At the beginning of 1759 the procureur-général laid an information before the court against Helvétius's book, against half a dozen minor publications, and finally against the Encyclopædia. The De l'Esprit was alleged to be a mere abridgment of the Encyclopædia, and the Encyclopædia was denounced as being the opprobrium of the nation by its impious maxims and its hostility to morals and religion.
The viscount, now promoted to be procureur-general, would occasionally blame her for certain unintelligent acts of charity by which, as he knew from his secret police-reports, she had given encouragement to criminal schemes. "If you ever want money for any of your paupers, let me be a sharer in your good deeds," said old Grossetete, taking Veronique's hand.
The Stockman had cattle on a thousand hills, the Merchant habitually sold goods at cost. As for the Judge his fine Italian hand was distinctly traceable in the frenzied replies to frenzied attacks upon certain frenzied financial transactions of his chief, a frenzied but by no means verdant copper magnate, to whom he, the Judge, was Procureur-General, adviser legal and otherwise.
"No; only a counselor, of the name of Vanel." Aramis became perfectly purple. "Vanel!" he cried, rising abruptly from his seat; "Vanel! the husband of Marguerite Vanel?" "Exactly." "Of your former mistress?" "Yes, my dear fellow; she is anxious to be the wife of the procureur-general.
He talked long and earnestly with the secretary-general and the first and second, and to lend even a darker color to the scene, the procureur-général, the Martinique black, tall, protuberant, mopping his bald head, took the center of the conclave.
"Tascheron is no doubt endeavoring to shield some one, whom the restitution will no doubt bring to light," said the procureur-general. "Monsieur," replied the rector, "I know absolutely nothing which would either confute or justify your suspicion. Besides, the secrets of confession are inviolable." "Will the restitution really take place?" asked the man of law.
As a woman, with those traits, there is almost tragic inevitability in the manner in which we find her ranged with what Dickens called ``Glory's bastard brother'' Murder. On Tuesday, the 1st of July, in the year 1851, two gentlemen, sober of face as of raiment, presented themselves at the office of the Procureur-General in the City of Rennes.
He occasionally resumed the caustic tone which he seemed to have renounced when he harangued his associates before their departure from the Temple. With the most sarcastic bitterness he alluded to the name and vote of Thuriot, one of the most violent of the judges, often terming him 'Tue-roi'; Merlin, the imperial Procureur-General, was one of the regicides.
I think the Minister of Justice and his procureur-général have very little ground for these lamentations. After all the minister only complains of having 9,000 applications for office.
The Procureur-General invited M. Bidard to say what amount of intelligence he had found in Helene. M. Bidard declared that he had never seen in any of his servants an intelligence so acute or subtle. He held her to be a phenomenon in hypocrisy. He put forward a fact which he had neglected to mention in his deposition. It might throw light on the character of the accused.
