"How foolish you are, D'Harville, when you once get a-going," said Lucenay, shrugging his shoulders. "The finger is placed on the trigger," added D'Harville. "Is he not a child childish at his age?" "A little movement on the lock," continued the marquis, "and one goes straight to the land of spirits." With these words the pistol went off. D'Harville had blown his brains out!
The same agent was instructed to claim the body of La Lorraine, whenever she should sink under her malady, and have it decently interred. After having installed Claire de Fermont in her apartment, Lady d'Harville set out at once for Asnieres, accompanied by Saint Remy, in order to conduct Fleur-de-Marie to Rudolph.
This resignation, and the fears far beyond the grave, had painfully affected Lady d'Harville; she whispered to the sister who came to inform her that Miss de Fermont was completely restored, "Is the condition of this young woman really desperate?" "Alas! yes, madame; La Lorraine is given up; she has not perhaps, a week to live."
"And I consented with joy," said Murphy to Rudolph; "nothing pleases me more than to give to the wicked this kind of extreme unction." "And what did this woman say?" "Madame d'Harville had carried her goodness so far as to ask from her father a pension of one hundred louis for this creature. This appeared to me not goodness, but weakness; it was bad enough to rob justice of such a dangerous woman.
Murphy, after having confided Fleur-de Marie to the care of Lady d'Harville, hastily disappeared behind the folds of one of the immense window-curtains, finding that he was not altogether sure of his self-possession. At the sight of her benefactor, her savior, who regarded her with silent ecstasy, Fleur-de-Marie, already so agitated, began to tremble.
Stay, yes, love could never be mistaken; no, its instinct would enlighten it. But I hear my wife my wife! Come to your post, inauspicious buffoon." "Good-day, Albert," said Madame d'Harville, with a sweet smile, giving him her hand. "But what is the matter, my friend? You appear so happy and gay!" "It is, that at the moment you came in, dear little sister, I was thinking of you.
"Compose yourself, my child," said Lady d'Harville; "there is your friend, M. Rudolph, who awaits you impatiently; he has been very uneasy about you." "Oh! yes, very very uneasy," said Rudolph, still immovable, his heart almost breaking at the sight of the sweet pale face of his child. Thus, in spite of his resolution, the prince was for a moment obliged to turn his head to conceal his emotion.
"What strange delicacy in the midst of so much degradation!" cried Lady d'Harville. "They have a profound sense of their degradation?" "No one can despise them as much as they despise themselves.
"I have easily persuaded my father to leave Les Aubiers to-day," resumed Rudolph, continuing to read the letter from Madame d'Harville: "too many sad recollections attend him here; although his health is delicate, the journey and change of air may be of service, as the physician says who has taken the place of Dr. Polidori.
It is impossible to describe the look, action, and expression of Rudolph, on contemplating Madame d'Harville, whose charming features, stamped with a celestial joy, shone at this moment with superhuman beauty.
