"It's only the old woman who is laughing," La Sarriette remarked; "La Normande looks anything but happy." Meantime, upstairs in his bedroom, Florent allowed himself to be taken as unresistingly as a sheep. The police officers sprang roughly upon him, expecting, no doubt, that they would meet with a desperate resistance.
Presently La Sarriette began to laugh. "What a jolly time I would have with Jules if my uncle would give that money to me!" said she. Madame Lecoeur, however, seemed quite overwhelmed by this revelation, crushed beneath the weight of the gold which she could not banish from her sight. Covetous envy thrilled her.
Police court proceedings have also shown that it is well known to the London milkmen, who are in the habit of adding water to their merchandise. Translator. "Come, do be quick!" La Sarriette now exclaimed, for she was getting impatient, and was, moreover, no longer accustomed to the malodorous atmosphere of the cellar. "Mademoiselle Saget will be going.
But here it's very sweet and pleasant. It makes you look quite rosy, my dear." La Sarriette began to laugh, for she was fond of compliments. Then she served a lady with a pound of mirabelle plums, telling her that they were as sweet as sugar. "I should like to buy some of those mirabelles too," murmured Mademoiselle Saget, when the lady had gone away; "only I want so few. A lone woman, you know."
La Sarriette laughed nervously. All at once they fancied they could see the window curtains moving, and this led them to believe that a struggle was taking place. But the house-front remained as tranquil as ever in the sunshine; and another quarter of an hour of unbroken quietness passed away, during which the three women's nervous excitement became more and more intense.
Sometimes when he was in bed he dreamed that a fight was going on in the wardrobe; he could hear guns being fired there, paving-stones being torn up and piled into barricades, and voices shouting in clamorous triumph; and he said to himself that it was his money fighting against the Government. La Sarriette, however, had stretched out her hands with a cry of delight.
You'd really never believe it. There was a whole bundle of papers." "What sort of abominable things?" asked La Sarriette with interest. "Oh, all kinds of filth. The commissary said there was quite sufficient there to hang him. The fellow's a perfect monster! To go and demoralise a child! Why, it's almost past believing!
But the old maid stamped impatiently whilst she repeated: "No, no; I've no time. I'm in a great hurry to see Madame Lecoeur. I've just learnt something and no mistake. You can come with me, if you like." As a matter of fact, she had simply gone through the fruit market for the purpose of enticing La Sarriette to go with her. The girl could not refuse temptation.
"Six gendarmes!" murmured La Sarriette, admiringly; "he must have a very heavy fist!" "And he's made away with plenty of others, as well," added Mademoiselle Saget. "I shouldn't advise you to meet him at night!" "What a villain!" stammered out Madame Lecoeur, quite terrified.
"Why, her letters to him have been found, a whole pile of letters, in which she asks for money, ten and twenty francs at a time. There's no doubt at all about it. I'm quite certain in my own mind that they killed the husband between them." La Sarriette and Madame Lecoeur were convinced; but they were beginning to get very impatient.
