"As inspiration counsels you. You have the luck." But his luck had died. The two louis were lost. They gave him two others, which won eight. "You see, dear friend." He went on, with varying luck, winning and losing. At the end of a quarter of an hour they permitted him to go. "And what are you going to do now?" Duphot asked. "To send what I owe to my creditors by telegraph."
He told her how he had played and won, without stating the exact sum; also the propositions of the Prince Mazzazoli, the meeting with Duphot, and the telegram to Jardine. "Oh! What happiness!" she said, pressing him in her arms. "You are free!" "No more creditors! I am my own master. You see it was a good inspiration. Justice willed it."

On other days we would go along the boulevards, and I would post myself at the corner of the Rue Duphot; I had heard that Swann was often to be seen passing there, on his way to the dentist's; and my imagination so far differentiated Gilberte's father from the rest of humanity, his presence in the midst of a crowd of real people introduced among them so miraculous an element, that even before we reached the Madeleine I would be trembling with emotion at the thought that I was approaching a street from which that supernatural apparition might at any moment burst upon me unawares.
It needed this recommendation at such a moment, or Saniel would not have opened it, which he did as soon as he entered his rooms. "I do not wish, my dear Doctor, to leave Paris for Monaco, where I go to pass two or three months, without sending you our thanks. "Yours very gratefully, "C. DUPHOT."
His first impulse was to refuse. Of what use to give alms to this old monkey? But, after all, it did not cost much to pay his witness five louis, and he gave them to him. "A thousand thanks! This evening, at ten o'clock." As Saniel left the room he found himself face to face with his old comrade Duphot, who was accompanied by a woman, the same whom he had cured.
"He wanted to see you, and the third-floor gentleman also about the rent." "Dear Richard! What an admirable memory he has for dates! Did he leave any message, Madame Duphôt?" The old woman looked at me, and hesitated. "He says, M'sieur Müller he says ..." "Nay, this gentleman is a friend you may speak out.

He told her how he had played and won, without stating the exact sum; also the propositions of the Prince Mazzazoli, the meeting with Duphot, and the telegram to Jardine. "Oh!

It was a very painful little drama that was stirring our four hearts in this little bourgeois home, and the result of it was that I settled down finally with my little sister in the flat in the Rue Duphot.
