Public opinion, already incensed against Jacques, will become implacable." However, the meal came to an end; and M. Folgat went up to Dionysia, saying, "I must beg of you, madam, to trust me with the key to the little garden-gate." She looked at him quite astonished. "I have to see a detective secretly, who has promised me his assistance." "Is he here?" "He came this morning."
Deeply moved, M. Folgat had watched the old gentleman's grief. Now he said, "Do not blame M. de Boiscoran, sir, now that every thing is against him! Of all of us, he suffers, after all, most; for he is innocent." "Do you still think so?" "More than ever. Little as he has said, he has told Miss Dionysia enough to confirm me in my conjecture, and to prove to me that I have guessed right." "When?"
What a fury he would be in, if he should ever find out that I have betrayed all the secrets of the investigation, that I have carried letters to and from the prisoner, that I have made of Trumence an accomplice, and of Blangin the jailer an agent, that I have helped Miss Dionysia to visit her betrothed in jail!"
And pressing the lawyer's arm hard, he went on, "And do you not understand that her memory kills me, and that my misery is all the greater as I know but too well what bliss I am losing? Do you not see that I love Dionysia as woman never was loved before? Ah, if my life alone was at stake! I, at least, I have to make amends for a great wrong; but she Great God, why did I ever come across her path?"
Every morning he received three or four, from the marchioness or M. Folgat, from M. Seneschal or M. Magloire, from M. de Chandore, Dionysia, or even from Dr. Seignebos. Thus he could follow at a distance all the phases, and even the smallest changes, in the proceedings. Only one thing he would not do: he would not come down, however important his coming might be for his son. He did not move.
Now the Tarentini were celebrating the Dionysia, and sitting gorged with wine in the theatre of an afternoon suspected that he was sailing against them as an enemy.
O, come hither, thou that west born at sea, buried at Tarsus, and found at sea again. O Helicanus, down on your knees, thank the holy gods! This is Marina. Now blessings on thee, my child! Give me fresh garments, mine own Helicanus! She is not dead at Tarsus as she should have been by the savage Dionysia. She shall tell you all, when you shall kneel to her and call her your very princess.
He also manages the contests at the Dionysia and the Thargelia. These, then, are the festivals which he superintends. The suits and indictments which come before him, and which he, after a preliminary inquiry, brings up before the lawcourts, are as follows.
These contests occurred thrice a year, at three several festivals of Bacchus . But it was at the great Dionysia, held at the end of March and commencement of April, that the principal tragic contests took place.
What a wretched thing a woman is who is abandoned, who resigns, and sheds tears! "Then she went on fiercely, "'Confess that you have never loved me really! "'Ah, you know very well the contrary! "'Still you abandon me for another, for that Dionysia! "'You are married: you cannot be mine. "'Then if I were free if I had been a widow' "'You would be my wife you know very well.
