"In the mean time, return to your mother and tell her what you have learned; but, that she may not yield to an exaggerated hope, tell her, also, that if there are chances, and great ones, in favor of your brother, on the other side there are some that are unfavorable. Tomorrow or this evening you will return to the Rue Sainte-Anne and begin your inquiries of the concierge.
But these fears did not torment him long, for Phillis, who now passed a part of every day in the Rue Sainte-Anne with Madame Dammauville, came one evening in despair, and told him that that day the invalid had been able to leave her bed for a few minutes only. Then she would not go to court.
I had a useful little electric torch, which lived in my pocket, and from which a cord led to a small bulb of light that worked with a switch and could be hung on my belt. That left my arms free in case of emergencies. Likewise I strapped on my pistol. There was little traffic in the hamlet of Eaucourt Sainte-Anne that night.
It was a risk that he ran, but how much he had on his side! He hastened along the Rue Neuve-des-Petits-Champs, but on approaching the Rue Sainte-Anne he slackened his steps, looking about him and listening. Nothing unusual struck him.

What would it be like if he came home? Nana insisted that they should leave him in the hospital because he might end by killing both of them. Gervaise was not able to go to Sainte-Anne until Sunday. It was a tremendous journey. Fortunately, the omnibus from the Boulevard Rochechouart to La Glaciere passed close to the asylum.
All day yesterday and all this morning I was filled with the feeling of disgrace that followed me, when at three o'clock I received this little note from the concierge of the Rue Sainte-Anne." She took from her pocket a piece of paper folded in the form of a letter, which she handed to Saniel.
For it was not only when the country was in danger that Valerius had a passion for reading papers, but every morning and evening. Nothing that was published in the papers escaped him, and at the first words of the agent he understood immediately about what he was to be questioned. "It is concerning the affair in the Rue Sainte-Anne that you wish this information?" he said. "Frankly, yes."
