"Dutocq has already made them cut off the head of that poor Desroys." Thuillier. "Ah, my friend, if it were I myself, I couldn't be better pleased." Bixiou. Poiret. "Will any one tell me the meaning of all that is happening here to-day?" Bixiou. "Do you really want to know? Then listen.
If I know arithmetic that will give three empty places for us to fill " Bixiou. "Three places right under our noses, which will certainly be given to some bloated favorite, some spy, some pious fraud, to Colleville perhaps, whose wife has ended where all pretty women end in piety." Dutocq. Dutocq. "I don't wish to be anything more than under-head-clerk.
I hold that the less a debt is due, and therefore the more insecure and open to contention it is, the sooner one ought to free one's self by paying it." "But, my dear la Peyrade," said Dutocq, "why take this bitter tone?" Pulling from his pocket a portfolio, la Peyrade said: "Have you those notes with you, Dutocq?"
"Let us go; we must be at Cerizet's very early in the morning; we ought both of us to think over that affair; it is not so easy to manage as Cerizet seems to imagine." "Why not?" asked Dutocq, bringing his slice of tongue to eat in the salon. "Don't you know the law?" "I know enough of it to be aware of the dangers of the affair.
Dutocq related his good luck; des Lupeaulx's face as he listened expressed no approbation; and the spy ended in terror an account which began triumphantly. "Dutocq, you have put your finger between the bark and the tree," said the secretary, coldly.
Dutocq, in his close relation to the people, and also the justice of peace, will help me, above all, as I'm not acting for myself; and Colleville, as secretary of the mayor's office, can certainly manage to obtain another fourth of the votes." "You are right!" cried Thuillier. "I'm elected!" "Do you think so?" said la Peyrade, in a voice of the deepest sarcasm.
On this occasion the three servants were at their post, flattering themselves they should get a few fees; for a rumor of Rabourdin's nomination had spread through the ministry the night before, thanks to Dutocq.
That debt was dormant; it was in a chronic state; and you have waked it up and made it acute. The woman brought me the money and insisted on my keeping it, at a good rate of interest. I refused at first; then I agreed to place it in Dupuis's hands, explaining to her that it couldn't be withdrawn at once; but subsequently, when Dutocq pressed me, I decided, after all, to keep it myself."
I'm not a man of letters, but I'm a practical man'; and that's the way we battle it, page after page. I thought the sitting this afternoon would never end." "How unreasonable you are, my dear fellow," said Dutocq; "when a man wants to succeed he must have the courage to make sacrifices. Once married, you can lift your head."
"I shall go the general-secretary and lay a complaint in form; we must all resign in a body if such a man as that is put over us." Dutocq. "Gentlemen, listen to me; let us be prudent. If you rise at once in a body, we may all be accused of rancor and revenge. No, let the thing work, let the rumor spread quietly.
