"I only want you to understand that these remarks might leave a wrong impression on a young woman's mind," said she, and interrupted herself to exclaim, "But this niece, this niece of mine!" "Dear aunt, I still refuse to believe that she can have gone to M. de Montriveau," said the Duc de Navarreins. "Bah!" returned the Princess. "What do you think, Vidame?" asked the Marquis.
The ducal house of Navarreins had offered for sale the forest of Montegnac and the uncultivated lands around it. Graslin had never yet executed the clause in his marriage contract with his wife which obliged him to invest his wife's fortune in lands; up to this time he had preferred to employ the money in his bank, where he had fully doubled it. He now began to speak of this investment.
"Come," said the Marquis, "it is time to send him to the King. I will spend to-morrow morning in writing to our kinsmen." "I have some acquaintance with the Ducs de Navarreins, de Lenoncourt, de Maufrigneuse, and de Chaulieu," said the Chevalier, though he knew, as he spoke, that he was pretty thoroughly forgotten.
I am almost an uncle to Langeais, and I alone have a right to put him in the wrong." The Duc de Navarreins roused himself from painful reflections. "Since you speak of feeling, my child," he said, "let me remind you that a woman who bears your name ought to be moved by sentiments which do not touch ordinary people.
And if the Cardinal was delighted to receive Monsieur de la Baudraye, Monsieur de la Baudraye was even better pleased to receive a wife from the hands of the Cardinal.

He talks of buying the Hotel de Navarreins, in the Rue du Bac. Madame Marneffe herself has forty thousand francs a year. Ah! here is our guardian angel, here comes your mother!" she exclaimed, hearing the rumble of wheels. And presently the Baroness came down the garden steps and joined the party.
"My son has just got an appointment through the Duc de Navarreins. The Bourbons are very good to those who are sincere in rallying to them. Your son could be appointed lieutenant-colonel to a regiment." "They only appoint nobles in the cavalry. Philippe would never rise to be a colonel," said Madame Descoings.
The noble Portuguese lady, one of those who never care to go out of their own home, was usually the centre of her neighbors' attentions the Chaulieus, the Navarreins, the Lenoncourts.
The brig came into the port to ship her crew, and sailed that day. Montriveau, down in the cabin, was left alone with Antoinette de Navarreins. For some hours it seemed as if her dead face was transfigured for him by that unearthly beauty which the calm of death gives to the body before it perishes.
Antoinette de Navarreins was living, consumed by love, on a ledge of rock in the Mediterranean; but it was in the Pope's power to dissolve Sister Theresa's vows. The happiness bought by so much love might yet bloom for the two lovers. These thoughts sent Montriveau flying from Cadiz to Marseilles, and from Marseilles to Paris.
