This resignation, and the fears far beyond the grave, had painfully affected Lady d'Harville; she whispered to the sister who came to inform her that Miss de Fermont was completely restored, "Is the condition of this young woman really desperate?" "Alas! yes, madame; La Lorraine is given up; she has not perhaps, a week to live."
I am going to the roof; in ten minutes I will descend, and take the money as I pass." Micou handed the letter to Madame de Fermont, and disappeared. "The letter is from Normandy. On the stamp is Aubiers; it is from M. d'Orbigny!" cried Madame de Fermont examining the address. "Well, mamma, was I right?" "Oh, how my heart beats!
And the Big Cripple, as they called him at Ravageurs' Island, descended the stairs, uttering horrible oaths. Madame de Fermont, fearing that he might return, and seeing the lock broken, drew the table against the door to barricade it. Claire had been so alarmed at this horrible scene that she had fallen on her cot almost without emotion, with a violent attack of the nerves.
Preceded by the director, she advanced rapidly toward the group assembled around the bed, when these words were heard, pronounced with indignation: "I tell you that it is murder you will kill her, sir." "But, my dear Saint Reiny, listen then " "I repeat to you, sir, that your conduct is atrocious. I regard Miss de Fermont as my daughter.
Madame de Fermont, forgetting her own alarm, ran to her daughter, pressed her in her arms, made her drink a little water, and, with the most tender caresses, succeeded in calming her. "Be composed, my poor child the bad man has gone away." Then the wretched mother cried, with a touching accent, "Yet it is this notary who is the cause of all our troubles.
"In mercy, sir," said she to the director, with the greatest anxiety, "conduct me to Miss de Fermont." "Be good enough to follow me, my lady," answered the director, respectfully. "She is at No. 17, in this hall." "Unfortunate child! here, here!" said Lady d'Harville, wiping her eyes; "oh, it is frightful!"
I leave you now." "You leave without seeing Florestan?" "This interview would be too painful for me you must comprehend. I only braved it in the hopes of obtaining some information about Madame de Fermont, wishing to neglect no means to find her. Now adieu!" "Oh, you are without pity!" "Do you not know?" "I know that your son has never had more need of your counsels." "Is he not rich happy?"
He withheld a large sum of money, intrusted verbally to him, from its owner, the Baroness Fermont, and impoverished her and her daughter; he had seduced his servant Louise Morel, caused her imprisonment on a charge of child-murder, driving her father, a working jeweler, insane, and menacing the destruction of the whole family but Rudolph was at hand to support them.
All was done fairly; but, my lord's father showed, they say, such ferocious joy at seeing the Pole mortally wounded, that his relation, M. de Fermont, was obliged to drag him away; the count wishing to see, as he said, his enemy expire under his eyes." "What a man! what a man!"
A confused movement announced the arrival of Dr. Griffon, who soon entered the hall, accompanied by his friend the Count de Saint Remy, who, having a deep interest in Madame de Fermont and her daughter, was far from expecting to find the latter unfortunate girl in the hospital. As he came into the ward, the cold and stern features of Dr. Griffon seemed to light up with a glow of satisfaction.
