"Go quickly to the druggist; then get some eggs. Take all the money; I must get well," said the mother. "The doctor said he could cure you," said Perrine. "I'll go quickly for the things." But all the money she took was not enough. When the druggist had read the prescription he looked at Perrine. "Have you the money to pay for this?" he asked. She opened her hand.
Neither side thought that a partnership could be possible, and the two cousins share alike. Each wanted all for himself. Both Mme. Bretoneux and Mme. Paindavoine had ignored Perrine since their arrival. They had given her to understand that they did not require her services any longer.
When the immediate business was settled Perrine was left alone with the blind man. He was silent. Time passed; he did not move. She had often seen him sit still, but on such occasions, from the expression on his face, she had known that he was following his work as though he were watching with his eyes.
It was so entirely the practice, under the most favourable circumstances, for French mothers to send their infants to be nursed in cottages, that Perrine was amazed by the cry of angry refusal that burst from Eustacie: 'Part with my child! leave her to her enemies! never! never! Hold your tongue, Perrine! I will not hear of such a thing! 'But, Madame, hear reason.
"Yes; she asked me to go with her, but I wanted to wait until you come as as I might not know what to say." "Well, we'll go together; and don't you worry about saying anything if you don't want to. I talk enough for both of us. That's my trouble, Father says I talk too much. Come Mrs. Perrine is downstairs."
Many years have elapsed since the executions of Perrine, Rene and Pierre, and the death of Jean; and the martyrdom of the sisters, the exploits of the brothers have passed into legends. We have now to do with their successors. As they fought beside la Rouerie, Bois-Hardy and Bernard de Villeneuve, so did they fight beside Bourmont, Frotte, and Georges Cadoudal.
Perrine was listening as though it were not an old blind man with a grave face that was speaking, but a beautiful fairy who was holding over her her magic wand. She was silent. Then his voice recalled her to the reality. "You are free to choose what you like, but bear in mind the choice you make will guide me in acquiring a knowledge of your character.
Her sleep was restless, and when the doctor came the next morning he found her worse, which made him change the treatment, and Perrine was obliged to go again to the druggist. This time he asked five francs to fill out the prescription. She did not flinch, but paid bravely, although she could scarcely breathe when she got outside the store.
Rosalie and Perrine went out together, Rosalie holding her wounded hand, which was the left, in her right hand. "Won't you lean on me, Rosalie?" asked little Perrine anxiously. "I am sure it must be dreadful." "No, I'm all right; thank you," said Rosalie. "At least I can walk." "Well, then, it isn't much then, is it?" asked Perrine. "One can't tell the first day. It's later that one suffers.
As a consequence he drifted into that strange adventure which later was to surround him with dark shadows and overwhelming doubts. Before following Bobby through his black experience, however, it is better to know what happened at the Cedars where his cousin, Katherine Perrine was, except for the servants, alone with old Silas Blackburn who seemed apprehensive of some sly approach of disaster.
