She took Godefroid's hand and pressed it, then she said, with strange emotion, "It is well." That evening, after dinner, visitors came in: a vicar-general of the diocese of Paris, two canons, two former mayors of Paris, and one of the ladies who distributed the charities of Notre-Dame.

While speaking, she studied Godefroid's face; he, on his part, did not know how to take this extraordinary confidence.
