He stopped and bowed to Germain. "Monsieur LeCour de Lincy here has some papers to show us," de Léry proceeded, "which refute that unfortunate report arising from the letters of my son." Lecour produced his papers, and on perusal of them for some time, both Panet and de Léry pronounced them perfect. "I owe you the sincerest formal apology, Monsieur de Lincy," de Léry said.
'Such a glorious collection ought all to have been kept together; but, as it was, everybody got some share of the spoil. He bought some of the best specimens himself; and as he was only a poor monk of the Chartreuse the prices can hardly have run high. M. Le Roux de Lincy has traced the fate of the volumes dispersed at the sale.
Villerai cast an uncomfortable glance at Germain, then he blurted out "That he is an some say an im . I confess I know nothing against the gentleman myself he seems to be a very nice young man, but Monsieur de Léry says he is something of that sort." "And that his proper title is not de Lincy, but that he is the son of a merchant in Canada who is no noble?" Collinot added.

Next he took up de Bailleul's will sorrowfully and hesitatingly, for it was his title to Eaux Tranquilles but the following instant he threw it also on the flames.
It recapitulated minutely the manner in which LeCour had been discovered wearing the Répentigny name; the refusal of the slayer of Philibert to punish him; the change of name to de Lincy, which de Lotbinière shrewdly attributed to the genealogist; the conduct of de Bailleul; the real origin of the Lecour family, with the history of the father; the duels with Louis, and his vexations on account of the matter; the writer's journey to Châlons, Troyes, and Versailles, the circumstances of the disappearance of Germain, and the news of his actions in Canada.

Your honour is absolved, and Major Collinot is requested to make entry of this fact on the registers of the company, to avail you in case these charges should ever be repeated.
I am sure they are no Chevaliers de Lincy". "I cannot believe it, wife. I know where I came from, and that I was nothing but a boy sent out with the troops by the magistrates of Paris" Germain started "then a poor private, and by good conduct at length a cantineer of the liquor.
