Questioned as to the employment of such guilty and desperate means of opposition, one of our candidates, Monsieur de Sallenauve, answered thus: "Riots will always be found to serve the interests of the government; for this reason the police are invariably accused of inciting them.
Presently convincing himself, like a mussulman, that madmen have the gift of second sight, he believed he was a lost man, and instantly a stabbing pain began on his liver side, while in the direction of Sallenauve, his predicted successor, an awful hatred succeeded to his mild good-will.
"Maxime came to see me, as I told you," said the colonel, "on his return from Arcis-sur-Aube, and he is full of an idea of discovering something about the pretended parentage of this sculptor by which to oust him " "I know," interrupted Rastignac; "he spoke to me about that idea, and there's neither rhyme nor reason in it. Either this Sallenauve has some value, or he is a mere cipher.
"You permit me, monsieur?" said Sallenauve, laughing. "As you see, I am not a very savage republican." So saying, he followed Nais, who led him along by the hand.
If by chance Monsieur de Sallenauve gives you any particulars about his journey, you will, perhaps, allow me to profit by them." "Monsieur de Sallenauve," said the countess, after reading the letter, "requests me to inform my husband that he has gone to Hanwell, county of Middlesex, England. You can address him there, monsieur, to the care of Doctor Ellis."
After reading the letter, his face seemed to Philippe convulsed. "Tell them not to unharness," he said; and he read the letter through a second time. When the old servant returned after executing the order, Sallenauve asked him at what hour they had started. "About nine," answered Philippe.
"That evening," continued Madame de l'Estorade, "Monsieur de Sallenauve told his housekeeper the opinion given of her talent, and with great kindness and delicacy let her know that she must now carry out her intention of supporting herself in that way. 'Yes, she replied, 'I think the time has come. We will talk of it later'; and she stopped the conversation.
There was everything, therefore, to fear from a grief which time had not only not assuaged, but, on the contrary, had increased by duration, until it was sharper and more intolerable than before. The gates were opened by Philippe, the old servant, who had been constituted by Madame Gaston majordomo of the establishment. "How is your master?" asked Sallenauve.
"We'll talk about that presently; now I want to ask if you desire Monsieur de Sallenauve to love you?" "Heaven forbid!" "Well, then, the best possible way to make him do so is to wound his self-love, and show yourself unjust and ungrateful to him; you will only force him to think the more of you." "But, my dear friend, isn't that a very far-fetched observation?"
He had said that he should ever be found an obstacle to all attempts of the royal power to subvert our institutions. What did he mean by such resistance? Was it armed resistance, the resistance of riots and barricades? "Barricades," replied Sallenauve, "have nearly always seemed to me machines which turned of themselves and crushed the men who raised them.
