"Then," said Prosper, "from all this I judge that M. de Clameran was very poor when I met him for the first time at M. Fauvel's?" "Evidently." "And about that time Lagors arrived from the country?" "Precisely." "And about a month after his appearance Madeleine suddenly banished me?" "Well," exclaimed M. Verduret, "I am glad you are beginning to understand the state of affairs."
He indignantly dismissed him from the house, and told him never to show his face again. "James Spencer had been living in London about four years, managing to support himself by gambling and swindling, when he met Clameran, who offered him twenty-five thousand francs to play a part in a little comedy which he had arranged to suit the actors." "You are a detective!" interrupted Raoul.
There is one man who could give us all the information we seek, but he will take good care to keep his mouth shut." "You mean M. de Clameran?" "Him, and no one else." "I have always felt the most inexplicable aversion toward him. Ah, if we could only get his account in addition to what you already have!"
He saw that his circle of listeners was increased by the presence of the doge, M. de Clameran. "The third picture," he said, after a roll of drums, "depicts the old mandarine after she has dismissed that most annoying of guests remorse from her bosom. She promises herself that interest shall supply the place of love in chaining the too seductive youth to her side.
"You don't seem to anticipate any difficulty in carrying out your wishes," he said discontentedly; "how are you to account for your suddenly acquired fortune? M. Fauvel knows that a Clameran lived at Oloron, and had money in his bank. You tell him that you never heard of this person bearing your name, and then, at the end of the month, you come and say that you have inherited his fortune.
Is it not to your husband that I owe the fortune which excites the cupidity of this wicked Clameran? Are not Abel and Lucien brothers to me? And now, when the happiness of all who have been loving and generous to me is at stake, do you suppose I would hesitate? No. I will become the wife of Clameran." Then began a struggle of self-sacrifice between Mme.
As his chances of escape increased, the excitement grew more intense. The pursuers urged each other on, and called out to head him off, every time they saw Gaston run from one clump of trees to another. Being familiar with the country, young De Clameran was confident of eluding his pursuers. He knew that the next field was a thistle-field, and was separated from the chestnut by a long, deep ditch.
He, the adventurer, the bully, the base accomplice of London swindlers, delighted in these marks of respect and veneration, bestowed upon him as the representative of the house of Clameran; it seemed to make him once more feel a little self-respect, as if the future were not utterly hopeless.
If your mother were on earth, she would tell you to take them, as I do now. I command you to take and use them. The salvation, the honor, of the heir of the house of Clameran, must not be imperilled for want of a little gold." With tearful eyes, Gaston sank on his knees, and, carrying his father's hand to his lips, said: "Thanks, father, thanks!
"There must be no but, my friend; the agent will send you to M. de Clameran, who is looking for a valet, his man having left him yesterday." "Excuse me if I venture to suggest that you are making a mistake. This Clameran is not the cashier's friend." "Why do you always interrupt me?" said M. Lecoq imperiously. "Do what I tell you, and don't disturb your mind about the rest.
