Soon we heard the tinkling of the little bell, saw the cross coming in, carried by a child, and the priest clad in white carrying the holy vessels. Jahel, M. d'Anquetil, Madame Coquebert and I fell on our knees. "Pax huic domui," said the priest. "Et omnibus habiantibus in en," replied the servitor. Then the vicar took holy water and sprayed it over the patient and the bed.
When they reached the carriage the post boys lowered the carriage steps, and my beautiful mistress, raising her skirt like a balloon, ascended into the carriage, pushed from behind by M. d'Anquetil. I ran towards them and shouted: "Stop, Jahel! Stop, sir!" But the seducer only pushed the perfidious girl the more, and her charming rounded figure quickly disappeared.
"Monsieur l'Abbe," inquired M. d'Anquetil, "on what grounds do you presume me to be jealous? I am not! But I cannot stand a woman mocking me." "We are playthings of the winds," said my tutor, and sighed. "Everything laughs at us, the sky, the stars, rain and shadow, zephyr and light and woman. Let Catherine sup with us. She is pretty and will enliven our table.
Is it possible only to attempt to establish that He is not, without illuminating, by the most paltry reasoning, which still is reasoning, some remains of the harmony He has established in the universe?" "Abbe," replied M. d'Anquetil, "you are a humorous sophist.
"That's well," sail M, d'Anquetil. "You have some wine, I have dice and cards in my pocket. We can play." "It is true," said my good master, "that is a pleasant pastime. A pack of cards is a book of adventure, of the kind called romances.
But will you, Tournebroche, in default of a better qualified person, present me to yonder gentleman in black, who wears diamond studs, and whom I reckon to be M. d'Asterac?" "Ah! sir," I replied, "consider the presentation to be made. I have no other feelings but to assist my dear tutor." "Be it so!" said M. d'Anquetil.
During his terrifying repose the cover of the glass case rose by itself, and out of it came a woman with a majestic body and of the most perfect beauty. She raised her head " Here I interrupted his narrative, which I had hardly-listened to, and exclaimed: "Ah! sir, what do you think Jahel and M. d'Anquetil are saying at this moment, all by themselves in the coupe?
"Under such circumstances we ought to ask pardon of God, to whom alone we are responsible for the blood shed by us, and secondly to hasten to the nearest fountain, there to wash ourselves, because I perceive that my nose is bleeding." "Right you are, abbe," said M. d'Anquetil; "for the blackguard now dying in the gutter has cut my forehead. What an impertinence!"
We became aware, during that wonderful night, of voluptuousness the abyss of which borders on suffering. When I came down to the innyard in the morning I met M. d'Anquetil, who, now that I had deceived him, appeared to me less odious than formerly. On his part he felt better inclined to me than he had yet done since we started on our travels.
I am quite aware, my Jacquot, that you played the man about town in company with a nobleman, and my head is too well placed not to feel the honour which it reflects on our whole family. Mother dressed as if she intended to go to mass; and Madame d'Anquetil received her with kindness.
