So much money for the land threw them into a sort of respectful stupor. However, Monsieur Gallard, bending toward Sandrier, the solicitor who had bid for him, whispered something in his ear. The struggle began between Gibert and Sandrier. The bids rose to 2,500,000 francs. Monsieur Gallard hesitated for a moment decided continued up to 3,000,000. Then he stopped and the whole went to Gibert.
But little Gibert, the solicitor, who was seated in the first row, and till then had given no sign of life, rose and said calmly, 'I have a purchaser for the four lots together at 2,200,000 francs. This was like a thunderbolt. A tremendous clamor arose, followed by a dead silence. The hall was filled with farmers and laborers from the neighborhood. Two million francs!
Every one rushed on him, they surrounded they crushed him: 'The name, the name of the purchaser? 'It is an American, replied Gibert, 'Mrs. Scott." "Mrs. Scott!" cried Paul de Lavardens. "You know her?" asked Madame de Lavardens. "Do I know her? do I not at all. But I was at a ball at her house six weeks ago." "At a ball at her house! and you don't know her! What sort of woman is she, then?"
