Since it has occurred to you you who wish the acquittal of this poor boy that the testimony of Madame Dammauville may be vitiated by the simple fact that it comes from a sick woman, it is incontestable, is it not, that this same idea will occur to those who wish for his conviction?
"Would one wish to admit that Madame Dammauville had kept silent on so grave a matter, and waited for an audience to reveal it?" "This silence she kept until yesterday; why should she not keep it a few days longer? It is evident that if she had not related what she saw, it is because she had reasons for being silent.
The day of the trial arrived without a word from Madame Thezard, which proved that Madame Dammauville had said nothing to her friend. It was six months since the assassination occurred, and the affair had lost all interest for the Parisian public; in the provinces it was still spoken of, but at Paris it was a thing of the past.
He went to the armchair on which he had placed his coat and hat, and bending down to take them, he noiselessly turned the draught of the stove. At the same time Madame Dammauville pulled the bellcord; the maid opened the door of the salon. "Show Doctor Saniel to the door."
"That is exactly the question that the concierge was not able to answer; so I decided to go to see Madame Dammauville again." "You are courageous," the mother said with pride. "I assure you that I was not so on going up-stairs. After what I had heard of her character, it was truly audacious to go a second time, after an interval of two hours, to trouble her, but it was necessary.
For several months he had enjoyed a complete security, which convinced him that all danger was over forever. But all at once this danger burst forth under such conditions that he must recognize that there could never more be any security for him. To-day Madame Dammauville menaced him; tomorrow it would be some one else. Who? He did not know. Every one.
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?"
If the old woman tells you nothing interesting, you must go to Madame Dammauville, and make some reason for seeing her. Make her talk, and you will notice if her ideas are consecutive, and examine her face and eyes. Above all, neglect nothing that appears to you characteristic.
I spoke of your book on the diseases of the spinal cord, which was quite natural; and as she manifested a desire to read it, I offered to lend it to her." "Was that natural?" "With any but Madame Dammauville, no; but she is not frivolous. I took the book to her two days ago, and she has just told me that, after reading it, she has decided to send for you."
The inquest would decide this; as for him, he could only prove the death. On leaving him the evening before, Phillis, uneasy, told him that she would come early in the morning to know what Madame Dammauville wished. When he told her she was dead she was prostrated with despair; in that case Florentin was lost. He tried to reassure her, but without success.
