Charitable peasants had given the women short rides at times; kind-hearted farmers' wives had offered them food and drink, or else a night's lodging. Yet Caillette thanked God when she arrived at Leigoutte. What would happen now, she did not know. Nothing could induce the maniac to return, and the young girl thought it best not to oppose her wish.
"Ah! you know her?" said the innkeeper. "She is very strange." "What did she say to you?" "She asked for bread, and ate it without a word. Then, just as she saw you, she asked me where some village was. I never heard the name before." The old woman now came to meet Caillette. "Leigoutte!" she said. "Leigoutte!" "Leigoutte!" repeated Caillette, "that is Fanfar's village."
This sign hung over the door of the tavern at Leigoutte; your brother, the rightful heir of Fougereuse, was the landlord and the bravest man for miles around. In the year 1805 Jules Fougere, as he called himself, fell. The world said Cossacks had murdered him. I, though, vicomte, I cry it aloud in your ear his murderer was you!"
It was not until eighteen months had elapsed that he was able to tell me he came from Leigoutte, among the Vosges mountains." "Ah!" The Marquis drew his breath with pain. "Go on! go on!" he muttered in a hoarse voice. "He said his father's name was Simon, his mother's name Françoise, and a little sister was called Francinette, but he gave me no family name.
"What was the name of this village?" interrupted the marquis, hurriedly. "Leigoutte, my lord." The nobleman had almost uttered a cry, but he restrained himself in time, and Girdel did not notice his guest's terrible excitement.
"Not Fanfaro Jacques," corrected the old woman. "But what should we do in Leigoutte, mother?" "The box Jacques Talizac the papers," the woman replied. And so we find Caillette and her patient, after weary wanderings, in Leigoutte. The young girl had sold, on the way, a gold cross, the only jewel she possessed, to pay the expenses of the journey.
