"Well!" replied M. de Larnac, "we have nothing." "What? Nothing?" cried Madame de Lavardens, very pale and agitated. "Nothing, nothing; absolutely nothing the one or the other of us." And M. de Larnac springing from his carriage, related what had taken place at the sale before the Tribunal of Souvigny. "At first," he said, "everything went upon wheels.
"Very fortunate?" "Yes, very fortunate. I would rather see the Scotts at Longueval than the Gallards. Did you not hear Monsieur de Larnac reproach these Americans with spending their money foolishly. It is never foolish to spend money. The folly lies in keeping it. Your poor for I am perfectly sure that it is your poor of whom you are thinking your poor have made a good thing of it to-day.
These Gallards are rich and will give you plenty of money." At this moment a cloud of dust appeared on the road, from it emerged a carriage. "Here comes Monsieur de Larnac!" cried Paul, "I know his ponies!" All three hurriedly descended from the terrace and returned to the castle. They arrived there just as M. de Larnac's carriage drove up to the entrance. "Well?" asked Madame de Lavardens.
"Very fortunate?" "Yes, very fortunate. I would rather see the Scotts at Longueval than the Gallards. Did you not hear Monsieur de Larnac reproach these Americans with spending their money foolishly.

"To Souvigny, to learn the result of the sale." "Stay here with us. M. de Larnac is there, and will hasten back with the news. But I can tell you who are the new owners of the castle." At this the abbé turned into the gates of the countess's grounds, and joined that lady and her son on the terrace of their house.
They killed a woman and two children at Campuget, an old man of eighty at a farm near Bouillargues, several persons at Cicure, a young girl at Caissargues, a gardener at Nimes, and many other persons, besides carrying off all the flocks, furniture, and other property they could lay hands on, and burning down the farmhouses of Clairan, Loubes, Marine, Carlot, Campoget Miraman, La Bergerie, and Larnac all near St.
"Where are you going, Monsieur le Cure?" asked the Countess. "To Souvigny, to the Tribunal, to learn " "Stay here Monsieur de Larnac is coming after the sale to tell me the result." The Abbe Constantin joined them on the terrace. Gertrude de Lannilis, Countess de Lavardens, had been very unfortunate. At eighteen she had been guilty of a folly, the only one of her life, but that one irreparable.
Before M. de Larnac, who was excessively annoyed and disappointed, he showed too plainly his delight at the prospect of having this marvellous American for a near neighbor. The Abbe Constantin was preparing to return to Longueval, but Paul, seeing him ready to start, said: "No! no! Monsieur le Cure, you must not think of walking back to Longueval in the heat of the day. Allow me to drive you home.
"Well!" replied M. de Larnac, "we have nothing." "What? Nothing?" cried Madame de Lavardens, very pale and agitated. "Nothing, nothing; absolutely nothing the one or the other of us." And M. de Larnac springing from his carriage, related what had taken place at the sale before the Tribunal of Souvigny. "At first," he said, "everything went upon wheels.
As soon as the Cure had reached Madame de Lavardens, she said: "Without waiting for Monsieur de Larnac, I can tell you the names of the purchasers of the domain of Longueval. I am quite easy on the subject, and have no doubt of the success of our plan.
