But her studies were particularly directed to the acquisition of a correct and elegant style of reading. Rochon de Chabannes, Duclos, Barthe, Marmontel, and Thomas took pleasure in hearing her recite the finest scenes of Racine.

A mother and act as she did! She herself was to blame, and only she for what happened to that beautiful girl so young so sweet so innocent. I have a weakness for youth. To me a girl of that type is sacred. Had I been blessed with such a child But there, I am straying again from our point. What makes you say Madame Duclos knew me?"

Derues felt some alarm in his dungeon, but his presence of mind and his dissimulation in no wise deserted him, and he swore afresh every day to the truth of his statements. But his last false assertion turned against him: the bond for a hundred thousand livres which he professed to have given to Duclos was a counterfeit which Duclos had annulled by a sort of counter declaration made the same day.
