"I have an idea," said Zelie, "that for the last three years he hasn't invested anything he grew fond of hoarding." "Perhaps the money is in the cellar," whispered Massin to Cremiere. "I hope we shall be able to find it," said Minoret-Levrault. "But after what he said at the ball we can't have any doubt," cried Madame Massin. "In any case," began Cremiere, "how shall we manage?
The doctor obtained a half-scholarship for his great-nephew at the school of Louis-le-Grand, where Desire was put into the fourth class. Cremiere, Massin, and Minoret-Levrault, extremely common persons, were "rated without appeal" by the doctor within two months of his arrival in Nemours, during which time they courted, less their uncle than his property.
The elections of 1830 united into an active body the various Minoret relations, Desire and Goupil having formed a committee in Nemours by whose efforts a liberal candidate was put in nomination at Fontainebleau. Massin, as collector of taxes, exercised an enormous influence over the country electors. Five of the post master's farmers were electors. Dionis represented eleven votes.
"'Go here, go there, just as if he knew everything." "Yes, for a dull beast like him he had a certain air of " "Stop!" said Massin, alarmed at a sudden thought. "His wife is there; they've got some plan! Do you do both errands; I'll go back."
M. Massin, a municipal officer, was killed on the spot, a sapper fatally wounded, and twenty-five of the National Guard wounded more or less severely.
"It isn't he," thought Goupil, "who has invented this scheme; I know my Zelie, she taught him his part. Bah! I'll let Massin go. In three years time I'll be deputy from Sens." Just then he saw Bongrand on his way to the opposite house for his whist, and he rushed hastily after him. "You take a great interest in Mademoiselle Mirouet, my dear Monsieur Bongrand," he said.
After many compliments to their uncle on the wonderful proficiency of his goddaughter, the heirs made their bow and retired. "Good-night, my friends," cried the doctor as the iron gate clanged. "Ah! that's where the money goes," said Madame Cremiere to Madame Massin, as they walked on. "God forbid that I should spend money to teach my little Aline to make such a din as that!" cried Madame Massin.
If there is nothing to be done, if he, being intimate with your uncle, knows that all is lost, the proper thing for him to say to you is, 'Don't be worried." As Goupil spoke, a satirical smile overspread his face, and gave such meaning to his words that the other heirs began to feel that Massin had let Bongrand deceive him.
If Madame Dionis were here she could tell you how true that comparison is." "But Monsieur Bongrand has just told me there is nothing to worry about," said Massin. "Oh! there are plenty of ways of saying that!" cried Goupil, laughing. "I would like to have heard your sly justice of the peace say it.
Finally, when the young girl had finished saying all she had to say, Madame Petit remarked: "You must order your box. We have come here for that, you know." "Oh you will find my father in his workshop at the end of the passage, and if you are not very long I shall still be here. I am going to rehearsal at the Varietes later on." Madame Petit was furious, for she did not like Leontine Massin.
