You understand that a deposition that destroys the whole plan of the prosecution will be severely disputed, and will only be accepted if Madame Dammauville has by her character and position a sufficient authority to break down all opposition." "I will also try to learn who is her doctor. You may know him. What he would tell you would be worth more than all the details that I could bring you."
Every day, on leaving Madame Dammauville, she came to tell him what she had learned, and for three successive days her story was the same: "She was not able to leave her bed." And each day he made the same reply: "It is the cold weather. Surely, we shall soon have a change; this frost and wind will not continue beyond the end of March."
"You should understand," she said with a little more calmness for, since he permitted her to speak, she hoped to convince him "that I have done all I could to bring Madame Dammauville to the idea of calling, in consultation with Monsieur Balzajette, a doctor " "Which would be myself."

Unfortunately, it is not ourselves who must be convinced, since we are convinced in advance. It is those who, in advance also, have one whom they will not give up unless he is torn from them by force." "But if Madame Dammauville saw clearly?"
In default of Madame Dammauville, Nougarede had summoned the concierge of Rue Sainte-Anne, as well as the maid and the cook, who had heard their mistress say that the man who drew Caffies curtains did not resemble Florentin's portrait; but this was only gossip repeated by persons of no importance, who could not produce the effect of the 'coup de theatre' on which he had based his defence.

"I told you what I thought of you," continued Balzajette. "It is with regard to this patient of whom you spoke to me; you remember?" "Madame Dammauville?" "Exactly. I put her on her feet, as I told you, but since then this bad weather has compelled her to take to her bed again.
