Aided by Cesarine he induced her father to drink with them. The narcotic soon put Cesar to sleep, and when he woke up, fourteen hours later, he was in Pillerault's bedroom, Rue des Bourdonnais, fairly imprisoned by the old man, who was sleeping himself on a cot-bed in the salon. When Constance heard the coach containing Pillerault and Cesar roll away from the door, her courage deserted her.
He walked the streets with a bowed head, hiding from every eye his stricken, dull, distraught face. He felt, with self-reproach, that the cloth he wore was too good for him. "At least," he said to Pillerault, with a look that was angelic, "I do not eat the bread of my creditors.
"Yes, my child, I shall struggle on; but say not a word to any one, not to Popinot who loves us, nor to your uncle Pillerault. I shall first write to my brother; he is canon and vicar of the cathedral. He spends nothing, and I have no doubt he has means. If he saves only three thousand francs a year, that would give him at the end of twenty years one hundred thousand francs.
At the moment when I offered the prayer Pro meo fratre Caesare, my eyes were filled with tears as I thought of you, from whom, unfortunately, I am separated in these days when you must sorely need the support of fraternal friendship. I have thought that the worthy and venerable Monsieur Pillerault would doubtless replace me.
He must have a position in Paris equal to mine. . . . Pardon me if I have enlarged on a matter so delicate; but we must have no misunderstandings in this business. The doctor is, besides, much respected and learned; he saved the life of the Comtesse Popinot's great-uncle, M. Pillerault.
You shall pay me back the money that I have spent on you, and that I would never have asked you for, I that have gone to M. Pillerault to borrow another five hundred francs of him " "It ees his illness!" cried Schmucke he sprang to Mme. Cibot and put an arm round her waist "haf batience." "As for you, you are an angel, I could kiss the ground you tread upon," said she.
If you pay in cash, and you are obliged to do so, they say that you have kept back part of your assets; if you are without a penny, it is useless to attempt to recover yourself. No, give up your property, sell your business, and find something else to do." "What could I find?" said Cesar. "Well," said Pillerault, "look for a situation.
The names of the assignees selected through the influence of du Tillet were very significant to Pillerault. Monsieur Bidault, called Gigonnet, the principal creditor, was the one to take no active part; and Molineux, the mischievous old man who lost nothing by the failure, was to manage everything.
Thus the creditors, knowing that they were secure of nearly sixty per cent of their claims, were very ready to do what Pillerault asked of them. The solicitors of the commercial courts are few in number; it therefore happened that several creditors employed the same man, giving him their proxies.
"What a gallows-bird!" said Pere Canquoelle to his neighbor Monsieur Pillerault. "Pshaw!" said Monsieur Camusot to all the company, for he alone had expressed no astonishment, "it is Contenson, Louchard's right-hand man, the police agent we employ in business. The rascals want to nab some one who is hanging about perhaps."
