"A pretty woman," said Jacques Collin, who knew exactly how to manage his dreadful tools. "The moll is a beauty; she is well informed, and stands by her mates, and a first-rate hand. Yes, la Gonore has made a new man of you! What a flat you must be to risk your nut when you have a trip like her at home! You noodle; you should have set up some respectable little shop and lived quietly.
"The shop is kept by la Gonore," Jacques Collin went on. "Now I see how she managed to find you. It all fits beautifully. You may go back to la Gonore. To go on: Jacqueline will arrange with Madame Nourrisson to purchase her business in the Rue Sainte-Barbe; and if you manage well, child, you may make a fortune out of it," he said to Prudence. "An Abbess at your age!
"Well, then I want to leave the money to la Gonore," replied la Pouraille piteously. "What! Are you living with Moses' widow the Jew who led the swindling gang in the South?" asked Jacques Collin. For Trompe-la-Mort, like a great general, knew the person of every one of his army. "That's the woman," said la Pouraille, much flattered.
All the chickens were gone to roost. The shiners are three feet underground behind some wine-bottles. And I spread some stones and mortar over them." "Good," said Jacques Collin. "And the others?" "Ruffard's pieces are with la Gonore in the poor woman's bedroom, and he has her tight by that, for she might be nabbed as accessory after the fact, and end her days in Saint-Lazare." "The villain!
Saint-Esteve puts a woman in to keep the shop " "La Gonore," said Jacqueline. "Poor la Pouraille's moll," said Paccard. "That is where I bolted to with Europe the day that poor Madame van Bogseck died, our mis'ess." "Who jabbers when I am speaking?" said Jacques Collin. Perfect silence fell in the coach. Paccard and Prudence did not dare look at each other.
Oh, when that man takes a fancy to you, he has not his match for good-nature." "Now, my jewel," said Jacques Collin to his aunt, "you must take la Gonore in hand; she must be humbugged.
"Yes." "It is a risky game." "No; I owed that poor Theodore his life, and he is reprieved." "And you?" "I I shall be what I ought to be. I shall always make our set shake in their shoes. But we must get to work. Go and tell Paccard to be off as fast as he can go, and see that Europe does as I told her." "That is a trifle; I know how to deal with la Gonore," said the terrible Jacqueline.
As soon as Godet and Ruffard are nabbed, they will be supposed to have got rid of what is missing from their shares. And I will make Godet believe that I have saved a hundred thousand francs for him, and that la Gonore has done the same for la Pouraille and Ruffard.
