"Come in, James;" and he entered with his wife, "I have brought Juliana, my dear Mr. Desgranges, the poor woman she must see you sometimes, must she not?" "You did right, James. Sit down." He came forward, pushing his stick before him, that he might not knock against a chair. He found one, and seated himself.
"'If you were not blind, would every one love you, as we love you? "'It is true, Mr. Desgranges, it is true. "'You see, James, there are misfortunes in all families. Misfortune is like rain; it must fall a little on everybody. If you were not blind, your wife would, perhaps, be sick; one of your children might have died.
"I do not need even that," said the blind man; "when he passes me in the street, I say to myself, 'That is his step." And, seizing the hand of Mr. Desgranges, he kissed it with ardour. "It was indeed you, Mr. Desgranges, who prevented my falling always you." "Why," said the young man, "do you expose yourself to such accidents, by dragging this cask?"
Afterwards M. Desgranges, master of the ceremonies, having announced that Louis XV was visible, the king of Denmark, preceded by his gentlemen and the French ministers and lords, went to the king's cabinet, in which two arm-chairs precisely alike were prepared, but his majesty of Denmark positively refused to be seated.
I was ashamed of the precarious assistance. I felt that here was a call for something more than mere almsgiving the charity of a day. I soon formed my resolution." "But what could you do?" said the young man, to Mr. Desgranges. "What could I do?" replied he, with animation. "Fifteen days after, James was saved. A year after, he gained his own living, and might be heard singing at his work."
At the end of three days, here we are with the cask, he harnessed and drawing it, I behind, pushing; we were ashamed at crossing the village, as if we were doing something wrong; it seemed as if everybody would laugh at us. But Mr. Desgranges was there in the street. "'Come on, James, said he, 'courage.
You will see the unfortunate man going step by step out of a bottomless abyss to begin his life again to create his soul anew. You will see how a blind man, with a noble heart for a stay, makes his way even in this world." While they were conversing, they reached the house of Mr. Desgranges, who began in this manner:
Desgranges called him back. "I want to tell you a piece of news which will give you pleasure. I was going to leave the village this year; but I have just taken a new lease of five years of my landlady." "Do you see, Juliana," said James to his wife, turning round, "I was right when I said he was going away." "How," replied Mr. Desgranges, "I had told them not to tell you of it."
Baudeloque speaks of a case of superfetation observed by Desgranges in Lyons in 1780. After the birth of the first infant the lochia failed to flow, no milk appeared in the breasts, and the belly remained large. In about three weeks after the accouchement she had connection with her husband, and in a few days felt fetal movements.
Charras assuredly would not have hesitated. We have already mentioned the names of these police rascals. It is useless to repeat them. It was Courtille who arrested Charras, Lerat who arrested Changarnier, Desgranges who arrested Nadaud.
