The taper in which he had burned the note was still alight, and he used it to seal up the Duchesse de Maufrigneuse's notes to Lucien about thirty in all and Madame de Serizy's somewhat voluminous correspondence. Then he waited on the public prosecutor.
"Look!" said he to Monsieur de Granville, pointing to one of them. "Call back Monsieur Gault!" cried the Comte de Granville, as he read the name of Madame de Maufrigneuse's maid a woman he knew. The governor of the prison came in. "Describe the woman who came to see the prisoner," said the public prosecutor in his ear. "Short, thick-set, fat, and square," replied Monsieur Gault.
And those ladies know their danger quite as well as you do not to say better; they will put themselves under the protection of the public prosecutor, who already sees their families unpleasantly close to the prisoner's bench, as a consequence of the coalition between this convict and Lucien de Rubempre, betrothed to Mademoiselle de Grandlieu Lucien, Esther's lover, Madame de Maufrigneuse's former lover, Madame de Serizy's darling.
"I come from the Prince," replied the Count, in a low voice. "You have carte blanche if you can only get the letters Madame de Serizy's, Madame de Maufrigneuse's and Mademoiselle Clotilde de Grandlieu's. You may come to some arrangement with this gentleman " "Who is he?" asked Monsieur de Granville, in a whisper. "There are no secrets between you and me, my dear sir," said des Lupeaulx.
This horrible old woman worthy of her nephew whose thoughts were all centered in the prisoner, and who was defending him with intelligence and mother-wit that were a match for the powers of the law, had a permit made out the evening before in the name of the Duchesse de Maufrigneuse's waiting-maid by the request of Monsieur de Serizy, allowing her to see Lucien de Rubempre, and the Abbe Carlos Herrera so soon as he should be brought out of the secret cells.
But forgery /forgery/! And time the time is flying," he went on, shaking his fist towards the old clock. "You will want a sham passport now. One crime leads to another. First," he added, after a pause, "first of all we must save the house of d'Esgrignon." "But the money is still in Mme. de Maufrigneuse's keeping," exclaimed Victurnien. "Ah!" exclaimed Chesnel.
