M. Louvier allows a year's interest on his hypotheque to become due-notice thereof duly given to you by his agent now you come under the operation of the law. Of course, you know what the law is?"
All will come right, I dare say; but if it does not come right, what would Louvier do?" "Louvier do!" answered Finisterre, reflectively. "Well do you ask my opinion and advice?" "Earnestly, I ask." "Honestly, then, I answer. I am a little on the Bourse myself most Parisians are.
What though we are not so young as we were, Louvier, we have more vigour in us than the new generation; and though it may no longer befit us to renew the gay carousals of old, life has still excitements as vivid for the social temperament and ambitious mind. Yes, the roi des viveurs returns to Paris for a more solid throne than he filled before." "Are you serious?"
Ah, if I had such a one!" he said softly. Then, quickly recovering his wonted composure, he added, with the sardonic smile which often chilled his friends and alarmed his foes, "Monsieur Louvier is about to pass that which I ventured to promise him, a 'mauvais quart-d'heure. Lend me that commandement tendant a saisie. I must be off to my avoue with instructions.
A certain Chevalier de Finisterre, to whom Louvier had introduced the Marquis as a useful fellow who knew Paris, and would save him from being cheated, had secured this bijou of an apartment for Alain, and concluded the bargain for the bagatelle of L500.

The fournisseurs are already gone to fit up the old chateau for the bride, and Louvier is invited to the wedding. "I have all this story from Alain, and from Duplessis himself.
This declaration was followed by a silence that had the character of stupor. At last Duplessis said, "But what has Louvier to do in this galere? Louvier is no relation of that well-born vaurien; why should he summon your family council?"
He is the only man who can give you sound advice as to this difficulty with Louvier; and he will give it the more carefully and zealously because he has that enmity to Louvier which one rival financier has to another. I dine with him too. We shall find an occasion to consult him quietly; he speaks of you most kindly. What a lovely girl his daughter is!" "I dare say. Ah!
But on reaching the coupe which the brothers kept in common, and seeing it only held two, he drew back. "Nay, enter, mon cher," said Raoul, divining the cause of his hesitation; "Enguerrand has gone on to his club." "Tell me," said Raoul, when they were in the carriage, "how you came to know M. Louvier." "He is my chief mortgagee." "H'm! that explains it.
Louvier offers 2000 louis more than the man could fairly get, and leaves him till Saturday to consider. I hear of this speculators hear of everything. On Friday night I go to the man and I give him 6000 louis, where he had asked 5000. Fancy Louvier's face the next day! But there my revenge only begins," continued Duplessis, chuckling inwardly. "My forest looks down on the villa he is building.
