It was Jouvenet, the Prefect of Police, who came to greet her in a very gallant fashion. The prefect he had gained at the palais in former days, the title of L'Avocat Pathelin, with insinuating and wheedling manners, hastened to pay his meed of respect to Marianne when he met her. There was no necessity to stand on ceremony with him. He knew all her secrets.
It is charming to have such a guard of honour, but I am wondering wondering eh, monsieur l'avocat, is it legal?" The Avocat made no reply, but the Cure's face was greatly troubled. The Seigneur's momentary placidity passed. "I answer for their legality, your Excellency," he said, in a high, assertive voice. "Of course, of course, you will answer for it," said the Governor, smiling enigmatically.
I was obliged to put on a strong voice, she to soften hers. In fact, it was absurd. The piece was a demi-succes.

Moreover, this will gives my mother the honour of wifehood in the sight of God, and I must tell you, monsieur l'avocat, that I am one of those who care nothing what the world says so long as I stand more or less clear with the world's Creator!" His great dark eyes were brilliant, his face warm with the fire of his inward feeling.
