Eve gave her husband a look that meant, "Be careful!" "You will be my tributaries," said David, "and all other consumers of papers besides." "Then what are you investigating?" asked the hypocritical Boniface Cointet. Boniface's question slipped out smoothly and insinuatingly, and again Eve's eyes implored her husband to give an answer that was no answer, or to say nothing at all.
Mme. de Senonches is sure to give the wedding clothes, and some plate and furniture to her goddaughter. Now, I can put you in the way of marrying the girl, my lad," said Cointet, slapping Petit-Claud on the knee; "and when you marry Francoise de la Haye, you will have a large number of the aristocracy of Angouleme as your clients.
One cannot act the lover's part in rags." At six o'clock that morning Cerizet went to Petit-Claud. "Doublon can be ready to take his man to-morrow at noon, I will answer for it," he said; "I know one of Mlle. Clerget's girls, do you understand?" Cerizet unfolded his plan, and Petit-Claud hurried to find Cointet.
If you won't do fairly by me, I know your cards, and I shall play for my own hand." The tall Cointet took his hat and umbrella, his face at the same time taking its Jesuitical expression, and out he went, bidding Petit-Claud come with him. "You shall see, my friend, whether I have prepared your way for you," said he.
The Comtesse du Chatelet, so she argued, would be sure to use her influence for her champion. Boniface Cointet had Angouleme at his fingers' ends; he saw all the difficulties at a glance, and resolved to sweep them out of the way by a bold stroke that only a Tartuffe's brain could invent.
You see, there is nothing you must be so much on your guard against as an inventor." "I have a liking for bread ready buttered myself," added the tall Cointet. All through that night the old man ruminated over this dilemma "If I pay David's debts, he will be set at liberty, and once set at liberty, he need not share his fortune with me unless he chooses.
"If you can find Sechard's hiding-place and put him in our hands, somebody will lend you twenty thousand francs to buy his business, and very likely there will be a newspaper to print. So, set about it," he had said. Petit-Claud put more faith in Cerizet's activity than in all the Doublons in existence; and then it was that he promised Cointet that Sechard should be arrested.
"Take in our names, all the same," said the tall Cointet; and feeling sure of his position, he followed immediately behind the servant and introduced his companion to the elaborately-affected Zephirine, who was breakfasting in company with M. Francis du Hautoy and Mlle. de la Haye. M. de Senonches had gone, as usual, for a day's shooting over M. de Pimentel's land.
The quantity and the quality of the pulp modify every question at once. But who will guarantee that it will be the same with a batch of five hundred reams, and that your plan will succeed in bulk?" David, Eve, and Petit-Claud looked at one another; their eyes said many things. "Take a somewhat similar case," continued the tall Cointet after a pause.
An eloquent pause followed, and the two men looked at each other. "We have never seen each other," Cointet resumed; "I have not said a syllable to you; you know nothing about M. du Hautoy, nor Mme. de Senonches, nor Mlle. de la Haye; only, when the time comes, two months hence, you will propose for the young lady. If we should want to see each other, you will come here after dark.
