It was the duty of us young folk to lead the dancing a pleasant task enough, if we could have chosen our partners among the pretty women whom I was beginning to notice, in spite of my being only fourteen, and of whom there were many, especially at Grandville and St. Lo. But our partners were given to us officially, and were chosen from the families of the authorities.
These three women are stationed in the parish of Pomquete, one of the three parishes with which I am especially charged, and of which mention has been made at the beginning of this narrative. It is a good little parish, composed of French people, born most of them at St Malo, Dinan or Grandville.
He made the audience shudder at the probable condition of the senator; then he massed together proofs, half-proofs, and probabilities with a cleverness stimulated by a sense that his zeal was certain of its reward, and sat down tranquilly to await the fire of his opponents. Monsieur de Grandville never argued but this one criminal case; and it made his reputation.
Monsieur de Grandville, for that was his name, accepted the defence of the four young men, being glad of an opportunity to make his first appearance as an advocate with distinction. The old marquis, alarmed at the ravages which troubles had wrought in Laurence's appearance, was charmingly kind and considerate.
The Limoges women accused her of being in love with Monsieur de Grandville, who certainly paid her assiduous attention, to which Veronique opposed all the barriers of a conscientious resistance. The viscount professed for her one of those respectful attachments which did not blind the habitual visitors of her salon.
Tascheron was maddened; I swear it." Here Veronique turned her eyes upon Monsieur de Grandville, and a sob was heard to issue from Denise Tascheron's breast.

The unhappy man, misled by his love, went headlong from a delinquent act to crime from robbery to a double murder.
Monsieur de Grandville here called attention to the fact that as the crime was not committed until after two o'clock in the afternoon, the prosecution had no ground to question their word when they stated the manner in which they had employed their morning. The prosecutor replied that the prisoners had an interest in concealing their preparations for the abduction of the senator.
"The case cannot be successfully defended," said Monsieur de Grandville. "The less so," continued Bordin, "because we cannot tell the whole truth. Michu and the Messieurs de Simeuse and d'Hauteserre must hold to the assertion that you merely went for an excursion into the forest and returned to Cinq-Cygne for luncheon.
"Whose pretty little footmarks could he have taken such pains to efface while he left his own?" said Monsieur de Grandville. "Pooh! I dare say she was an ugly woman," said the procureur-du-roi. "She has paid dearly for her sin," observed the Abbe de Grancour. "Do you know what this affair shows?" cried Monsieur de Grandville.
Her friends had thought of everything; the salon was occupied exclusively by themselves and the servants of the household. In the front rank and grouped before the door of the bedroom were her nearest friends, those on whose discretion reliance could be placed. MM. Grossetete, de Grandville, Roubaud, Gerard, Clousier, Ruffin, took the first places.
