And, in the meantime, will you forgive me for taking a liberty in the office, rather than intrude on your grief so soon after the death of my dear and honored master?"
The first thing he did was to take Godeschal, Mariette's brother, as his head-clerk." "At Paris," said Blondet, "there are attorneys of two shades. There is the honest man attorney; he abides within the province of the law, pushes on his cases, neglects no one, never runs after business, gives his clients his honest opinion, and makes them compromise on doubtful points he is a Derville, in short.
As the head-clerk of a notary, my heart is a locked box, padlocked! My mouth never opens to let out anything about a client. I know all, and I know nothing. Besides, my passion is well known. I love Modeste; she is my pupil, and she must make a good marriage. I'll fool the duke, if need be; and you shall marry " "Germain, coffee and liqueurs," said Canalis.
Jean Butscha, a natural son abandoned by his parents and taken care of by the clerk of the court and his daughter, and now, through sheer hard work, head-clerk to the notary, fed and lodged by his master, who gave him a salary of nine hundred francs, almost a dwarf, and with no semblance of youth, Jean Butscha made Modeste his idol, and would willingly have given his life for hers.

You want to be head-clerk of your room and officer of the Legion of Honor?" "That in the first place, Chief!" replied Marneffe, with a bow.

"These gentlemen must draw up their report as eyewitnesses to the fact; without that, the chief evidence in my case, where should I be?

"Dese men haf tiger faces.... I shall send somebody to vetch mein bits of dings." "Where are you going, sir?" "Vere it shall blease Gott," returned Pons' universal legatee with supreme indifference. "Send me word," said Villemot. Fraisier turned to the head-clerk. "Go after him," he whispered. Mme. Cantinet was left in charge, with a provision of fifty francs paid out of the money that they found.
I am going home to say a word to my head-clerk, and pack my traveling-bag, and after dinner, at eight o'clock, I will be But shall we get places?" he said to Monsieur de Saint-Denis, interrupting himself. "I will answer for that," said Corentin. "Be in the yard of the Chief Office of the Messageries at eight o'clock.
James says anything to me about it I shall take your part.
