The cabman drove as fast as possible to the house where Pascal and his mother resided in the Rue d'Ulm; but on arriving there, the front door was found to be closed, and the light in the vestibule was extinguished. Marguerite was obliged to ring five or six times before the concierge made his appearance. "I wish to see Monsieur Ferailleur," she quietly said.
"The man you had chosen the man whom you would have sacrificed everything for is Pascal Ferailleur, is he not?" "Yes, it is he." "He is an advocate?" "As I have already told you, monsieur." "Does he live in the Rue d'Ulm?" "Yes." The magistrate shook his head sadly. "It is the same," said he. "I also know him, my poor child; and I loved and honored him.
Listen: Friday, at ten minutes past nine, sent to the Rue d'Ulm do you think of that?" "It's astonishing! But where can I find this driver?" "I can't say, just at this moment; he's on duty now. But as he belongs to this division he will be back sooner or later, so you had better wait." "I will wait then; only as I've had no dinner, I'll go out and get a mouthful to eat.
On the other hand, with such a slight basis to depend upon, was it not almost madness to hope to discover a man who had such strong reasons for concealing himself? Chupin did not think so in fact, when he declared his determination to perform this feat, his plan was already perfected. On leaving M. Fortunat's office, he hastened straight to the Rue d'Ulm, at the top of his speed.
How could she suspect that he had hastened to the Rue de Courcelles as she had hastened to the Rue d'Ulm? It was almost midnight when a slight noise, a sound of stealthy footsteps, made her turn. Madame Leon was leaving the room, and a moment later Marguerite heard the house-door leading into the garden open and shut again.
ON the morrow, punctually at one o'clock, Pierre reached the Rue d'Ulm, where Bertheroy resided in a fairly large house, which the State had placed at his disposal, in order that he might install in it a laboratory for study and research.
It was reported in the Rue d'Ulm that Pascal had spent every night at the gaming table for more than five years; and that, being an incomparable trickster, he had stolen millions. Meanwhile, Madame Ferailleur was approaching the station.
And if it were absolutely necessary for them to leave France ah, well! they would leave it. To them Fatherland would always be the spot where they lived together. As the cab approached the Rue d'Ulm she pictured Pascal's sorrow, and the joy and surprise he would feel when she suddenly appeared before him, and faltered: "They accuse you here I am! I know that you are innocent, and I love you!"
If through the length and breadth of Paris there is a really quiet, peaceful street, a refuge for the thoughtfully inclined, it is surely the broad Rue d'Ulm, which starts from the Place du Pantheon, and finishes abruptly at the Rue des Feuillantines. The shops are unassuming, and so few that one can easily count them.
Briefly, but with remarkable precision, Marguerite recounted the various incidents which had occurred her useless journey to the Rue d'Ulm, Madame Leon's strange midnight ramble and conversation with the Marquis de Valorsay, Madame de Fondege's letter, and lastly, her visit and all that she had said.
