"It is disastrous for the crops, just the same," murmured Cyprien. "No, it will not be anything," I said, seeing the large questioning eyes of our girls. Aimee had put her two children into the bed. She sat beside them, with Veronique and Marie. Aunt Agathe spoke of heating some wine she had brought up, to give us courage. Jacques and Rose were looking out of a window.
Fanfar leaped upon Irène's horse, and dashed off in the direction of Vagney. "My father, and he," murmured Caillette, "all that I love and have in the world." And with her handkerchief to her eyes, she followed the sad procession. We have left the Marquis and his most excellent servant Cyprien going toward Vagney, but it was not without anxiety that they ventured on this expedition.
We require Gudel's testimony, and then, when all this is plain, we can control Labarre." Cyprien assented to the wisdom of the plan, but he wished a little delay. He saw evidences of great impatience on the part of the Marquis. "I am not so simple, sir, as you think.
Cyprien did not at first understand. "Stop!" he shouted. "Stop!" To kill Gudel was ruin, for he was the only human being who could prove Fanfar's birth. But he was too late, the zealous Commissioner had cut the rope. "Fool!" shouted Cyprien, and then he listened to hear the dull thud of the body falling on the stones below. But he heard nothing, for Gudel had not fallen.
When she saw him on the top of the house she ran over the tiles, still holding her children. And she called out: "Cyprien, wait for me! I am going with you. I am going to die with you." She persisted. He leaned over, pleading with her, promising to come back, telling her that he was going for the rescue of all of us. But, with a wild air, she shook her head, repeating "I am going with you!
"We will bestow that patent upon him gratis," quoth Dick, making his staff whistle round his head. "The prisoner! gentlemen 'prentices do not forget him!" cried Cyprien, who, with two other serving-men and the cook, had joined the assailing party. "Madame Bonaventure implores you to effect his rescue." "And so we will, my jovial Gascon," replied Dick.
To whom else can I admit that I drank out of the Bohemian wine-glass he prefers, to console me a little? But if I were to mention this they would laugh in my face. Father Cyprien himself, who nevertheless has a heart running over with kindness, would say to me: "Let us pass that by, my dear child; let us pass that by."
"Throw your cards on the table, Cyprien! What do you want me to do in exchange for this great service?" "I impose no condition. I have faith in the generosity of my master." "And you are right!" the Marquis replied. "If I succeed, I will make you rich, and place you so high on the social ladder that the greatest names in France will bow before you!" "Thank you, honored sir.
"Cyprien has served me well!" he said. "How is it that I have not seen him for two days?" "I was speaking of our son!" answered Magdalena, angrily. "Do you not think of your son? Do you not love your son?" The Marquis took her hand. "It is time that we understood each other," he said, sadly. "For twenty years I have lived a melancholy life.
He had supposed that he would not have the smallest difficulty in bending the old man to his will. Why had he not leaped at the fellow's throat when he opened the door?

What was that sound of crashing rocks?
