"She wishes me much amusement she tells me to be gay she went away tranquilly smiling! this does honor to my dissimulation. By Jove! I did not think myself so good an actor. But here is Lucenay." The Duke de Lucenay entered the room; his wound had been so slight that he did not carry his arm in a sling.
He had hardly disappeared for a moment, than a small door, concealed by the tapestry, opened softly, and Madame de Lucenay, wrapped in a shawl of green Cashmere, and wearing a very plain black velvet bonnet, entered the saloon which the count had just left.
"And your fat driver what a figure! Just see how he holds his horses in his hands! I must confess, there is no one but a Saint Remy who has the best of everything." "Madame de Lucenay and her cousin are waiting," said Florestan, with bitterness. "It is true; how rude I am! Soon again, Saint Remy. Oh, I forgot; if you have nothing better to do, come and dine with us to-morrow.
I feel myself very weak." This scene was heart-rending; Rudolph opened the folding-doors, and the clergyman entered, followed by the witnesses. All the actors in this sad scene were grave and sad; M. de Lucenay himself had forgotten his habitual frivolity.
"Very pretty! However, so much the better; for, after all, I am satisfied with you, and if I had had a will to make, I should have left this sum to you and Patterson." The viscount went out to go, in the first place, to his creditor and Madame de Lucenay, whom he did not suspect of having overheard his conversation with Badinot.
"What good fortune! perhaps we can find out something from the duchess," cried Madame d'Harville, with vivacity; then she continued, with a sigh, "But I am ignorant of the name of this woman how designate her to Madame de Lucenay?" "You must ask if she does not know a widow, still young, of distinguished appearance, whose daughter, aged sixteen or seventeen, is named Claire."
"On their side the duke's seconds said, 'We render justice to the honorable character of M. Charles Robert; but his grace of Lucenay cannot, ought not, will not retract. 'Then, gentlemen, responded my seconds, 'M. de Lucenay still continues to insist that M. Charles Robert has a cough? 'Yes, gentlemen; but he does not intend it as an attack upon M. Robert's reputation. 'Then let him retract. 'No, gentlemen; M. de Lucenay recognizes M. Robert for a gallant man, but he insists that he has a cough. You see there was no way of arranging so serious an affair."
Here Madame de Lucenay, giving way to the peculiarity of her character, could not prevent herself from laughing heartily, and saying to the count: "You must avow that the position is at least singular, and that it is very piquant that I should preach to you!" "It is rather strange; but I deserve neither your sermons nor your praises. I come to my son; but it is not on account of my son.
Madame de Lucenay, seeing no one, was about to enter the cabinet, when the curtains were thrown back, and she found herself face to face with the father of Florestan. She could not restrain a cry of alarm. "Clotilde!" cried the count, stupefied.
But I have conquered my repugnance, and have recourse to every one who can aid me in researches of great interest to me." "Oh! then," said Madame de Lucenay, with most affectionate eagerness, "I beg you dispose of me, if I can be of any use to you. Is there need of any applications?
