I doubt whether Newman, who saw no harm in Tristram's conversing with an ingenious mechanic, would have complied with this request; but at this moment Valentin de Bellegarde drew near. Newman, some weeks previously, had presented Madame de Cintre's youngest brother to Mrs. Tristram, for whose merits Valentin professed a discriminating relish and to whom he had paid several visits.
"Observe the richness of her imagination. She has not a single question it's vulgar to ask questions and yet she knows everything. She has the history of Madame de Cintre's marriage at her fingers' ends.
My sister-in-law, whom you remember seeing in Madame de Cintre's sitting-room, took, it appears, a fancy to you; she has described you as having beaucoup de cachet. My mother, therefore, is curious to see you." "She expects to laugh at me, eh?" said Newman. "She never laughs. If she does not like you, don't hope to purchase favor by being amusing. Take warning by me!"
This singular attestation of Madame de Cintre's delicacy, for all its singularity, set Newman's wound aching afresh. "I see," he presently said; "she knew something bad about her mother." "No, sir, she knew nothing," said Mrs. Bread, holding her head very stiff and keeping her eyes fixed upon the glimmering windows of the chateau. "She guessed something, then, or suspected it."
