"Not Fanfaro Jacques," corrected the old woman. "But what should we do in Leigoutte, mother?" "The box Jacques Talizac the papers," the woman replied. And so we find Caillette and her patient, after weary wanderings, in Leigoutte. The young girl had sold, on the way, a gold cross, the only jewel she possessed, to pay the expenses of the journey.
The proverb says that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The young girl whom Talizac abducted is named Louison, and I " "My poor boy, you do not really think " "That this Louison is my poor lost sister? Yes, I fear so, Papa Girdel. When I heard the name, I trembled in every limb, and since then the thought haunts me.
"You are right, Bobichel," said Fanfaro, and, pressing a kiss upon his mother's forehead, he ran off with Girdel and the clown. While Montferrand and Talizac were struggling, Robeckal slipped up to the door and winked to Louison. She hurried out and implored Robeckal to bring her out of this miserable house.
"Then I was not deceived. She has been abducted by that scoundrel, Talizac!" "Talizac?" repeated the maniac, with a foolish laugh. "Oh, I know him, do not let him in; he brings unhappiness unhappiness!" "Then he has been here?" cried Fanfaro, terror-stricken. "No, not here in Sachemont I oh! my poor head." With a heart-rending cry the poor woman sank to the ground unconscious.
This man, who was none other than Fernando, the worthy friend of the Vicomte de Talizac, now slipped a gold piece into the scoundrel's hand. "Twenty louis more," he said, "when the affair is accomplished!" "Very good, sir. When I undertake anything, it is sure, let me tell you. La Roulante will see to everything." The two men separated.
The Marquis of Fougereuse was as white as a spectre. Was this Fanfaro going to pursue him forever? "Who is the bold fellow?" he audaciously said. "Throw him out." "Don't be so quick, marquis," said Fanfaro earnestly; "it is a question of a terrible crime, and your son the Vicomte de Talizac is the criminal! Oh, the shame of it! Does he think that because he is a nobleman he can do what he pleases?
"The Vicomte de Talizac?" replied one of the men addressed, who wore the cross of the Legion of Honor. "With a Talizac one does not fight duels."
The Marquis uttered a yell of rage. "Your memory is short, Monsieur de Talizac, and I will remind you that in 1817, one night the good man whom you killed with your infamy lay dying. You had the cruel courage to enter his room, and knelt at the side of his bed " "Be silent!" cried the Marquis. "My master cursed you, cursed you as a murderer! It was a horrible scene I saw and heard it all.
"This unfounded accusation will recoil on the heads of my calumniators. I have been against the monarchy, but I have had no hand in any plot with murder as its object. I am at your service, gentlemen!" Arthur whispered in the ear of de Talizac: "To-morrow, if you are not a coward, I shall expect you!" "And I will kill you!" answered the Vicomte.
"Go, my child," interposed the Marquise, "but leave the boy with me, for I hate to be alone in these rooms which are drearier than a cloister." The Vicomtesse de Talizac was of Austrian origin, and concealed under an air of languid indifference the most boundless ambition. Her large eyes were light and generally without expression, but on occasion they grew dark and flashed fire.
