Consequently, Monsieur Charles de Sallenauve is proclaimed Deputy. During the evening which followed the election in which he had played a part so humiliating to his vanity, Maxime de Trailles returned to Paris.
"I, too, will make you a confession: that letter to Monsieur de Sallenauve, giving him his dismissal, I have written it; you will find it in my blotting-book. If you think it will do, send it." Quite beside himself with delight at finding his proposed successor so readily sacrificed, Monsieur de l'Estorade did not control his joy; taking his wife in his arms, he kissed her effusively.
Monsieur de Sallenauve produced in proper time all the necessary papers proving his eligibility; his admission therefore would seem to present no difficulty.
If, at the time you consented to take me with you to Paris, I had seen you incline to treat me with gallantry, had you shown any sign of turning to your profit the dangerous situation in which I had placed myself, my heart would instantly have retired; you would have seemed to me an ordinary man " "So," remarked Sallenauve, "to love you would have been insulting; not to love you was cruel!
You are free to handle Monsieur de Sallenauve as your political enemy, without a moment's fear of troubling me." Thereupon they parted, and Messieurs Vinet and de Trailles were introduced. The attorney-general, Vinet, was the most devoted and the most consulted champion of the government among its various officials.
Though far from penetrating the many mysteries that surrounded Jacqueline Collin, Sallenauve knew Madame de Saint-Esteve to be a woman of doubtful character and a matrimonial agent, having at times heard Bixiou tell tales of her. "But that woman," he said, "has a shocking notoriety in Paris. She is an adventuress of the worst kind." "I suspected it," said Luigia. "But what of that?"
But on the day that you apostatized I would no longer continue my humiliating sacrifice. There is no future possible between us." "Do you mean," said Sallenauve, holding out his hand, which she did not take, "that we cannot even be friends?" "No," she replied; "all is over past and gone.
We say, therefore," continued the notary, taking up his pen, "Francois-Henri-Pantaleon Dumirail, Marquis de Sallenauve, domiciled with Monsieur Charles de Sallenauve, his natural son, by him legally recognized, in the house known as the Chateau d'Arcis, arrondissement of Arcis-sur-Aube, department of the Aube." The rest of the deed was read and executed without comment.
"I never come," replied Madame de l'Estorade. "And I am most assiduous," said Madame d'Espard. Then, pretending to a sudden recollection, she added, "Ah! I forgot; you have a special interest, I think, on this occasion. A friend of yours is to be judged, is he not?" "Yes; Monsieur de Sallenauve has been to our house several times."
You have, no doubt, said to yourselves you and Sallenauve that I was acting strangely in not visiting her grave; that is a remark that two of my servants made the other day, not being aware that I overheard them.
