"Where did you get a gun?" "I I had taken it from the count to shoot birds: and I I have it still still. It is hid in the hole where Michael found me." Poor Dr. Seignebos could not stand it any longer. He suddenly pushed open the door, and, rushing into the court, he cried, "Bravo, Goudar! Well done!" At the noise, Cocoleu had started up.
"And in fine, my dear," said the commonwealth attorney, "you have not a single eye-witness. And from time immemorial an eye-witness has been looked upon as worth a hundred hearsays." "I have Cocoleu," said M. Galpin, who was rather impatient of all these objections. "Have the doctors decided that he is not an idiot?" "No: Dr. Seignebos alone maintains that doctrine."
"Yes, but you cannot be admitted, except by a special permission from M. Galpin; and I doubt if we can procure that to-day." "That is provoking." "No, since we have our work all cut out for to-day. We have to go over all the papers of the proceedings, which the magistrate has placed in my hands." Dr. Seignebos was boiling over with impatience. He broke in, "Oh, what words! Go to work, Mr.
Seignebos and M. Folgat, still standing on the same spot, looked at each other in utter distress. "We have nothing more to do here," said M. Folgat. "No, indeed! Let us go back and make haste; for perhaps they are waiting for me. You must breakfast with me."
Seignebos; the witnesses for the bride, M. Folgat and M. Daubigeon. Even the excellent commonwealth attorney laid aside on that day some of his usual gravity. He continually repeated, "Nunc est bibendum, nunc pede libero Pulsanda tellus." And he really did drink his glass of wine, and opened the ball with the bride. M. Galpin, who was sent to Algiers, was not present at the wedding.
Grandpapa Chandore, excellent M. Seneschal, Dr. Seignebos, and even M. Magloire, were literally drinking in the words of the Paris lawyer. "Is that all, gentlemen?" he continued. "By no means! Thanks to his great experience, Dr. Seignebos had, on the very first day, instinctively guessed who was the most important personage of this mysterious drama." "Cocoleu!" "Exactly, Cocoleu.
Well, I swear by all I hold most sacred, on my Republican faith, I am ready to affirm upon oath, that, when Cocoleu uttered Jacques de Boiscoran's name, the countess exhibited no sign of surprise." Never before, in their life, had the mayor of Sauveterre and Dr. Seignebos been able to agree on any subject.
Seignebos was discouraged. He made up a parcel of things which he had given to his patient, put it into his hands, pushed him out of his door, and told him never to come back again. The doctor had rendered Cocoleu a sad service.
Thereupon he lifted his hat, returned to town, and immediately asked M. Seneschal in the most imperious manner to have Cocoleu arrested. Unfortunately the gendarmes had been unsuccessful; and Dr. Seignebos, who saw how unfortunate all this was for Jacques, began to get terribly impatient, when on Saturday night, towards ten o'clock, M. Seneschal came in, and said, "Cocoleu is found."
"And I hope you will forgive me those suspicions which now fill me with horror." But the marchioness had no strength left: she fainted, and had to be removed, accompanied by Dionysia and the Misses Lavarande. As soon as they were out of the room, Dr. Seignebos locked the door, rested his elbow on the chimney, and, taking off his spectacles to wipe them, said to M. Folgat,
