Assisted by their admirable spirit of justice and of sympathy for all that is good, by their noble heart, by a character at once delicate and courageous, they had observed and meditated much during the last twenty-four hours. "Sister," said Rose to Blanche, when Frances had quitted the room, "Dagobert's poor wife is very uneasy.
Mother Bunch, as we shall therefore call her in future, was born in the house in which Dagobert's wife had resided for more than twenty years; and she had, as it were, been brought up with Agricola and Gabriel. There are wretches fatally doomed to misery.
"I entreat you, my dear," cried Frances, throwing herself in a fright before Dagobert, who was hastening towards the door; "only think, to what you will expose yourself! Heavens! insult a priest? Why, it is one of the reserved cases!" These last words, which appeared most alarming to the simplicity of Dagobert's wife, did not make any impression upon the soldier.
Rose and Blanche were now left alone, in the absence of Dagobert's wife. They were still dressed in mourning, their charming faces seeming even more pensive than usual.
The half-caste, Faringhea, remained with the young prince, not wishing, he said, to desert a fellow countryman. We now conduct the reader to the Rue Brise-Miche, the residence of Dagobert's wife. The following scenes occur in Paris, on the morrow of the day when the shipwrecked travellers were received in Cardoville House.
"Yes, father; when must I bring the orphans to your house?" "In an hour. I will write to the superior, and leave the letter with my housekeeper. She is a trusty person, and will conduct the young girls to the convent." After she had listened to the exhortations of her confessor, and received absolution for her late sins, on condition of performing penance, Dagobert's wife left the confessional.
If thy comrade, Spoil-sport, was here, he would keep you in heart; but he is along with the children, and takes care of them in my absence. Come, eat! Instead of staring at me in that way." But the horse, having just touched the oats with his mouth, as if in obedience to his master, returned to them no more, and began to nibble at the sleeve of Dagobert's coat.
"Why do you pause, sister?" "What I am about to say would make other people laugh; but you will understand it. Yesterday, when Dagobert's wife saw poor Spoil-sport at his dinner, she said, sorrowfully: 'Alas! he eats as much as a man! so that I could almost have cried to hear her. They must be very poor, and yet we have come to increase their poverty."
Though the orphans took no part in this melancholy conversation, the sorrow and anxiety depicted in their countenances, showed how much they felt for the sufferings of Dagobert's wife. "But the young lady?" cried Frances. "You should have tried to see her, my good Mother Bunch, and begged her not to abandon my son.
The address of this letter was as follows: "A Monsieur Rodin, Rue du Milieu-des-Ursins, No, 11, A Paris, France." Dagobert's anxiety increased every moment.
