Pushing open the door she passed through into the dimly-lit side aisle where stood the Lady Altar. This old church held many memories for Madame Poulain.
M. Vitel, the justice of the peace before whom Fraisier pleaded, was a man of sixty-nine, in failing health; he talked of retiring on a pension; and Fraisier used to talk with Poulain of succeeding him, much as Poulain talked of saving the life of some rich heiress and marrying her afterwards. No one knows how greedily every post in the gift of authority is sought after in Paris.
She put the tray down on the bed, and she was already making her way quickly, silently to the door, when Nancy called out urgently, "Madame? Madame Poulain! Has my husband gone out!" And then she checked herself, and tried to convey the same question in her difficult French "Mon mari?" she said haltingly. "Mon mari?"
Meanwhile my daughter and myself" and then he hesitated, for, well as he knew French, Senator Burton did not quite know how to convey his meaning, namely, that they, he and his daughter, meant to see her through. "My daughter and myself," he repeated firmly, "are going to do the best we can to help her." Madame Poulain opened her lips then she shut them tight again.
"Do not seem to notice, M. Nicholas Poulain," said Chicot. The lieutenant started again. "Who are you, and what do you want?" asked he. "I am a friend, new, but intimate; what I want will take long to explain; come here to me." "To you?" "Yes; here in the ditch." "What for?" "You shall know when you come." "But " "Come and sit down here, without appearing to notice me." "Monsieur?" "Oh!
Madame Poulain, with the adaptability of her kind the adaptability which makes the French innkeeper the best in the world, always served a real "American breakfast" in the Burtons' salon. As his son made no answer to his remark, he went on, "I should like to be at the station a few minutes before the Hamworths' train is due."
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.
But it was Madame Poulain who came languidly forward from the end of the passage. "Yes," she said. "If you wish to see that room you will have to get a ladder and climb up from the outside.
Madame Poulain was now speechless with indignation, and yes, with surprise. When at last she did speak, her voice trembled with pain and anger.
Madame Poulain had strolled out, her arms akimbo, to see what was going on. And, as if she had guessed the purport of Miss Burton's words, she walked forward, and speaking this time respectfully, even suavely, to "Monsieur le Senateur," observed, "My husband and I regret very greatly that we cannot ask this lady to stay on in our hotel. We have no vacant room no room at all!"
