"Where is your guest?" said Monsieur Mouilleron to Monsieur Hochon. "He has gone to walk in the country, I believe." "Call Gritte," said the judge gravely. "I was in hopes he had not left the house. You are aware that the crime was committed not far from here, at daybreak." While Monsieur Hochon went to find Gritte, the three functionaries looked at each other significantly.
If your proteges are to stay here till they have extricated that fool of a Rouget from the claws of Gilet and the Rabouilleuse, we shall eat a good deal more than half a measure of salt with them." "That's enough, Monsieur Hochon; you had better wish they may not have two strings to their bow."
Philippe's errors came from his great faculties being unemployed. He now sees how faults of conduct injure the prospects of a man who has his way to make. He is ambitious; that I am sure of; and I am not the only one to predict his future. Monsieur Hochon firmly believes that Philippe has a noble destiny before him."
Maxence Gilet was supposed by all Issoudun to be the natural son of the sub-delegate Lousteau, that brother of Madame Hochon whose gallantries had left memories behind them, and who, as we have seen, drew down upon himself the hatred of old Doctor Rouget about the time of Agathe's birth.
"Was it daylight?" "Barely." "Did he seem excited?" "Yes, he was all of a twitter." "Send one of your men for my clerk," said Lousteau-Prangin to the lieutenant, "and tell him to bring warrants with him " "Good God! don't be in such a hurry," cried Monsieur Hochon. "The young man's agitation may have been caused by something besides the premeditation of this crime.
Jean-Jacques's impatience made him follow Max within twenty minutes. Kouski, no doubt under orders from his master, walked the horse through the town. "If they get to Paris, all is lost," thought Monsieur Hochon. At this moment, a lad from the faubourg de Rome came to the Hochon house with a letter for Baruch.
"Mother," said Joseph, "I will attend to the trunks which they are bringing in." "Hochon," said the grandmother to Francois, "show the rooms to Monsieur Bridau."
If you and I do not take that walk, I shall take upon myself to make some others walk." So saying, he went away, and crossed the place Saint-Jean to the Hochons. Every one can imagine the scenes which the revelations made by Philippe to Monsieur Hochon had brought about within that family.
While the foregoing plot was progressing, Philippe was walking arm in arm with his uncle along the boulevard Baron. "The two great tacticians are coming to close quarters at last," thought Monsieur Hochon as he watched the colonel marching off with his uncle; "I am curious to see the end of the game, and what becomes of the stake of ninety thousand francs a year."
This conversation took place at breakfast, Francois and Baruch listening with all their ears. "Sacrilege!" exclaimed old Hochon. "The fact is, madame," said Baruch, "that if you want to secure your brother's property, the only sure and true way will be to stay in Issoudun for the necessary length of time " "Mother," said Joseph hastily, "you had better write to Desroches about all this.
