"For my part I should have preferred to remain in St. Croix. Only yesterday Jeanne Tallot told us that she had no intention of going." "She will see wonderful things," said the more simple and amiable. "It is possible that she may be invited to the Tuileries, and without doubt she will drive to the Bois de Boulogne in Madame Legrand's carriage, with servants in livery to attend her.
Legrand's house for an hour, and then stood a long time on the opposite side, looking at the closed windows of the front parlour, quite unconscious that he had become an object of curiosity to numerous persons in adjoining houses, and of marked suspicion to the policeman at the corner. Finally he crossed the street, mounted the steps, and rang the bell.
But this time she played but a few moments, and when she ceased, Mrs. Legrand's voice was heard faintly calling her. She glided between the chairs in the door-way and entered the cabinet, drawing a portière across its door behind her. As she did so, Dr. Hull touched the stopcock in the wall by his side, turning on the gas in both parlours, and proceeded to unlock and open the hall-door.
Hull's letter, which was quite a long one, consisted of further quotations from Mrs. Legrand's communications.
The same happened to General Legrand's infantry division; but as soon as they were formed up on the plain, Marshal Oudinot attacked the enemy lines, and they directed their artillery fire at several different points so that the exit from the marsh would have become less perilous for the remainder of the army, if Wittgenstein had not at that moment attacked with all his force the units which we had in the open.
He had no doubt that, aided by the mediumship of love, she had actually appeared to him a second time in a form only a little less material than the night before. Of this experience he did not tell Miss Ludington. This interview, which Ida had granted to him alone, he kept as a precious secret. The next day, as he had promised, Paul called at Mrs. Legrand's and saw Dr. Hull.
But Leglise is too much afraid of wounding Legrand's susceptibilities. He ruminates on the matter till evening. The little parcel is at the head of Legrand's bed. Leglise calls my attention to it with his chin, and whispers: "I found some one to give it to him. He doesn't know who sent it. He has made all sorts of guesses; it is very amusing!"
If Miss Ludington's desire for another glimpse of Ida had lacked the passionate intensity of Paul's, she had, notwithstanding, longed for it very ardently, and when at nine o'clock the next night the carriage drew up before Mrs. Legrand's door, she was in a transport of sweet anticipation. As for Paul he had dressed himself with extreme care for the occasion, and looked to his best advantage.
"I let you out of this place believing you a liar, and had you watched," said Latour. "I still believed you a liar when I found that you knew mademoiselle was in Legrand's house in the Rue Charonne. Your man was watched too, and his preparations in that empty house understood. You know the result.
But these other women, these mothers, call souls out of nothingness, and clothe them with bodies, so that they speak, walk, work, love, and hate, some forty, some fifty, some seventy years." "You are right," said Paul bowing his head. "It is not strange though it is hard to bear." The effect of the séance at Mrs. Legrand's upon Miss Ludington had been far less disturbing than upon Paul.
