These were, presumably, the descendants of Marius, Count of Rennepont, in the reign of Louis XIV. of France. They were distinguished from other men by a simple token, which all, in the year above named, had in their hands.
With his lean hand, he beckoned Father d'Aigrigny to approach the bed, and said to him, in a broken voice, so weak that it was scarcely audible: "I am very ill the cardinal has nearly finished me but if this excellent news relates to the Rennepont affair of which I hear nothing it might save me yet!" "Be saved then!" cried Father d'Aigrigny, forgetting the recommendations of Dr.
Then, as his charitable and lofty soul began fully to comprehend the admirable tendency of the association so earnestly recommended by Marius de Rennepont, he reflected with bitter remorse, that, in consequence of his act of renunciation, and of the absence of any other heir, this great idea would never be realized, and a fortune, far more considerable than had even been expected, would fall to the share of an ill-omened society, in whose hands it would become a terrible means of action.
M. Gabriel de Rennepont and I humbly beg him to contradict me, if I depart in the least instance from the exact truth M. Gabriel de Rennepont, in acknowledgment of the care formerly bestowed on him by the society to which I have the honor to belong, made over to me, as its representative, freely and voluntarily, all the property that might come to him one day, the value of which was unknown to him, as well as to myself."
We must no longer defend ourselves, but lead the attack, so as to annihilate this accursed race of Rennepont, and obtain possession of these millions."

There are over two hundred millions. Should the eventuality occur, what was doubtful must become certain. An immense latitude is left us. The Rennepont business is now doubly mine, and within three months, the two hundred millions will be ours, by the free will of the heirs themselves. It must be so; for this failing, the temporal part would escape me, and my chances be diminished by one half.
He was ignorant of the object of the imprisonment of Mdlle. de Cardoville; he was ignorant also of the sudden change which had taken place in the relative position of Father d'Aigrigny and Rodin, after the reading of the testament of Marius de Rennepont. At sight of the doctor, Mdlle. de Cardoville could not hide the aversion and disdain with which this man inspired her.
The first, addressed to his mysterious correspondent at Rome, alluded to the deaths of Jacques Rennepont, and Rose and Blanche Simon, as well as to the cession of M. Hardy's property, and the donation of Gabriel events which reduced the claimants of the inheritance to two Mdlle. de Cardoville and Djalma.
Every member of the execrable Rennepont family will be crushed and that soon you will see " Then, pausing, Rodin threw himself back on the pillow, exclaiming: "Oh! I am choked with joy. My voice fails me." "But what is it?" asked the cardinal of Father d'Aigrigny.
