As M. Elgin did not know Paris, and had money to invest, he advised him what to do. When we had drafts upon the Mutual Discount Society, he always saved M. Elgin the trouble, and brought the money himself. After a while, when M. Elgin took it into his head to try some small speculations on 'change, M. Malgat offered him his assistance, although they never had any luck, in fact."
Read this note; it will restore me in your esteem, I trust." It was another letter written by Malgat to M. Elgin, and ran thus, "M. Elgin, I have deceived you. It was not ten thousand dollars I had taken, but sixty thousand five hundred dollars. "Thanks to false entries, I have been able to conceal my defalcations until now; but I can do so no longer.
It was evident she was looking for one of those almost incredible excuses which are sometimes accepted by credulous old men when violent passions seize them in their dotage. She abandoned the thought, however, when the count stepped forward, and thus allowed Papa Ravinet to be seen behind him. "Malgat!" she cried, "Malgat!"
His last cent, his last rod of land, has been taken from him. You left him living like a prince in his forefathers' palace: you will find him vegetating in the fourth story of a lodging-house. You know, that, being poor, he is deemed guilty. The day is drawing near when Sarah Brandon will get rid of him, as she has gotten rid of Kergrist, of Malgat the poor cashier, and others.
If necessary, I shall employ detectives, and find out her antecedents. I shall try to interest some high personage in my behalf, my minister, for instance, who is very kind to me. Besides, I have an idea." "Ah!" "That unlucky cashier, whose story you told me, and who, you think, is not dead if we could find him. How did you call him? Oh, Malgat!
Henrietta was telling him at that moment, from Daniel's recital, the circumstances under which M. de Kergrist had died, and Malgat had disappeared, that poor cashier who had left such an immense deficit behind; who had been condemned to penal servitude; and whose body the police believed to have found in a wood near Paris.
Two months later, a half decomposed body was found in the forest of Saint Germain, which people declared to be Malgat. However" He had become livid, in his turn; but he continued in an almost inaudible voice, as if to meet Daniel's objections before they were expressed,
Then, without hesitation, and with all the minutest details, Daniel told him how Miss Brandon had taken him into her little boudoir, and how she had exculpated herself from all complicity with Malgat by showing him the letters written by that wretched man. "Strange letters!" he said, "which, if they are authentic" M. de Brevan shrugged his shoulders.
I may not be able to return it in less than six or seven years; but I will repay you, I swear it, with interest. "'I await your answer, like a criminal, who waits for the verdict. It is a matter of life and death with me; and as you decide, so I may be saved, or disgraced forever. A. Malgat." On the margin, methodical M. Elgin had written in his angular handwriting, "Answered immediately.
And this place in court, where he now sits as a prisoner, will become to him a place of honor, in which he will recover his position in society, and his honor." Malgat was acquitted. The marriage of Henrietta, Countess Ville-Handry, and Lieut. Daniel Champcey, was celebrated at the Church of St. Clothilda. Daniel's groomsmen were Malgat and the old chief surgeon of the frigate "Conquest."
