Some Authors affirm, that a young Man having spilt some Seed in a Bath, a Girl afterwards Bathing in the same Water, the Seed was suck'd in by the Girls Womb, and she became with Child. But Monsieur Dionis is not of this Opinion: He will not allow the Womb an attractive Faculty, so as to suck up from the outer Extremity of the Neck, and oblige it to repair to its Cavity.
On this assurance, enforced by a nudge from Zelie, Minoret agreed to the purchase, and furnished the funds to pay off the mortgage due to the doctor's estate. The deed of sale was immediately drawn up by Dionis.
Goupil's argument produced what journalists who report the sittings of legislative assemblies are wont to call "profound sensation." "What does that signify?" cried Dionis.
The justice of peace accompanied the notary to the gate, asking him, but without showing any eagerness, what was the matter with Ursula. "I don't know," replied Dionis. Can she love him? Is there anything between them?" "At fifteen years of age? pooh!" replied Bongrand. "She was born in February, 1813; she'll be sixteen in four months." "I don't believe she ever saw him," said the judge.
Dionis, his predecessor, flourishes in the Chamber of Deputies, of which he is one of the finest ornaments, to the great satisfaction of the king of the French, who sees Madame Dionis at all his balls. Madame Dionis relates to the whole town of Nemours the particulars of her receptions at the Tuileries and the splendor of the court of the king of the French.
Madame Minoret, to whom her husband had given a handsome silver service costing twenty thousand francs, gave a magnificent dinner every Sunday, the day on which her son, the deputy procureur, came from Fontainebleau, bringing with him certain of his friends. On these occasions Zelie sent to Paris for delicacies obliging Dionis the notary to emulate her display.
"If you tease your uncle," continued Dionis, cutting short his head-clerk, "if you are not all of you very polite to Ursula, you will drive him into either a marriage or into making that private trust which Goupil speaks of, though I don't think him capable of that; it is a dangerous thing. As for marriage, that is easy to prevent.
"Yes, but see here, Monsieur Dionis," cried Cremiere, whose wife had been nudging him, "if the good man took the thing seriously and married his goddaughter to Desire, giving her the reversion of all the property, good-by to our share in it; if he lives five years longer uncle may be worth a million."
"Come, Monsieur Dionis," said Cremiere, taking the notary by the arm, "what do you advise me to do under the circumstances?"
"Pest!" cried Cremiere; "he can't take a step without that girl!" "Something must have happened to make old Portenduere accept his arm," said Massin. "So none of you have guessed that your uncle has sold his Funds and released that little Savinien?" cried Goupil. "He refused Dionis, but he didn't refuse Madame de Portenduere Ha, ha! you are all done for.
