I thought I ought to tell, and said so; adding that I did not believe there would be either stir or esclandre: Madame was much too prudent to make a noise about an affair of that sort connected with her establishment. He stood looking down and meditating. He was both too proud and too honourable to entreat my secresy on a point which duty evidently commanded me to communicate.
"Shocking! shocking! all came to an eclat esclandre; a scene quite, last night, I am told, at my friend Lady Castlefort's. Sad sad so young a lady!
"Ay; but think of the cursed esclandre first the duel, then the expulsion, then my disappearance for two months ... My mother was in bad health at the time, too; and I, her favorite son I in short, the anxiety was too much for her. She she died before I had been six weeks in the regiment. There! we won't talk of it. It's the one subject that ..." His voice faltered, and he broke off abruptly.
And your mother and your friends what a pain it would have been to them!" urged Pen's companion, little knowing what grief and annoyance these good people had already suffered. "Not a word to my mother!" Pen cried out, in a state of great alarm, "She would never get over it. An esclandre of that sort would kill her, I do believe.
He was relieved by her decision, not merely because the last thread of comradeship between them was broken, but because he dreaded the exposure of the cupboard skeleton, which was always putting out a ghastly head at him. In a great city like Paris there might arise an occasion of escape from control at any moment, and Heaven alone knew what esclandre might ensue upon a single escapade.

I find he has had so much consideration for me as to tell no one our relation; and as he has never spoken to me, I do the most prudent thing I can, and take no notice.
Mosgrave walked up and down the room once or twice before he spoke again. "I will not discuss the probabilities of the suspicion which distresses you, Mr. Audley," he said, presently, "but I will tell you this much, I do not advise any esclandre. This Mr. George Talboys has disappeared, but you have no evidence of his death.
All in Paris are talking of the esclandre of the late trial in London; and the comments made on it by the French prove how different are the views of morality taken by them and us.
Ten years back, in the pride of my giddy youth, I held a Junior Sub's commission in the Lancers in India. This is just a synopsis of my case, mind! . . . Well! the regiment was lying at Rawal Pindi, and I guess I kind of ran amuck there got myself into a rotten esclandre entirely my own fault I'll admit: Man is fire, and Woman is tow, And the Devil, he comes and begins to blow
"But though the Vicomte de Mauleon has disappeared, he must have left relations at Paris, who would perhaps know what has become of him and of his niece." "I doubt it. He had no very near relations. The nearest was an old celibataire of the same name, from whom he had some expectations, but who died shortly after this esclandre, and did not name the Vicomte in his will.
