The learning, indeed, lavished on the insoluble question involved in the psychology of the inferior animals is a proof at least of the all-inquisitive, redundant spirit of man. We have almost a literature in itself devoted to endeavours to interpret the language of brutes. Dupont de Nemours has discovered that dogs talk in vowels, using only two consonants, G, Z, when they are angry.
At its head were Barbe-Marbois, Pastoret, Vaublanc, Dumas, Portalis, Simeon, Troncon-Ducoudray, Dupont de Nemours, most of them members of the Right in the legislative assembly, and some of them avowed royalists. Their position soon became less equivocal and more aggressive, by the addition of those members elected in the year V.
"What, sir?" said the bailiff, interrupting Rodin; "Madame de la Sainte Colombe the lady who has bought us out?" "Do you know her?" "Yes, sir, she came last week to see the estate. My wife persists that she is a great lady; but between ourselves judging by certain words that I heard her speak " "You are full of penetration, my dear M. Dupont.
Dupont interrupted with a peremptory wave of his hand. "You may be right," he said. "But I'm not interested. Whatever the merits of the case are, the fact remains that you are mixed up in a labor brawl with foreigners. As I stated to you this morning, we are conservative and until you get matters adjusted amicably with your competitors, we do not care to go into your proposition further."
"You didn't fail to question the servants this morning, yet learned nothing?" "It was impossible to fix the blame..." "Have you used all your intelligence, I wonder?" "What do you mean?" "Have you reflected that, since Dupont got in after you came home, his accomplice in your household is most probably one of those who were up at that hour. Who were they?" "Only two. The footman, Leon..."
"What ruins us," replied Dupont senior, "is indifferentism. In a Section which contains nine hundred citizens with the right to vote there are not fifty attend the assembly. Yesterday we were eight and twenty." "Well then," said Gamelin, "citizens must be obliged to come under penalty of a fine."
"Well, I have thought." "Oh," cried the mother, "what a stupid reply! 'I have thought it over! I have thought it over! Thought WHAT over, I want to know!" "Well, everything." "Don't you know how to tell us what?" "I tell you, everything." "Why," exclaimed Madame Dupont, "you are an imbecile!" George stepped between his mother and the nurse. "Let me talk to her," he said.
A silence followed. When it was broken, it was by the entrance of the nurse. She had opened the door of the room and had been standing there for some moments, unheeded. Finally she stepped forward. "Madame," she said, "I have thought it over; I would rather go back to my home at once, and have only the five hundred francs." Madame Dupont stared at her in consternation.
"They say he is a Jesuit." Upon these words, M. Rodin burst into so hearty a laugh that the bailiff was quite struck dumb with amazement for the countenance of M. Rodin took a singular expression when he laughed. "A Jesuit!" he repeated, with redoubled hilarity; "a Jesuit! Now really, my dear M. Dupont, for a man of sense, experience, and intelligence, how can you believe such idle stories?
Lygon was conscious that the fifty dollars sent him every New Year for five years by Dupont had been sent with a purpose, and that he was now Dupont's tool. Debilitated, demoralised, how could he, even if he wished, struggle against this powerful confederate, as powerful in will as in body? Yet if he had his own way he would not go to Henderley.
