Etienne, nettled by the superior air assumed by Monsieur de Clagny, wanted to infuriate him by one of those cold-drawn jests which consist in defending an opinion in which we have no belief, simply to rouse the wrath of a poor man who argues in good faith; a regular journalist's pleasantry.

The journalist's quiet explanation was cut short by a petulant outcry. 'Oh, very well! Of course if you want to get rid of me!

The young journalist's interest was aroused, and in that trifling incident lay the salvation of the priest.

She made Gatien Boirouge write to the great physician Bianchon, whom he claimed as a cousin through the Popinots.
