Alfred, having wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, opened his eyes, stood up, and asked in a trembling voice: "Have you seen him?" "Who?" "Is he gone?" "Alfred, whom do you mean?" "Cabrion!" "Has he dared " cried the portress. Pipelet, as dumb as the statue of the Commander in Don Giovanni, bowed his head twice in the affirmative.
Pipelet made a sign with his hand that he was about to speak, and they listened to the man of the immense hat in religious silence. "The dear old man had the nightmare all night, and I wished him to rest," said Anastasia. "This nightmare was sent me as a warning from above," said the porter, solemnly. "I had dreamed of Cabrion I was to suffer by Cabrion.
"I bet he is talking to you of Cabrion! he has done nothing but repeat it over and over again all along the way." "That is to say, Anastasia, that I could hardly keep on the ground. Before, it seemed to me that my hat was lined with lead; now, one would say that the air raised me toward the firmament! gone at last gone!!! and he will never return more!" "Most happily, the blackguard!"
Pipelet, triumphantly; "it's nothing! it's a picture; the portrait of that scoundrel Cabrion! Look, see how I stamp upon him!" and Anastasia, in her indignation, threw the picture on the ground, and trampled it under her feet, crying, "That's the way I would like to treat his flesh and bones, the wretch!" then picking it up, "see!" said she, "now it has my marks; look now!"
Cabrion, a painter, formerly a tenant, had seen fit to make the porter a butt of the most audacious practical jokes, inundating him with caricatures, laughable labels, and startling appearances before his unexpectant appalled sight.
Oh, no! Hardly was my back turned than Cabrion, who had watched my departure, had the impudence to send here two great hussies who attacked Alfred. My hair stands on an end. I will tell you all this directly. Let us finish with the notary. I set out, then, in a coach with Cecily, as you are advised.
Cabrion, but zounds! don't stick it in large letters under the noses of the passers-by! I find myself under the necessity of telling you that you are a pitiful wretch, and that I shall go and make my complaint to the authorities!" and the quiz departed in a great rage. "Anastasia!" said Mr. Pipelet, in a sorrowful tone, "I shall not survive this, I feel it; I am wounded to death.
After a pause, accompanied by a grievous sigh, Alfred went on with his story: "During this scandalous spoliation, I raised my eyes, and saw looking through the window of the lodge the infernal face of Cabrion, with his beard and pointed hat. He laughed, he was hideous! To escape this odious vision, I shut my eyes. When I opened them again, all had disappeared.
At the end of two hours he came back to me, in such a state white as a sheet, and blowing like an ox!" "What was the matter?" "You shall see, M. Rudolph. Only fancy, that six steps from here is a large white wall; my darling, on leaving the house, looked by chance on this wall; what does he see written there with charcoal, in large letters? 'Pipelet & Cabrion! the two names joined by a short and.
Allowing twenty leagues of this distance for his having followed the undulations of the coast, the remaining 100 measured from Point Maysi fall exactly upon Cabrion Key, which we have supposed the western boundary of his discoveries.
