Where do you dine this evening?" he added. "In a cave," replied Desroches, "with a band." "Where's that?" "I suppose, in the course of your erotic existence, you have had recourse to the good offices of a certain Madame de Saint-Esteve?" "No," replied Maxime, "I have always done my own business in that line."
On the morrow, when Lucien was smoking his cigarettes after breakfast, sitting with Carlos, who had become much depressed, M. de Saint-Esteve was announced what a touch of irony who begged to see either the Abbe Carlos Herrera or Monsieur Lucien de Rubempre. "Was he told downstairs that I had left Paris?" cried the Abbe. "Yes, sir," replied the groom.
"Dose teufel of geniuses of de common people hafe alvays ten vays of making money, and ein dozen vays of spending it," said the Baron to himself, quite unconscious that Panurge had thought the same thing. He sent his servant off in quest of Madame de Saint-Esteve, who did not come till the next day.
"Formerly a perfumer, a mayor yes, I live in his district under the name of Ma'ame Nourrisson," said the woman. "The other person is Madame Marneffe." "I do not know," said Madame de Saint-Esteve. "But within three days I will be in a position to count her shifts." "Can you hinder the marriage?" asked Victorin. "How far have they got?" "To the second time of asking." "We must carry off the woman.
Now, on the morning of the very day when Madame de Saint-Esteve had prophesied success to Victorin, Carabine had said to du Tillet at about seven o'clock: "If you want to be very nice, you will give me a dinner at the Rocher de Cancale and bring Combabus. We want to know, once for all, whether he has a mistress. I bet that he has, and I should like to win."
Nevertheless, Cavalier did not lose heart, but accompanied them on their march to Saint-Esteve, about a league farther on, unable to relinquish all hope. On reaching Saint-Esteve the singing ceased for a moment, and he made another attempt to recall them to obedience.

Madame de Saint-Esteve, by tossing the Baron from hope to despair by turns, brought him to the point when he insisted on being informed of all that related to the unknown beauty at ANY COST. Meanwhile, the law was put in force, and with such effect that the bailiffs, finding no resistance from Esther, put in an execution on her effects without losing a day.
"You, Prudence," Jacques went on, "will want a career, a position, a future; you must remain in my service. Listen to me. There is a very good house in the Rue Sainte-Barbe belonging to that Madame de Saint-Esteve, whose name my aunt occasionally borrows. It is a very good business, with plenty of custom, bringing in fifteen to twenty thousand francs a year.
Now, as sure as my name is Saint-Esteve in the way of business, of course I will stand by you." "Goot, I shall repay you." "I believe you, my boy, for I have shown you that I know how to be revenged. Besides, I tell you this, daddy, I know how to snuff out your Madame Esther as you would snuff a candle. And I know my lady!
