted murder, by drowning, of Mme. Brument, lawful wife of the first of the aforenamed. The two prisoners sat side by side on the traditional bench.
"Once more she ceased speaking, then, in a broken voice, she said: "'Leave me now, I beg of you. I want to die all alone, since they are not with me." Maitre Le Brument added: "And I left the house, monsieurs, crying like a fool, so bitterly, indeed, that my coachman turned round to stare at me. "And to think that, every day, dramas like this are being enacted all around us!
And Brument said: 'Do you wish to earn a hundred sous more? 'Yes, I said, for I am not accustomed to presents like that. Then he said: 'Take off your clothes! "'Take off my clothes? "'Yes, he said. "'How many shall I take off? "'If it worries you at all, keep on your chemise, that won't bother us.

A party of men were chatting in the smoking room after dinner. We were talking of unexpected legacies, strange inheritances. Then M. le Brument, who was sometimes called "the illustrious judge" and at other times "the illustrious lawyer," went and stood with his back to the fire. "I have," said he, "to search for an heir who disappeared under peculiarly distressing circumstances.
And they got up from their chairs, but could not stand straight, they were so full, saving your presence, M'sieu le president. "I said to myself: 'What are they up to? "And Brument said: 'Are you ready? "And Cornu said: 'I'm ready! "And then they took me, Brument by the head, and Cornu by the feet, as one might take, for instance, a sheet that has been washed. Then I began to bawl.
