The look of his eyes, with the yellow circles about them, corroborated the symptoms. "Had you some violent shock a couple of days ago?" the doctor asked the patient. "Yes, alas!" "You have the same complaint that this gentleman was threatened with," said Dr. Poulain, looking at Schmucke as he spoke; "it is an attack of jaundice, but you will soon get over it," he added, as he wrote a prescription.
Sauvage with her, and to put in Fraisier's servant was almost tantamount to installing Fraisier himself. The Abbe Duplanty, coming downstairs, found the gateway blocked by the Cibots' friends, all of them bent upon showing their interest in one of the oldest and most respectable porters in the Marais. Dr. Poulain raised his hat, and took the Abbe aside.
Dr. Poulain had distinguished himself to some extent as a house-student; he was a prudent practitioner, and not without experience. His deaths caused no scandal; he had plenty of opportunities of studying all kinds of complaints in anima vili. Judge, therefore, of the spleen that he nourished!
They both began to swear, but, looking up, recognized each other. "Brother Borromée!" cried Poulain. "Nicholas Poulain!" exclaimed the monk. "How are you?" asked Nicholas cautiously. "Where in the world were you running to in such a hurry at this time of night? Is the priory on fire?" "No; I was going to the Duchesse de Montpensier's hotel, to speak to M. de Mayneville." "And what for?"
"Poulain told me about you, my dear madame," said the lawyer, in the unnatural fashion commonly described by the words "mincing tones"; tones sharp, thin, and grating as verjuice, in spite of all his efforts. Arrived at this point, he tried to draw the skirts of his dressing-gown over a pair of angular knees encased in threadbare felt.
"What have we here?" cried the Police Agent tapping one of the panels which formed the wall opposite the door and the fireplace. "It is a way through into our daughter's room," said Poulain sullenly, and opening what appeared to be a cupboard door. The American took an eager step forward.
On the other hand, Nicholas Poulain, bought for twenty thousand crowns by the 'politiques, gave the King and his advisers-full information of all these intrigues, and, standing in Henry's cabinet, offered, at peril of his life, if he might be confronted with the conspirators the leaders of the League within the city to prove the truth of the charges which he had made.
"What will you do, left alone with your dead friend?" asked M. l'Abbe Duplanty when Schmucke came to the door. "You have not Mme. Cibot now " "Ein monster dat haf killed Bons!" "But you must have somebody with you," began Dr. Poulain. "Some one must sit up with the body to-night." "I shall sit up; I shall say die prayers to Gott," the innocent German answered.
Poulain made his rounds on foot, scouring the Marais like a lean cat, and obtained from two to forty sous out of a score of visits. The paying patient was a phenomenon about as rare as that anomalous fowl known as a "white blackbird" in all sublunary regions.
But is M. Pons very ill?" she asked, smiling. "Upon my word, madame, he might pull through, especially with so conscientious a doctor as Poulain in attendance; for this friend of mine, madame, is simply an unconscious spy directed by me in your interests.
