When Champagnac died the Sauviats made no inventory of his property; but they rummaged, with the intelligence of rats, into every nook and corner of the old man's house, left it as naked as a corpse, and sold the wares it contained in their own shop. Once a year, in December, Sauviat went to Paris in one of the public conveyances.
"Well, be it so! I will not keep you. Supposing we say a leap." "A leap?" "Yes from these battlements. If not, you will hang." "Hang! I!" And a flush came on the young noble's face. "Precisely. Champagnac was hanged, if you remember, and it is the fate you reserved for me. You, however, have a choice."
In thirty years each of those louis d'or had been transformed into a bank-note for a thousand francs, by means of the income from the Funds, of Madame Sauviat's inheritance from her father, old Champagnac, and of the profits accruing from the business and the accumulated interest thereon in the hands of the Brezac firm.
I am going to make an example of you, and shall deal out to you the same mercy you showed to Champagnac, and " "Enough, monsieur!" said the prisoner; "let this talking end. If I have to die, let me die. I do not want a priest. I die in my faith, which is not yours. Let the matter end quickly, and be done with it." A grim smile played on Montluc's lips as he leaned heavily on his sword.
Tired of frequenting fairs and roaming the country, the Auvergnat settled at Limoges, where he married, in 1797, the daughter of a coppersmith, a widower, named Champagnac. When his father-in-law died he bought the house in which he had been carrying on his trade of old-iron dealer, after ceasing to roam the country as a peddler.
