The count entered, and hastened to kiss Adrienne's hand, with a sort of paternal familiarity. "Come!" said M. de Montbron to himself; "let us try to discover the truth I am in search of, that we may escape a great misfortune." Mdlle. de Cardoville, not wishing to betray the cause of the violent feelings which agitated her, received M. de Montbron with a feigned and forced gayety.
But no I confess it that would not have sufficed with me. Had you been only Mdlle. de Cardoville a rich, noble, beautiful young lady I should doubtless have pitied your misfortune; but I should have said to myself, 'This poor young lady is certainly much to be pitied; but what can I, poor man, do in it?
In the midst of the powerful and diversified emotion, and of the exciting events which so rapidly followed the shipwreck on the rocky coast near Cardoville House, Dagobert, during the short interview he then had with Gabriel, had not perceived the scar which seamed the forehead of the young missionary.
"Thanks to these precautions, there is nothing to fear from that side," said Father d'Aigrigny. "Go on." "Dr. Baleinier, also warned by the Princess de Saint-Dizier, continues to have Mdlle. de Cardoville very closely watched. At a quarter to nine the door of the building in which she is lodged was locked and bolted." "That is still another cause the less for uneasiness."
How can you account for that?" "Nothing so plain, father. Mdlle. de Cardoville is their relation. I remember now, that she told me so." "A relation of Rose and Blanche?" "Yes," added Mother Bunch; "she told that also to me just now." "Well, then," resumed Dagobert, looking anxiously at his son, "do you now understand why I must have my children this very day?
Let us mention, at last, that the Prince of Saint-Dizier, having died many years since, his very large personal fortune had descended to his younger brother, the father of Adrienne de Cardoville; and he, having died eighteen months ago, that young lady found herself to be the last and only representative of that branch of the family of the Renneponts.
It is singular, but during the short space which preceded Adrienne's arrival, the different actors in this scene appeared uneasy and embarrassed, as if they had a vague fear of her coming. In about a minute, Mdlle. de Cardoville entered the presence of her aunt.
I must confess that the end he seemed to propose to himself was great and beautiful; but the day before yesterday I was cruelly undeceived. I was awakened, as it were, by a thunder-peal. Oh, my dear young lady!" added Rodin, with a sort of embarrassment and confusion, "let us talk no more of my fatal journey to Cardoville.
She was in such a fair way of recovery, both moral and physical, that Rodin thought he might get Philippon to advise the country for his penitent, fearing that Paris air might occasion a relapse. This advice, added to the desire the woman had to play 'lady of the parish, induced her to buy Cardoville Manor, a good investment in any respect.
"Yes, it was this gentleman who came to me this morning, with ample proofs, to demand my interference in favor of Mdlle. de Cardoville," said the magistrate, drawing back a little, to give Adrienne the opportunity of seeing her defender. Throughout this scene, Rodin's name had not hitherto been mentioned.
