"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." "You or another; I have not mentioned any name.
As Madame Dammauville expressed surprise at seeing me again, I told her that what she had said to me was so serious, and might have such consequences for the life and honor of my brother, that I had thought of returning the next day, accompanied by a person familiar with the affair, before whom she would repeat her story; and that I came to ask her permission to present this person.
"On coming to live in this house, where it is not possible to have a furnace," Madame Dammauville went on, "I employed every means to shelter me from the cold, which I am sure is my great enemy. You can see that I have had weather-strips put at the doors, as well as at the windows."
"From Madame Dammauville," she said; "there is an answer." He left her in the vestibule, and returned to his office to read the letter. The dream had not lasted long; reality seized him with its pitiless hands. This letter, certainly, would announce the blow that menaced him. "If Dr.
"I heard," she said. "What a disappointment! But I cannot wish you to stay, since it is for Florentin that you leave me." As she walked toward the door he stopped her. "Embrace me once more." Never had he pressed her in such a long and passionate embrace. He had not a second of doubt; Madame Dammauville did not wish a professional visit from him.
She had not forgotten the furious anger, that was inexplicable and unjustifiable, with which he refused her request to see Madame Dammauville. He had thrust her away, wishing to break with her, and until she was a witness of this scene she never imagined that any one could put such violence into exasperation.
Also, when the chamber of the prosecution sent Florent to the assizes, the emotion of Madame Cormier and Phillis would not be too violent. Madame Dammauville would be in a state to make her deposition, since the evening before she had been able to leave her bed; and although she left it for only an hour, and then to go from her bedroom to her parlor, that was enough.
Until he reached the house in the Rue Sainte-Anne he repeated this name and address to himself, which he could not write down, and which he must not forget, for it was from there now that the danger would come if Madame Dammauville had spoken.
Now, if he went to court, and from every point of view it was impossible that he should not go, he would meet Madame Dammauville, as she intended to be carried there if she were unable to go in any other way.
Before he could put the key in the lock, his door was opened by Phillis, who recognized his step on the landing. "Well?" "Your brother is saved." "Madame Dammauville will go to court?" "I promise you that he is saved." "By you?" "Yes, by me exactly." In her access of joy, she did not notice the accent on these last words. "Then you forgive me?"
