That sound, which always caused him an involuntary shudder, disturbed him in the last mournful scene of his unparalleled tortures. M. Pelletan said authoritatively to the municipal on duty, "If you will not take these bolts and casings away at once, at least you can make no objection to our carrying the child into another room, for I suppose we are sent here to take charge of him."
Pelletan stared at his partner to see if he was in earnest. "Oh, I know it will be a deprivation," said the American, a glint of humour in his eyes. "You can raise his wages a franc a day to make up for it." "Fery well, monsieur," and Pelletan crossed over to the desk and gave the boy his commands.

Why, hello, Pelletan," he added, as the latter approached him humbly, as a slave approaches the Sultan. "Want to speak to me?" "Eef monsieur please," answered the little Frenchman, who was plainly labouring under deep excitement. "All right; what is it?"

Pelletan glanced around to assure himself that the door was tightly closed, then drew his chair nearer to his patron. "I haf a wife," he said, slowly, in a sepulchral tone. "Well, what of it? Is that a crime in France? I could almost believe it!" "I could not liff mit' her no longer," continued Pelletan. "She wass a teufel! I leafe her!" "Oh, that's it so you ran away?"
These were Dumangin, head physician of the Hospice de l'Unite; Pelletan, head surgeon of the Grand Hospice de l'Humanite; Jeanroy, professor in the medical schools of Paris; and Laasus, professor of legal medicine at the Ecole de Sante of Paris.
"Only stay here a year or two until you've made your fortune, as you're certain to do now." "Yess, monsieur," agreed Pelletan, huskily. "T'anks to you!" "In the meantime," added Rushford, smiling, "keep the ladies, if you like to look at them. Your little foibles are no affair of mine. What I wanted to speak to you about was a matter of business.
