Within an hour, he knew, within a day or so at most, he must be under arrest, charged with the theft of the Montalais jewels, damned by his yesterday as much as by every turn of circumstantial evidence....
"Nay, nay, for pity's sake, my dear Montalais," cried Manicamp, "deuce take it, do not go away; I have a great many things to say to you, of the greatest importance, still." "Montalais," said Saint-Aignan to himself, "one of the three. Each of the three gossips had her adventure, only I imagined the hero of this one's adventure was Malicorne and not Manicamp."
"For my part," said Monsieur, "I prefer Phyllis; she is a capital girl, or rather a good-sort-of-fellow of a nymph." A gentle laugh followed, and this time the looks were so direct, that Montalais felt herself blushing almost scarlet. "Well," resumed Madame, "what were those shepherdesses saying to each other?"
"The king!" exclaimed Louise, starting up abruptly, as if a stream of fire had started through her frame to her heart; "the king uneasy about me?" "Yes," said Montalais. "The king is here, then?" said La Valliere, not venturing to look round her. "That voice! that voice!" whispered Louis, eagerly, to Saint-Aignan.
He saw her, and divined at once so much love and so much joy in the expression of her countenance, the he sank on his knees in the middle of the chamber, murmuring, on his part, the name of Louise. "Ah! Montalais! Montalais!" she sighed, "it is very wicked to deceive me so." "Who, I? I have deceived you?" "Yes; you told me you would go down to inquire the news, and you have brought up monsieur!"
"But, madame, it is not I who prevent Louise following me thither; on the contrary, I should certainly be most happy if she came there." "But it appears that M. Malicorne, who is all-powerful at court " "Ah! so much the worse, madame," said Malicorne, "every one for himself in this poor world." "Malicorne! Malicorne!" said Montalais. Then stooping towards the young man:
Manicamp and Montalais descended a few rounds of the ladder, Manicamp insisting, and Montalais laughing and objecting. Suddenly Malicorne's voice was heard in tones of entreaty: "I entreat you, Mademoiselle Montalais, not to leave me here.
"Mademoiselle de Montalais," she said, "will you have the goodness to inform your friend, Mademoiselle de la Valliere, that I am exceedingly sorry to disarrange her projects of solitude, but that instead of becoming ennuyee by remaining behind alone as she wished, she will be good enough to accompany us to Saint-Germain and get ennuyee there."
"Ah! that's fair," and he gave him the twenty pistoles. Manicamp began to scoop up his gold by handfuls, and pour it in cascades upon his bed. "This second place," murmured Malicorne, whilst drying his paper, "which, at the first glance appears to cost me more than the first, but " He stopped, took up the pen in his turn, and wrote to Montalais:
Possessing that, one reigns a queen among women in cases where Providence has withheld that precious faculty of holding one's heart and mind in check." "How clever you are," said Montalais, "and how well you understand the duty women owe themselves!"
