Luckily, I have not yet parted with mine. Within an hour, you may know how far to trust M. Rodin. If he betrays the prince, he betrays you also." "What say you?" cried Mdlle. de Cardoville. "Set out instantly with me; we reach the side door; I enter alone, for precaution sake if all is right, I return " "You would have me turn spy?" said Mdlle. de Cardoville, haughtily, interrupting Florine.
Agitated, attentive, uneasy, leaning from one of the convent-windows, the work-girl followed with her eyes the movements of Mdlle. de Cardoville and Rose Simon, whom she so little expected to find together in such a place. The orphan, approaching close to the fence, which separated the nunnery-garden from that of Dr.
"I am sorry, my dear, but your curiosity cannot be satisfied," said the count, drawing out his watch; "it will soon be six o'clock, and the exhibition of the wild beasts begin at eight. We shall only just have time to go home and dine. Is not that your opinion, my dear child?" said he to Adrienne. "And yours, Julia?" said Mdlle. de Cardoville to the marchioness.
Now, in this country, murder leads to infamy, or the scaffold and to-morrow to-night, perhaps you would be thrown into prison. But our enemies have said: 'A man like Prince Djalma does not wait for infamy he kills himself. A woman like Adrienne de Cardoville does not survive the disgrace or death of her lover she prefers to die."
On seeing Dagobert grasp Rodin so roughly by the collar, Mdlle. de Cardoville exclaimed in terror, as she advanced several steps towards the soldier: "In the name of Heaven, sir! what are you doing?"
He thought, wisely, that one should never despise friend or enemy, however small they may appear. Now, devotion to Mdlle. de Cardoville constituted an enemy in his eyes; and we know, moreover, that Rodin combined in his character rare firmness, with a certain degree of superstitious weakness, and he now felt uneasy at the singular impression of fear which Mother Bunch inspired in him.
He looked at Mdlle. de Cardoville with an almost embarrassed air, as he replied: "I am indeed speaking of one of my patients, who counts much upon me a great deal too much for he asks me to do an impossibility. But why do you feel so interested in an unknown person?" "If he is unfortunate, I know enough to interest me.
At these words, Mother Bunch looked at the smith in the utmost alarm, trembling lest he had discovered her painful secret, notwithstanding the assurance she had received from Mdlle. de Cardoville. Yet she calmed herself a little when she reflected, that Agricola might of himself have thought of the humiliation inflicted on her by calling her Mother Bunch, and she answered him with a forced smile.
"Adieu, my sisters!" said Gabriel and he left the room with Rodin, who had not lost a word or an incident of this scene. Two hours after, Dagobert and the orphans had quitted the Castle for Paris, not knowing that Djalma was left at Cardoville, being still too much injured to proceed on his journey.
As for Agricola, he had received a letter, in which he was invited to a meeting that might be of the greatest importance to Mdlle. de Cardoville. See the strange effect of hasheesh. The mild light of a circular lamp of oriental alabaster, suspended from the ceiling by three silver chains, spreads a faint lustre through the bed-chamber of Adrienne de Cardoville.
