We advanced a few paces between the half-grown trees to see the object over which Mosaide extended his arms and his anger, and discovered, to our great surprise, M. Jerome Coignard, hanging by a lapel of his gown on an evergreen thorn bush.
The Pupil of M. Jerome Coignard I receive Lessons in Latin Greek and Life. The marvellous in the affairs of mankind is the concatenation of effects and causes.
"And you too," she said, "believe that it's easy to be a pretty girl without causing mischief?" "Alas!" I replied, "what you say is but too true. But we have lost the best of men." At this moment Abbe Coignard sighed deeply, opened his eyes, called for his book of Boethius, and fainted again into unconsciousness.
During all the next month or six weeks, M. Coignard applied himself, day and night, just as he had promised, to the reading of Zosimus the Panopolitan. During the meals we partook of at the table of M. d'Asterac the conversation turned on the opinions of the gnostics and on the knowledge of the ancient Egyptians. Being only an ignorant scholar I was of little use to my good master.
"What do you say to this, Amelie?" "It is frightful!" repled his wife. "Go on." "The transformation of the convict Jacques Collin into a Spanish priest is the result of some crime more clever than that by which Coignard made himself Comte de Sainte-Helene." "Lucien de Rubempre.

Therefore I should be thankful for the assurance you would kindly give on that subject." M. d'Asterac, with a movement which seemed to remove an invisible object, gave M. Jerome Coignard the wished-for assurance; for myself, curious as I was of all I saw, I did not wish for anything better than to enter into a new life.
At the end of an alley, the sloughs of which were covered with snow, stood a castle of stone and brick, as morose as the one of Madrid, which, oddly covered by a high slate roof, looked like the castle of the Sleeping Beauty in the wood. Following the silent valet, M. Coignard whispered to me: "I confess, my son, that this lodging has no smiling appearance.
Then his soul was comforted and he marched off with a firmer step to carry the Princess of Savoy to Mademoiselle de Doucine, his niece. MY good master, M. l'Abbé Coignard, had taken me with him to sup with one of his old fellow-students, who lodged in a garret in the Rue Gît-le-Cour.
The footman ran faster than the abbe, and we could see him, at the corner of the Rue Saint Guillaume, extending his arms to catch M. Coignard by the collar of his gown. But my dear tutor, who had more than one trick, veering abruptly, got behind the fellow, tripped him up, and sent him on to a stone post, where he got his head broken.
