She brought with her a tutor for her son Paul, a very nice, but very lazy little fellow. The two children were of the same age; they had known each other from their earliest years. Madame de Lavardens had a great regard for Dr. Reynaud, and one day she made him the following proposal: "Send Jean to me every morning," said she, "I will send him home in the evening.
He had a tranquil and childlike faith. But among these graves there was one which, oftener than all the others, received his visits and his prayers. It was the tomb of his old friend Dr. Reynaud, who had died in his arms in 1871, and under what circumstances!
My father, who had already twice made the voyage to Senegal, and who with various persons was persuaded they were going right upon the bank, also made his observations to the unfortunate pilot. His advice was no better received than those of Messrs. Reynaud, Espiau, Maudet, &c. Richefort, in the sweetest tone, replied, 'My dear, we know our business; attend to yours, and be quiet.
Scott and Bettina stopped, struck with this inscription carved on the stone: "Here lies Dr. Marcel Reynaud, Surgeon-Major of the Souvigny Mobiles; killed January 8, 1871, at the Battle of Villersexel. Pray for him." When they had read it, the Cure, pointing to Jean, said:. "It was his father!"
They exchanged many tender embraces; then, Richard, addressing his sister-in-law, said, laughingly: "Well, when is the wedding to be?" "What wedding?" "Yours." "My wedding?" "Yes, certainly." "And to whom am I about to be married?" "To Monsieur Jean Reynaud." "Ah! Susie has written to you?" "Susie? Not at all. Susie has not said a word. It is you, Bettina, who have written to me.
"Be very sure, my dear, for you know you might have been a marchioness or a princess if you had wished. You are sure you will not mind being plain Madame Reynaud?" "Absolutely; for I love him!" "Now let me make a proposal," Bettina went on. "Jean is going away to-morrow; I shall not see him for three weeks, and that will be time to know my own mind.
In 1688 we find mention made of bombs, which were vessels carrying six or eight light guns, and one or two heavy mortars for the purpose of throwing shells into a town. It is said that they were invented by Reynaud, a Frenchman, and that they were first employed at the bombardment of Algiers in 1681.
One can not well be the one without the other. And some day, in your father's house, in the place where he has done so much good, the poor people of the country round will find another Doctor Reynaud, to whom they may look for help. And I if by chance I am still in this world when that day comes, I shall be so happy! But I am wrong to speak of myself; I ought not, I do not count.

There was a short moment of trouble and hesitation. "Forward! forward!" shouted the officers. The men passed over the body of their comrade, and under a hail of bullets entered the town. Dr. Reynaud and the Abbe Constantin marched with the troops; they stopped by the wounded man; the blood was rushing in floods from his mouth. "There is nothing to be done," said the doctor.
