"If Monsieur Rogron had known it," said the deputy-judge, "he would never have left her all this time in an establishment of that kind. I remember now that a house in Nantes belonging to Monsieur and Madame Lorrain was sold under an order of the court, and that Mademoiselle Lorrain's claim was swallowed up. I know this, for I was commissioner at the time."
At that time Monsieur Tiphaine and his wife would be settled in Paris for the opening of the Chambers; and the ministerial party would be left without its head. Vinet had already worked upon Desfondrilles, the deputy-judge, in case the matter should go, after the hearing before the council, to the criminal courts.
"I was looking at you all," said the deputy-judge, "and I can swear that Pierrette saw no one's hand but the colonel's." "Pooh!" said Gouraud, alarmed, "little girls know how to slide their eyes into everything." "Ah!" exclaimed Sylvie. "Yes," continued Gouraud. "I dare say she looked into your hand to play you a trick. Didn't you, little one?"
The rest of the company had now arrived; among them the deputy-judge Desfondrilles, who for the last two months had abandoned the Tiphaine party and connected himself more or less with the Vinets.
