The King gave his lordship instructions that evening to prepare a patent authorizing the Sieur Lucien Chardon to bear the arms and title of the Comtes de Rubempre, as grandson of the last Count by the mother's side. 'Especially when the King can work miracles, and change the song-bird into an eagle, M. de Navarreins replied."
M. Nathan, I must introduce M. Lucien de Rubempre to you, as you are to meet again at supper." "You have a good name, monsieur," said Nathan. "Lucien, M. Raoul Nathan," continued Etienne. "I read your book two days ago; and, upon my word, I cannot understand how you, who have written such a book, and such poetry, can be so humble to a journalist."
We consented to recognize his position as a diplomatic envoy, and allow him to be claimed by the Spanish Embassy. It was in consequence of this plan that I made out the papers by which Lucien de Rubempre was released, and revised the minutes of the examinations, washing the prisoners as white as snow.
But his companion walked about the place, and visited the Hamilton, where he again encountered Captain Rombold, who introduced him to Colonel Passford; informing him that he was to be his fellow passenger. When the commander of the Dornoch told him that he might not make a Confederate port for some weeks, if at all, M. Rubempré decided not to take passage with him.
"Perhaps you are right, M. Rubempré; but I think a good deal more discretion would become them better, as they are likely to ascertain very soon," added Christy. "I suppose none of these people here would consider it possible or practicable to land at these islands and pick up the news, as we have done.
"I have taken not a few prisoners in or off Southern ports, and it would not greatly surprise me if I should meet some one I had met before," said Christy, in French, as he resumed his seat by the side of the detective. "Then I fear that your coming with me was a mistake," replied M. Rubempré.
"My dear child, M. de Rubempre is just about to recite his Saint John in Patmos, a magnificent biblical poem." "Biblical!" echoed Fifine in amazement. Amelie and Fifine went back to the drawing-room, taking the word back with them as food for laughter. Lucien pleaded a defective memory and excused himself.
Then he took his leave after a final flash of happy inspiration. "I expect I shall have a box at one of the theatres to-morrow," he remarked carelessly; "I will call for you and M. de Rubempre, for you must allow me to do the honors of Paris." "There is more generosity in his character than I thought," said Mme. de Bargeton to herself when Lucien was included in the invitation.
"You are in the military, my friend?" continued the detective. "No, sir; I am a sailor. Allow me to introduce myself as Captain Rombold, of the steamer Dornoch." "I am extremely happy to make your acquaintance, Captain Rombold. To reciprocate, I am M. Rubempré, of Paris," added the Frenchman, as he filled his companion's glass, and they tippled again with an abundance of compliments.
Lucien, all eyes and ears, noticed that no one except Louise, M. de Bargeton, the Bishop, and some few who wished to please the mistress of the house, spoke of him as M. de Rubempre; for his formidable audience he was M. Chardon. Lucien's courage sank under their inquisitive eyes.
