When the vicomte arrived on the spot, he was so terribly excited that the seconds thought it their duty to ask for a postponement of the affair. This proposition was agreed to by Monsieur de Montferrand, but the vicomte firmly opposed it. We tried in vain to change his determination. He became angry, accused his seconds of cowardice, and threatened to horsewhip them.
She puts on airs, as if the whole world lay at her feet, and poses as such a virtuous being. And yet I really believe she is no better than other people; I " "Frederic," interrupted Velletri, warningly; he feared that the vicomte would inform young Montferrand what had occurred between his bride and the acrobat.
"And I, sir, swear that he speaks the truth!" cried Arthur de Montferrand. "Ah! Monsieur de Talizac, you forget too quickly; but my memory recalls the fact that the marks now on your face were imprinted yesterday by my hand, when you attacked me with a knife, because I endeavored to prevent you from committing this crime!" "Liar!" shouted Talizac.
"Yes, and when the hour comes, Fanfar's condemnation is certain." "But if he escapes us?" "Impossible! We shall have him, even if we are forced to put the entire police on his track!" A lacquey knocked at the door and entered. "The Marquis de Montferrand desires to see you, sir, on a matter of great importance." "Show him up at once!" said his master, who added to Cyprien: "Do not go away.
Of these three young men one was named Arthur de Montferrand; his father had made himself a name in the Chamber of Peers by defending the assassins of Marshal Brune; the other, Gaston de Ferrette, was a great duelist, although not more than twenty-four, and belonged to the best blood in France. The third was less known in Paris. He was an Italian who was traveling in France.
The vicomte bit his lips until they bled, and then approached Irene de Salves, who had just entered, accompanied by her mother and the Marquis de Montferrand. Irene was dazzlingly beautiful, and her rich dress enhanced her charming appearance. There was, however, a melancholy look in her dark eyes, but her voice sounded clear and strong as she replied to the vicomte's greeting.
The vicomte and his parents were congratulated from all sides, and the young girls envied Irene, for it was an open secret that she would be the future Vicomtesse de Talizac. Arthur de Montferrand was the only one who could not force himself to congratulate the vicomte.
"Unfortunately," continued Montferrand, turning to Fanfaro, "I am mixed up in the affair myself. I let myself be persuaded by the Vicomte de Talizac " "I thought so," growled Fanfaro. "And his friend Velletri to accompany them here " "Velletri? The Italian spy? The tool of the Jesuits, who treacherously betrayed his own countrymen, the Carbonari?" asked Fanfaro, contemptuously.
But Pascal had to sustain suspicion and attack in a quarter more formidable than that of the Jesuit fathers at Montferrand. We have already spoken of the rather unhappy commencement of relations between him and Descartes.
A door was flung open, servants were thrust aside, and a man bearing the inanimate form of a young girl, entered the ball-room. "Fanfar!" cried Arthur de Montferrand. It was, indeed, Fanfar. Standing in the centre of the ball-room, for no man ventured to oppose his progress, he addressed himself to the crowd.
