Like Montespan, also a courtesan of high order, she often went in these dark days to cast a loving look upon the solitary park in the maze of the Trianon. Yet she was particularly happy at Lucienne. I have compared her to Manon Lescaut, and I believe her to have been also a sister to Ganesin. All three were destroyed by passion.

Mme. Zelie was dumbfounded. "If you say so," she muttered. "But no matter: that's queer." M. de Tregars interrupted her with a gesture, "And, what's more, it is because Lucienne is my sister that you see her there lying upon that bed. They attempted to murder her to-day!" "Oh!"
"You will judge for yourself." He closed the door carefully, and, returning to Mlle. Lucienne, "Do you know the Marquis de Tregars?" he asked. "No more than you do. It was yesterday, at the commissary of police, that I first heard his name." "Well, before a month, M. de Tregars will be Mlle. Gilberte Favoral's husband." "Is it possible?" exclaimed Mlle. Lucienne with a look of extreme surprise.
Lucienne shuddered. "Did you see M. de Thaller?" she asked. "He got to the house a few moments in advance of the commissary of police; and a terrible scene took place between him and my father." "What was he saying?" "That my father had ruined him." "And your father?" "He stammered incoherent phrases. He was like a man who has received a stunning blow. But we have discovered incredible things.
And then a voice, the inexorable voice of fate, cried to me, 'Never more shalt thou see her!" With a superb gesture Mlle. Lucienne drew herself up. "It is not with your heart, I trust, that you judge me, M. Maxence Favoral," she uttered. He trembled lest he had offended her. "I beseech you," he began. But she went on in a voice vibrating with emotion,
Lucienne took no notice of the insult. "I have not the amount you ask," she said coldly. "Well, then," vociferated the other, "you must go and ask it of those who pay for your carriages and your dresses." Still impassible, the girl, instead of answering, stretched her hand towards her key; but M. Fortin stopped her arm. "No, no!" he said with a giggle.
"Well, never mind. It is not necessary that you should." Two o'clock struck as Mlle. Lucienne and Maxence left the office of the commissary of police, she pensive and agitated, he gloomy and irritated. They reached the Hotel des Folies without exchanging a word. Mme. Fortin was again at the door, speechifying in the midst of a group with indefatigable volubility.
I started in quest of new lodgings, followed by a porter, carrying my trunk; but as I was crossing the Boulevard, not getting quick enough out of the way of a handsome private carriage which was coming at full trot, I was knocked down, and trampled under the horses's feet." Without allowing Maxence to interrupt her, "I had lost consciousness," went on Mlle. Lucienne.
He found behind Lucienne a deep narrow valley, completely shut in, inaccessible from its swamps, and with a wretched village called Marly upon the slope of one of its hills. This closeness, without drain or the means of having any, was the sole merit of the valley. The King was overjoyed at his discovery.
