"But there will not be a doubt in public opinion. And can you not see additional anonymous letters written to Alba, Madame Gorka, Madame Maitland?... The men I do not care for.... Two out of three merit all that comes to them. But those innocent creatures is it not frightful?" "Frightful, indeed," replied Montfanon; "it is that which renders those adulterous adventures so hideous.
Lydia would have liked to tear out their eyes, his as well as hers, and to trample them beneath her heel. A fresh flood of hatred filled her heart. God! how she hated them, and with what a powerless hatred! But her time would come; another need pressed sorely to prevent the meeting of the following day, to save her brother. To whom should she turn, however? To Dorsenne? To Montfanon?
She indeed contracted the fever, and so severely that she died in less than six days. I have no doubt, since her last words, that it was a suicide." "And the mother," asked Montfanon, "did she not comprehend finally?" "Absolutely nothing," replied Dorsenne. "It is inconceivable, but it is thus.
"The one which your friend Montfanon bought to vex the poor little thing?" "Precisely. The old-leaguer has returned it to Ribalta; the latter told me so yesterday; no doubt in a spirit of mortification. I say no doubt for I have not seen the poor, dear man since the duel, which his impatience toward Ardea and Hafner rendered in evitable.

That is very important. You know the celebrated saying: 'It is neither swords nor pistols which kill; it is the seconds..... And then if the matter has to be arranged, he will have more prestige than your servant."
"What! She has done nothing to me?" . . . interrupted Montfanon. "But it is quite natural that a sceptic should not comprehend what she has done to me, what she does to me daily, not to me personally, but to my opinions.
Nothing was farther from my thoughts.... I repeat that I apologize, Marquis.... But, come, tell us what you want for your client, that is very simple.... And then we will do all we can to make your demands agree with those of our client.... It is a trifling matter to be adjusted." "No, sir," said Montfanon, with insolent severity, "it is justice to be rendered, which is very different.
"And you, my dear friend," replied the novelist, "I conjure you to think of our conversation in the catacombs, to think of the three ladies in whose names I besought you to aid Florent." "Thank you," said Montfanon, passing his hand over his brow, "I promise you to be calm."
