"The Abbe d'Aigrigny!" exclaimed Mdlle. de Cardoville. "Yes, madame; he remained for two hours shut up with M. Rodin." "My child, you must have been deceived."
"Madame," said D'Aigrigny, "such words are as violent as they are unreasonable." "Since you interrupt me, sir," said Adrienne, hastily, as she fixed her eyes on the abbe, "tell me what examples did I meet with in my aunt's house?" "Excellent, examples, madame." "Excellent, sir? Was it because I saw there, every day, her conversion keep pace with your own?"
At this moment, Rodin re-entered the room. Father d'Aigrigny questioned him with a significant look. The socius approached, and said to him in a low voice, so, that Gabriel could not hear: "Nothing serious. It was only to inform me, that Marshal Simon's father is arrived at M. Hardy's factory."
Father d'Aigrigny knew mankind too well not to have remarked the emotion of the young priest, and to have endeavored to explain its cause. This emotion appeared to him a favorable omen; he redoubled, therefore, his seductive arts, his air of tenderness and amenity, reserving to himself, if necessary, the choice of assuming another mask.
"Yes," replied Rodin, in a firm voice, "heaven grant he may arrive soon, for he will have to demand a terrible reckoning of the Abbe d'Aigrigny, for the persecution of his daughters; and yet the marshal does not know all." "And don't you tremble for the renegade?" asked Dagobert, as he thought how the marquis would soon find himself face to face with the marshal.
We can rub his temples with the spirit, and make him inhale a little." "Pass the bottle," cried Ciboule; "but don't put your noses in it!" And, passed with caution from hand to hand, the flask reached Gabriel in safety. Whilst waiting for the coming of the coach, Father d'Aigrigny had been seated on a chair.
Well," added he, after a moment's silence, as he heaved a profound sigh, "the mysteries of Nature, and the will of God, are impenetrable." Gabriel fell back into his chair, in the midst of a general silence, which was broken by Father d'Aigrigny saying, "It is a case of extraordinary resemblance; that is all, my dear son.
Father d'Aigrigny and Rodin exchanged a glance of surprise, almost of alarm. "See what this man is," said D'Aigrigny to Rodin, unable to conceal his uneasiness, "and then come and give me an account of it." Then, addressing the servant, he added: "Show him in" and exchanging another expressive sign with Rodin, Father d'Aigrigny disappeared by a side-door.
"Nobody could be more so; only recently, you yourself informed me of the signal service she rendered, during my confinement at Dr. Baleinier's." "Well, madame, this morning, on my return, thinking it necessary to have you informed as soon as possible, I told all to Mdlle. Florine. Like me even more, perhaps she was terrified at the meeting of Rodin and M. d'Aigrigny.
Those eyes so proud and yet so sad that forehead that pale complexion yes, all her features, are the same all of them!" "My dear son, what is the matter?" said Father d'Aigrigny, as astonished as Samuel and the notary.
