Ah, my child!" he continued, "when women come to appreciate moral qualities, they are indifferent to others; and they are then old Oh! I have suffered deeply, yes, deeply!" "And I, in the same way," said Godefroid. "Under the Empire," said the worthy man, resuming his narrative, "the Funds did not always pay their dividends regularly; it was necessary to be prepared for suspensions of payment.
"For three days Godefroid beheld Isaure in the camera obscura of his brain his Isaure with her white camellias and the little ways she had with her head saw her as you see the bright thing on which you have been gazing after your eyes are shut, a picture grown somewhat smaller; a radiant, brightly-colored vision flashing out of a vortex of darkness."
Ah! does she not even triumph over Job in never murmuring? Can you wonder that her words are so powerful, her old age so young, her soul so communicative, her glance so convincing? She has obtained extraordinary powers in dealing with sufferers, for she has suffered all things." "She is the living image of Charity!" cried Godefroid, fervently. "Can I ever be one of you?"
Just then a gentle rap was heard at the door of the outer room. Godefroid, glad of the interruption, having got all he wanted to know out of Madame Vauthier, went to open it. "What is said, is said, Madame Vauthier," he remarked as he did so. The visitor was Monsieur Bernard. "Ah! Monsieur Bernard," cried the widow when she saw him, "I've got a letter downstairs for you."
He persuaded the widow to return to Normandy; where she completed the education of her daughter and purchased on excellent terms and still by the advice of her uncle, a patrimonial estate." "Ah!" cried Godefroid. "All that is still nothing," said Monsieur Alain; "we have not yet reached the period of storms and darkness.
Godefroid sat down as if to put his ideas in order, for he had gone through more emotion during this one morning than he had often done in the agitated months of his life; but above all, his curiosity was keenly excited.
"Rastignac made this last remark in a way which set Beaudenord thinking that his friend had his own motives for disenchanting him; Beaudenord had not been a diplomatist for nothing; he fancied that Rastignac wanted to cut him out. If a man mistakes his vocation, the false start none the less influences him for the rest of his life. Godefroid was so evidently smitten with Mlle.
To leave room for the boy to pass, the gardener had stepped back to the sill of Godefroid's door, and as at that moment Nepomucene arrived with a quantity of wood, the creditor was forced to retreat into the room. "Monsieur Bernard!" cried the widow Vauthier, "do you think Monsieur Godefroid hired his rooms to have you hold your meetings in them?"
The priest and Godefroid were both surprised when they entered together the rue Massilon, which is opposite to the small north portal of the cathedral, and turned together into the rue Chanoinesse, at the point where, towards the rue de la Colombe, it becomes the rue des Marmousets.
Her words were, in fact, a double illumination to Godefroid; the curious scene between himself and the gardener was now explained. "Well," she resumed, "they have got him now. Where is he to find three thousand francs? They intend to offer him five hundred the day he puts the first volume of his book into their hands, and five hundred for each succeeding volume.
