"What did you do then?" "We raised up the count: we carried him up stairs and laid him on his bed. Then we brought mistress round again; and the valet went in haste to fetch Dr. Seignebos." "What said the countess when she recovered her consciousness?" "Nothing. Mistress looked like a person who has been knocked in the head." "Was there any thing else?" "Oh, yes, sir!" "What?"
M. Seneschal, however, who came in just as coffee was handed round, evidently shared M. Folgat's apprehensions. The good mayor came to hear the news, and to tell his friends how he had spent the day. The funeral of the firemen had passed off quietly, although amid deep emotion. No disturbance had taken place, as was feared; and Dr. Seignebos had not spoken at the graveyard.
Seignebos, M. Magloire also was a Republican; and, at the last Imperial elections, the Bonapartists had had the greatest trouble, aided though they were by the whole influence of the government, and shrinking from no unfair means, to keep him out of the Chamber.
"I beg you will notice, doctor, that Count Claudieuse himself deposed how, when he ran to the fire, he found the door shut from within, just as he had left it a few hours before." Dr. Seignebos returned a most ironical bow, and then asked, "Is there really only one door in the chateau at Valpinson?" "To my knowledge," said M. de Chandore, "there are at least three."
Count Claudieuse and his wife had installed themselves, the day after the fire, in Mautrec Street. The house which the mayor had taken for them had been for more than a century in the possession of the great Julias family, and is still considered one of the finest and most magnificent mansions in Sauveterre. In less than ten minutes Dr. Seignebos and M. Folgat had reached the house.
We have time before us; and the conduct of Count Claudieuse relieves us from all restraint of delicacy. The veil shall be torn now." The door opened violently, interrupting his words. Dr. Seignebos entered, red with anger, and darting fiery glances from under his gold spectacles. "Count Claudieuse?" M. Folgat asked eagerly. "Is next door," replied the doctor.
You need not trouble yourself about any thing. You shall have whatever you want, and they will pay you your wages as if you were in service." M. Folgat had not time to say more; for Dr. Seignebos rushed in like a tempest, and cried out at the top of his voice, "Victory! We are victorious now! Great Victory!" But he could not speak before Suky and the agent.
I am no further advanced than I was the first day." "Let us hope you will have more luck here." "I hope so; but I need your assistance to commence operations. I must see Dr. Seignebos, and Mechinet the clerk. Ask them to meet me at the place I shall assign in a note which I will send them." "I will tell them."
The prosecution is justified, by an opinion of the faculty, in saying to M. de Boiscoran, 'You need not deny any longer. You have been seen; here is a witness." These arguments must have struck Dr. Seignebos very forcibly; for he remained silent for at least ten long seconds, wiping his gold spectacles with a pensive air.
M. Folgat, that man Goudar is very clever: I tell you so; and we understand each other perfectly." "Has he told you what he proposes to do?" "Nearly so. But he has not authorized me to speak of it. Have patience; let him go to work, wait, and you will see if old Seignebos has a keen scent."
