Her dress, moreover, like Florine's, was of some exquisite stuff, unknown as yet to the public, a mousseline de soie, with which Camusot had been supplied a few days before the rest of the world; for, as owner of the Golden Cocoon, he was a kind of Providence in Paris to the Lyons silkweavers.
The audacity of facts, by sheer improbability or indecorum, rises to heights of "situation" forbidden to art, unless they are softened, cleansed, and purified by the writer. Madame Camusot did her utmost to dress herself for the morning almost in good taste a difficult task for the wife of a judge who for six years has lived in a provincial town.
There was no anger in her face, no embarrassment; she looked from Camusot to Lucien. The two men avoided each other's eyes. "I will believe nothing that you do not wish me to believe," said Camusot. "Don't play with me, Coralie; I was wrong "
"These two days will certainly have shortened my life. What fools we are ever to write! But love prompts us; we receive pages that fire the heart through the eyes, and everything is in a blaze! Prudence deserts us we reply " "But why reply when you can act?" said Madame Camusot. "It is grand to lose oneself utterly!" cried the Duchess with pride. "It is the luxury of the soul."
"My duty forbids it," said Camusot very good-naturedly; "but if a sinner may make a compromise with heaven, justice too has its softer side, and if you can give me sufficient reasons speak; your words will not be taken down."
"There is the whole matter," said Fraisier shrewdly, making his bow to the Presidente with as much graciousness as his countenance could exhibit. "What a providence!" thought Mme. Camusot de Marville. "So I am to be rich! Camusot will be sure of his election if we let loose this Fraisier upon the Bolbec constituency. What a tool!" "What a providence!"
"If to accomplish that noble task you should ever want a few thousand francs, you will always find them with me," said Camusot. "I would give them with a great deal of pleasure to witness a deed so rare in Paris." Pillerault, Ragon, and Birotteau retired. "Well! that wasn't the ocean to drink," said Pillerault, as they left the court-room.
"I am very glad, sir, that the matter has gone no further on either side," Brunner answered gravely. "I had no idea that Mlle. Cecile was an only daughter. Anybody else would consider this an advantage; but to me, believe me, it is an insurmountable obstacle to " "What, sir!" cried Camusot, amazed beyond measure. "Do you find a positive drawback in an immense advantage?
By the tone she gave to the two words, "Poor woman!" the Marquise betrayed the joy of satisfied hatred, the pleasure of triumph. Oh! what woes did she not wish to befall Lucien's protectress. Revenge, which nothing can assuage, which can survive the person hated, fills us with dark terrors. And Madame Camusot, though harsh herself, vindictive, and quarrelsome, was overwhelmed.
The old artist positively declined the offer, bringing forward the value of his fortune in furniture, only now made known to him by Brunner. The Home Secretary, the First President, the attorney for the crown, the Popinots, and those who had other engagements, all went; and before long no one was left except M. Camusot senior, and Cardot the old notary, and his assistant and son-in-law Berthier.
