Little Madame Plumet soon called again, tricked out from head to foot in the latest fashion. She was a little flurried on entering a room full of jocular clerks. Escorted by Massinot, both of them with their eyes fixed on the ground, she reached my office. I closed the door after her. She recognized me. "Monsieur Mouillard! What a pleasant surprise!"
"And with this Monsieur Plumet left me. "I must confess, old fellow, that I am not burning with desire to get mixed up in this mess, or to go and ask Madame Plumet for the explanation which her husband was unable to give me. I shall bide my time. If anything turns up to-morrow, they are sure to tell me, and I will write you word.
Such was the innocence of their love that Marius was not even acquainted with Cosette's handwriting. What had taken place may be related in a few words. Eponine had been the cause of everything. After the evening of the 3d of June she had cherished a double idea, to defeat the projects of her father and the ruffians on the house of the Rue Plumet, and to separate Marius and Cosette.
"Some one has noiselessly opened it, and on the threshold stands Mademoiselle Jeanne in walking-dress, looking, with bright eyes and her most charming smile, at Plumet, who steps back in a fright, and Dufilleul, who has not yet seen her. "'Well, sir, and so I've caught you! "Dufilleul starts, and involuntarily clutches the portrait to his waistcoat. "'Mademoiselle No, really, you have come ?
The only thing which he made quite clear was his distress on finding that Madame Plumet was a woman whom it was hard to silence or to convince by argument. "It appears that she has gone back to her old trade of dress-making, and that one of her first customers God knows how she got there! was Mademoiselle Jeanne Charnot. "Well, last Monday Mademoiselle Jeanne was selecting a hat.
The Thenardier catastrophe involved the catastrophe of Magnon. One day, a short time after Magnon had handed to Eponine the note relating to the Rue Plumet, a sudden raid was made by the police in the Rue Clocheperce; Magnon was seized, as was also Mamselle Miss; and all the inhabitants of the house, which was of a suspicious character, were gathered into the net.
Monsieur Plumet looks very stiff, very unhappy, and very nervous. He evidently wants to get his customer off the premises. "The rustling of skirts is heard on the staircase. Plumet turns pale, and glancing at the half-opened door, through which the terrier is pushing its nose, steps forward to close it. It is too late.
"To the President of the Civil Court: "Monsieur Plumet, of 27 Rue Hauteville, in the city of Paris, by Counsellor Boule, his advocate, craves leave " It was a proceeding against a refractory debtor, the commonest thing in the world. "Monsieur Massinot!" "Yes, sir." "Who brought these papers?" "A very pretty little woman brought them this morning while you were out, sir."
M. Plumet is pensive. He is burdened with a secret. I am convinced I did wrong in not waiting longer on the Place de L'Opera. At last I am in Milan, an ancient city, but full of ideas and energy, my destination, and the cradle of the excellent Porfirio Zampini, suspected forger.
"'Well, really! "'Yes, I mean it. "'Since you make such a secret of it, I shall ask Monsieur Plumet to tell me. Monsieur Plumet, for whom is this portrait? "Plumet, pale as death, fumbled at his workman's cap, like a naughty child. "'Why, you see, Mademoiselle I am only a poor framemaker. "'Very well! I shall go to Madame Plumet, who is sure to know, and will not mind telling me.
