But apropos of police," answered Dubois, continuing to undress, "do you know that yours have slept infernally during three or four months, and that if this continues I shall be obliged to withdraw you from the superintendence?" "Ah! diable!" cried La Fillon; "this is the way you treat your old friends. I come to make a revelation; well, you shall not know it." "A revelation! and what about?"
La Fillon was going toward the door, when at that moment an usher entered. "Monseigneur," said he, "here is a man who wants to speak to your eminence." "And who is he, idiot?" "An employé of the royal library, who, in his spare time, makes copies." "And what does he want?" "He says that he has an important revelation to make to your eminence." "Oh! it is some poor fellow begging."
D'Harmental had not forgotten that Madame de Maine waited with anxiety for the result of the interview. He did not trouble himself, therefore, about what had become of La Fillon, whom he did not see on leaving; and having gone down the Rue des Feuillons, he passed along the Champs-Elysées, which, without being altogether deserted, was nevertheless almost solitary.
"Pshaw! take away my superintendence; scoundrel that you are." "Is it relating to Spain?" asked the archbishop, frowning, and feeling instinctively that the danger came from thence. "It relates to nothing at all. Good-evening." And La Fillon made toward the door.
If our readers desire to know how the plot had been discovered, they must recall the conversation between Dubois and La Fillon. The gossip of the prime minister, it will be remembered, suspected Roquefinette of being mixed up in some illicit proceeding, and had denounced him on condition of his life being spared.
"Oh! you know that sometimes I am worse than the prodigal son, and it depends on you to make me so." "I will do my best." "Then day by day I shall know what your captain does?" "You shall." "On what faith?" "On the faith of an honest woman." "Something better." "On the faith of Fillon." "That will do." "Adieu, monseigneur the archbishop." "Adieu, gossip."
He watched with a personal interest the hatreds and plots which might reach the prince; and more than once, by the aid of a police often better managed than that of the lieutenant-general, and which extended, by means of Madame de Tencin, into the highest aristocracy, and, by means of La Fillon, to the lowest grades of society, he had defeated conspiracies of which Messire Voyer d'Argenson had not even heard a whisper.
He presented himself at La Fillon's with the same tranquillity as before, although many things were altered in his life since then, and having been, as before, received by the mistress of the house in person he inquired if Captain Roquefinette were visible. Without doubt La Fillon had expected a much less moral demand; for on recognizing D'Harmental, she could not repress a movement of surprise.
Father Fillon was consultor to the Biblical Commission. His notes are short and useful to those who, having studied the psalms, can recall their meaning by a few brief hints. Its comments are too brief, but it gives the Latin text, English translation, notes on psalms and newly added canticles, and is arranged in the order in which they stand in the Pian psaltery. Sing Ye to the Lord, by Rev.
I wish, you understand, to know that, in order to regulate my conduct toward my adversary, and to know whether it is worth killing him." "That is only fair," answered the baron; "I will tell you everything as it passed. We were supping last night at La Fillon's. Of course you know La Fillon, captain?" "Pardieu! it was I who started her in the world, in 1705, before my Italian campaign."
