During that time the Messieurs d'Hauteserre, their cousin, and Gothard had chased a wolf which was reported in the forest by the peasantry. If the director of the jury had sought for the prints of their horses' feet in the forest as carefully as in the park of Gondreville, he would have found proof of their presence at long distances from the house.
The sale which you induced Michu to make of his property will be taken as evident proof of your criminal intentions against the senator. You sent your servants to Troyes so that you might be alone; that is all the more plausible because it is actually true. The elder d'Hauteserre made an unfortunate speech to Beauvisage, which will be your ruin.
Monsieur d'Hauteserre, then fifty-two years of age, tall, spare, high-colored, and robust in health, would have seemed the embodiment of vigor if it were not for a pair of porcelain blue eyes, the glance of which denoted the most absolute simplicity.
"We have a salon to converse in," said Michu. "The gendarmes may prowl as much as they like; the worst they could do would be to take our horses." "If they do that," said Laurence, "it would be the death of my cousins and the Messieurs d'Hauteserre. Tell me now, what do you know?" Michu related what he had overheard Malin say to Grevin.
"I do not see Mademoiselle de Cinq-Cygne," said Corentin. "She is probably asleep in her bedroom," said Monsieur d'Hauteserre. "Come with me, ladies," said Corentin, turning to pass through the ante-chamber and up the staircase, followed by Mademoiselle Goujet and Madame d'Hauteserre. "Rely upon me," he whispered to the old lady. "I am in your interests. I sent the mayor to warn you.
Lechesneau left the justice of peace and returned to the stables. "Monsieur," said Madame d'Hauteserre, at last, addressing Pigoult; "can you explain these arrests?" "The gentlemen are accused of abducting the senator by armed force and keeping him a prisoner; for we do not think they have murdered him in spite of appearances," replied Pigoult.
Monsieur de Chargeboeuf, Monsieur d'Hauteserre, and the Abbe Goujet, who also went to Paris, obtained an interview with Talleyrand, who promised them his support.
The two sons of Monsieur and Madame d'Hauteserre had passed the preceding night in Laurence's own room, under the same roof with their father and mother; and Laurence, after knowing them safely in bed had gone between one and two o'clock in the morning to a rendezvous with her cousins in the forest, where she hid them in the deserted hut of a wood-dealer's agent.
"Why, there's the countess's mare, Gothard's horse, and Monsieur d'Hauteserre's." "There is only one in the stable," said Peyrade. "Mademoiselle is out riding," said Durieu. "Does she often ride about at this time of night?" said the libertine Peyrade, addressing Monsieur d'Hauteserre. "Often," said the good man, simply. "Monsieur le maire can tell you that."
She had, moreover, too good a mind and too sound a judgment to complain of their natures; always kind, amiable, and affectionate towards them, she nevertheless told them none of her secrets. Nothing forms a character so much as the practice of constant concealment in the bosom of a family. After she attained her majority Laurence allowed Monsieur d'Hauteserre to manage her affairs as in the past.
