On all sides he had been greeted by ironical salutations, mocking smiles, and even expressions of condolence at the loss of his prisoner. Two men, whom he suspected of being in close relations with Dr. Seignebos, had even murmured, as he passed by them, "Cheated, Mr. Bloodhound." He was the first to notice the young advocate, and at once said to him, "Well, sir, do you come for news?"
One day I thought I would try an experiment; and, instead of letting him have his breakfast, I said to him, 'You shall have nothing to eat till you say, "I am hungry." At the end of twenty-four hours I had to let him have his pittance; for he would have starved himself sooner than utter a word." "What does Dr. Seignebos think of him?"
He is met with by people. Is not that quite natural? But no: an idiot accuses him, and forthwith all he does looks suspicious. He talks. It is the insolence of a hardened criminal. He is silent. It is the remorse of a guilty man trembling with fear. Instead of naming M. de Boiscoran, Cocoleu might just as well have named me, Dr. Seignebos.
Seignebos, who is certainly an honest man?" The young lawyer shook his head. "I wanted to have twenty-four hours' delay, because we must absolutely consult M. de Boiscoran. Could I tell the doctor so? Had I a right to take him into Miss Dionysia's secret?" "You are right," murmured M. de Chandore, "you are right."
M. de Chandore and M. Folgat took their seats; and, while they were getting in, the mayor warned the young Paris lawyer, "Above all, be prudent and circumspect. The public mind is already but too much inflamed. Politics are mixed up with the case. I am afraid of some disturbance at the burial of the firemen; and they bring me word that Dr. Seignebos wants to make a speech at the graveyard.
In the meantime, poor Dr. Seignebos, who had unwillingly caused the catastrophe, was distressed beyond measure; still he hastened to the assistance of Goudar, who lay insensible on the sand of the court. The two wounds which the detective had received were quite serious, but not fatal, or even very dangerous, as the knife had been turned aside by the ribs.
I have seen her, gentlemen, with her husband and her children. No one can feign such looks of tenderness and affection." "He will never give her up!" growled Dr. Seignebos, And touching his friend on the shoulder, for M. Magloire had been his friend for many years, and they were quite intimate, he said, "Ah!
Seignebos, the possibility that there was an accomplice, and that it was Cocoleu, in all probability, who had been charged with the execution of the crime. But how could that fact be made useful to the defence? He saw no way. Goudar was an able man; and the manner in which he had introduced himself into the hospital and Cocoleu's company indicated a master.
Here she was interrupted by the janitor of the hospital, who came up, bowing. "What do you want?" she asked. Vaudevin, the janitor, handed her a note. "A man brought by a gendarme," he replied. "Immediately to be admitted." The lady superior read the note, signed by Dr. Seignebos. "Epileptic," she said, "and somewhat idiotic: as if we wanted any more! And a stranger into the bargain! Really Dr.
"That is so!" replied the old gentleman and M. Folgat. Dr. Seignebos was triumphant. Gesticulating, and continually handling his spectacles, he added, "You see I have learnt to mistrust appearances; and hence I had my misgivings from the beginning. I watched the Countess Claudieuse the night of the fire; and I saw that she looked embarrassed, troubled, suspicious.
