Saint-Esteve puts a woman in to keep the shop " "La Gonore," said Jacqueline. "Poor la Pouraille's moll," said Paccard. "That is where I bolted to with Europe the day that poor Madame van Bogseck died, our mis'ess." "Who jabbers when I am speaking?" said Jacques Collin. Perfect silence fell in the coach. Paccard and Prudence did not dare look at each other.
"The four hundred and fifty thousand francs are all safe, one-third in la Gonore's cellar la Pouraille's share; the second third in la Gonore's bedroom, which is Ruffard's; and the rest is hidden in Godet's sister's house. We will begin by taking a hundred and fifty thousand francs out of la Pouraille's whack, a hundred thousand of Godet's, and a hundred thousand of Ruffard's.
In Trompe-la Mort, who had escaped eight years since, this trick had to a great extent worn off; but just now, lost in reflections, he walked at such a slow and solemn pace that, slight as the limp was, it was strikingly evident to so practiced an eye as la Pouraille's.

I have him safe, and can ring the old boss' neck. I am certain I shall save Madeleine." "If you save Madeleine, my good boss, you can just as easily " "Don't waste your spittle," said Jacques Collin shortly. "Make your will."
It is a dog's life, still it is life!" La Pouraille's eyes glittered with suppressed delirium. "With seven hundred thousand francs you can get a good many drinks," said Jacques Collin, making his pal quite drunk with hope. "Ay, ay, boss!" "I can bamboozle the Minister of Justice. Ah, ha! Ruffard will shell out to do for a reeler. Bibi-Lupin is fairly gulled!"
Le Biffon and Fil-de-Soie would be sentenced for a term of fifteen years for robbery with violence, without prejudice to the ten years' penal servitude on a former sentence, which they had taken the liberty of cutting short. So, though one had twenty-two and the other twenty-six years of imprisonment to look forward to, they both hoped to escape, and come back to find la Pouraille's mine of gold.
