This letter was signed "Father A .... priest and procureur of La Trappe," and he added, as a postscript, "If a twenty-three years' emigration' and four campaigns in a regiment of horse-chasseurs in the army of Conde, give me any claims to the royal favor, I beg you will make use of them."
"That will be but a trifling stretch of my authority," replied the Juge d' Instruction, smiling, "if it is any stretch whatever, for, as I understand the case, the prisoners are to remain virtually in your custody until their departure from France, for which you have pledged your word to the Procureur de la République. Hence the favor you ask shall be cheerfully granted."
And now the schemes he had long studied in secret he had begun to carry through as certainly and relentlessly as Fate. M. de Villefort, now procureur du roi, had a daughter by his first wife, for he had married a second time. Her name was Valentine, and at the command of her father, but not by her own wish, she was engaged to the Baron Franz d'Epinay.

Bongrand, delighted, followed him there.
After asking the Nemours doctor to lend him his horse and cabriolet, he went back to Ursula's house for the two important volumes and for her own certificate of Funds; then, armed with the extract from the inventory, he drove to Fontainebleau and had an interview with the procureur du roi.
He was not really noting anything down, but only going over the letters of his notes with a pen, having seen the procureur and leading advocates, after putting a clever question, make a note, with which, later on, to annihilate their adversaries. "Well! What happened next?" he then went on. "I came home," looking a little more boldly only at the president, "and went to bed.
"Not submitted to your side," said the judge, severely, "but possibly to the procureur du roi. The case is heard." The judge then wrote at the bottom of the petition the following order:
Visiting is allowed there only on certain days; I should advise you to inquire there." "But I must see her as soon as possible," Nekhludoff said, his jaw trembling as he felt the decisive moment approaching. "Why must you?" said the Procureur, lifting his brows with some agitation. "Because I betrayed her and brought her to the condition which exposed her to this accusation."
