He remained for a moment buried in thought; then he added, "And yet she, also, did not come yesterday. Why? Oh! no doubt they have told her all. They have told her how I came to be at Valpinson the night of the crime." "You are mistaken, Jacques," said M. Magloire. "Miss Chandore knows nothing." "Is it possible?"
He knew that Dionysia was surrounded by devoted and intelligent men, by M. de Chandore, M. Seneschal, Dr. Seignebos, M. Magloire, and, finally, that advocate whom the Marchioness de Boiscoran had brought down with her from Paris, M. Folgat. "And Heaven knows what they would not try," he thought, "to rescue the guilty man from the hands of justice!"
"Yes, sir, although I have heard people insist that he is not quite so stupid as he looks, and that, as they say here, he plays the ass in order to get his oats" M. de Chandore interrupted him, and said, "On this subject Dr. Seignebos can give you all the information you may want: he kept Cocoleu for nearly two years at his own house." "I mean to see the doctor," replied M. Folgat.
Now I must study the case, and examine the witnesses, beginning with old Anthony." M. de Chandore had risen. He said, "We can reach Boiscoran in an hour. Shall I send for my carriage?" "As quickly as possible," replied the young lawyer. M. de Chandore's servant was back in a quarter of an hour, and announced that the carriage was at the door.
"Do not write, sir: it would be useless. I do not wish it." Her embarrassment was so evident, that the others were quite surprised. "Have Boiscoran and M. de Margeril had any difficulty?" asked M. de Chandore. "Yes." "But," cried Dionysia, "it is a matter of life and death for Jacques." Alas!
"But, I beg your pardon that letter. Miss Dionysia surely has not handed it over to them?" "No; but the prosecution is aware of its existence. M. de Chandore and M. Seneschal have spoken of it in the hope of exculpating you, and have even mentioned the contents. And M. Galpin knows it so well, that he had repeatedly mentioned it to you, and you have confessed all that he could desire."
It may be agreed upon, for instance, that the numbers shall never have their apparent value, or that they shall vary according to the day of the month or the week. Thus, to-day is Monday, the second day of the week. Well, I have to deduct one from each number of a page, and add one to each number of a word." "And you will be able to make it all out?" asked M. de Chandore.
Then M. Jacques entreated the countess to save him; and she replied that she would certainly not save him at the expense of her reputation, and so enable him, as soon as he was free once more, to marry Miss Chandore. Then he said to her, 'Well, then I must tell all; and she, 'You will not be believed.
He was silent, thinking of the wise remarks made by his wife the evening before. "How can we know," he began at last, "what may be going on in young brains of twenty-five when they are set on fire by the remembrance of certain insults! Wrath is a dangerous counsellor." Grandpapa Chandore refused to hear any more.
She could not repress a little cry of delight, and rapidly touched the letter with her lips, repeating, "Now we are safe, we are safe!" M. de Chandore smiled at the happiness of his granddaughter. "But, Miss Hypocrite," he said, "it seems you had great secrets to communicate to M. de Boiscoran, since you resorted to cipher, like arch conspirators.
