The sound of the voices of these Javanese girls who in the shadows look for all the world like figures that Rodin might have dreamed mingling their laughter with the weird music; shall linger long in one's memory of beautiful things. Their very nakedness seemed to fit in with the spirit of the night; a spirit of complete abandonment to beauty and worship.
"I am Rodin, lately secretary of the Abbe d'Aigrigny a person of very little importance, as you see." It is impossible to describe the accent, at once humble and ingenuous, of the Jesuit, as he pronounced these words, which he accompanied with a respectful bow. On this revelation, Mdlle. de Cardoville drew back abruptly.
Doubtless, Providence reserves you for great designs, since you have been already delivered from so much peril. Let us hope that you will be likewise saved from your present danger." Rodin answered by a hoarse growl, and turned his face towards the wall. The imperturbable prelate continued: "The views of Providence are not confined to your salvation, my very dear father.
"Now suppose that M. Rodin, putting things in their worst light, had some after-thought that he hopes to be liberally rewarded, for instance; hitherto, at least, he has shown complete disinterestedness." "That also is true, madame," said poor Mother Bunch, obliged, like Adrienne, to admit the evidence of fixed facts. "Now let us look to the possibility of treachery.
Samuel entered the room, and said: "A rather old man wishes to speak to M. Rodin." "That is my name, sir," answered the socius, in surprise; "I am much obliged to you." But, before following the Jew, he gave to Father d'Aigrigny a few words written with a pencil upon one of the leaves of his packet-book.
As for the East Indian, we now know where to find him; we must send to him a confidential person, and, if he recovers from his trance, there would be, in my humble opinion," said Rodin, modestly, "a very simple and quiet manner of keeping him away from the Rue Saint Francois all day to-morrow."
Rodin was struck with the expression of Samuel's countenance. His black eyes, generally so calm, sparkled with ardor. His features, usually impressed with a mixture of sorrow, intelligence, and goodness, seemed to grow harsh and stern, and his thin lips wore a strange smile. "It is not so very high," whispered Rodin to Caboccini, "and yet my legs ache, and I am quite out of breath.
"May this visit of his eminence," said the young priest, calmly, "be more profitable to Father Rodin than the last!" Cardinal Malipieri was crossing the garden, on his way to the apartment occupied by Rodin.
The plan proposed is a painful one, but it is the only way in which you can clear up, perhaps, for ever, your doubts as to M. Rodin. Notwithstanding the evidence of facts, in spite of the almost certainty of my presentiments, appearances may deceive us. I was the first who accused M. Rodin to you. I should not forgive myself all the rest of my life, did I accuse him wrongfully.
But, at the first touch of the four fires, he writhed like a serpent, without being able to utter a cry. Even the expression of pain was denied him. The four assistants being disturbed by, the sudden start of Rodin, it was necessary to begin again. "Courage, my dear father! offer these sufferings to the Lord!" said Dr. Baleinier, in a sanctified tone.
