Yesterday, on the contrary, he found him so bright with happiness, that he could not help asking him the cause of the alteration." "Well?" said Rodin and the princess together, both extremely surprised. "The marshal answered: 'I am indeed the happiest man in the world; for I am going joyfully to accomplish a sacred duty!" The three actors in this scene looked at each other in silence.
We shall see if it merits belief, by information from another source." Rodin made a sign of impatience, to hasten Father d'Aigrigny to read the note, which he did as follows. "'For some days, the mind of the marshal has appeared to be less sorrowful, anxious and agitated. He lately passed two hours with his daughters, which had not been the case for some time before.
When Faringhea had quitted the room, Rodin took the letter from Abbe d'Aigrigny with one hand, and with the other appeared to be looking for something, first in the side pocket of his great-coat, then in the pocket behind, then in that of his trousers; and, not finding what he sought, he laid the letter on his knee, and felt himself all over with both hands, with an air of regret and uneasiness.
These repeated questions of the young Indian appeared to puzzle Rodin, who, however, replied: "I have told you, my dear prince, that your secret friend would perhaps have his tranquillity compromised, if he were known." "If he were known as my friend?" "Exactly so, dear prince."

"You, sir? at Cardoville House to commit a bad action?" cried Adrienne, much surprised. "Alas! yes, my dear young lady," answered Rodin with simplicity.
Baleinier, and send him to us as soon as he arrives," resumed Father d'Aigrigny: and, returning to the sick chamber, he sat down by the bedside, and said to Rodin, as he showed him the letter: "Here are different reports with regard to different members of the Rennepont family, whom I have had looked after by others, my indisposition having kept me at home for the last few days.
Endowed with an excellent local memory, Rodin was about to take the direction of the Red Saloon, in which had been held the first convocation of the heirs, when Samuel stopped him, and said: "It is not that way." Then, taking the lamp, he advanced towards a dark staircase, for the windows of the house had not been un-bricked.
