Towards the end of that winter the worthy Abbe de Grancey died. This good friend no longer stood between Madame de Watteville and her daughter, to soften the impact of those two iron wills. The event he had foretold took place.
The Vicar-General, the dear Abbe Grancey, the friend of the late Archbishop, clever as he was in his capacity of the chief Father Confessor of the diocese, could not discover whether the struggle had stirred up some hatred between the mother and daughter, whether the mother were jealous in anticipation, or whether the court Amedee was paying to the girl through her mother had not overstepped its due limits.
The number of the persons from whom a choice was made was, however, very limited. Even very high military rank did not suffice. M. de Vauban, at the siege of Namur, was overwhelmed by the distinction. The King did the same honour at Namur to the Abbe de Grancey, who exposed himself everywhere to confess the wounded and encourage the troops. No other Abbe was ever so distinguished.
He now adopted greater caution, placing his gamekeepers in a body to remain ready at call, and at different points setting his friends in easy reach of each other. Grancey and he crept along, guided by the uncertain sounds of the song, but found that they grew fainter. On this they retraced their path and were gratified to hear the sound increase again.
One evening, Grancey chose to hide herself in one of the recesses formed by the windows in the chamber of the former lady, who, not thinking she was heard, conversed very freely with the Marquise d'Allure, respecting the libertine life of Grancey; in the course of which she said several strange things respecting the treatment which her lovers had experienced from her.
Never did bird of Michaelmas fling off water from her feathers more thoroughly than this fair young lady the false title she pretended to assume. 'I hear you're of the dinner party at Grancey Lespel's on Wednesday, the colonel said to Beauchamp. 'You'll have to stand fire. 'They will, papa, murmured Cecilia. 'Will Mr. Austin be there? 'I particularly wish to meet Mr. Austin, said Beauchamp.

"I told him it was against my duty, sir; but he told me I must never dispute the Church, so he walked in and examined everything everything; he even opened the cupboards." "The thief! If you allow that man in my apartment again I will spit you both. Remember!" Grancey and d'Amoreau came in. "Curses on that black beetle," exclaimed the latter. "Amen," profoundly echoed the former.
The shock to her had been intense, and burying her face in her handkerchief she burst into tears, which more than ever agitated Lecour. In a few minutes d'Estaing and de Grancey drove up. They were astonished at the speed and audacity of the affair.
We throw open the curacoa to the intelligence and industry of the assembled guests; we carry the right of the multitude to our host's cigars by a majority. C'est un farceur que notre bon petit cousin. Lespel says it is sailorlike to do something of this sort after a cruise. Nevil's Radicalism would have been clever anywhere out of Bevisham. Of all boroughs! Grancey Lespel knows it.
