Joanne does not mention it; Murray does not mention it; it does not come within the range of De Caumont's Statistique Routière de la Basse Normandie. A little local book on Coutances and its neighbourhood looks upon Hauteville either as too far off or unworthy of notice.
This was a greater point than the expense. Wonders should be done. There were now five hundred men working for Hauteville House; there should be a thousand for Hauteville Castle. Carte Blanche, Carte Blanche, Carte Blanche! On his arrival in Yorkshire the Duke had learnt that the Dacres were in Norfolk on a visit.
"M. Gibelin says I take orders from him." "We'll see about this," muttered M. Paul, and crossing the little bridge, he entered the courtyard of the Palais de Justice and hurried up to the office of Judge Hauteville. On the stairs he met Gibelin, fat and perspiring. "See here," he said abruptly, "what have you done with that auger?" "Put it in the department of old iron," rasped the other.
James robbed his coat of its rose, and offered it on his knee to Mademoiselle, who presented it with Parisian feeling to her rival. The scene was as superb as anything at the Académie. An Impromptu Excursion 'WE CERTAINLY must have a masque, said the young Duke, as he threw himself into his chair, satisfied with his performance. 'You must open Hauteville with one, said Mrs. Dallington.
It was not Papa Tignol, however, who was to furnish this information, but the discomfited Gibelin whose presence in the outer office was at this moment announced by the judge's clerk.

Sir Carte was sent in to touch up the gilding and make a few temporary improvements; and Lady Fitz-pompey pledged herself to organise the whole establishment ere the full season commenced and the early Easter had elapsed, which had now arrived. It had arrived, and the young Duke had departed to his chief family seat, Hauteville Castle, in Yorkshire.
The young Duke was seized with a violent desire to live in a genuine Gothic castle: each day his refined taste was outraged by discovering Roman windows and Grecian doors. He determined to emulate Windsor, and he sent for Sir Carte. Sir Carte came as quick as thunder after lightning. He was immediately struck with Hauteville, particularly with its capabilities.
"No offense," said M. Paul, "but this is a case where even as able a judge as yourself must have special assistance and Gibelin couldn't find the truth in a thousand years. Do you think he's fit to handle this case?" "Officially I have no opinion," answered Hauteville guardedly, "but I don't mind telling you personally that I I'm sorry to lose you." "Thanks," said M. Paul.
So the matter was settled, and it came to pass that Daniel Tribbledale and Clara Demijohn were married at Holloway on that very Thursday which saw completed the alliance which had been so long arranged between the noble houses of Powell and De Hauteville.
