Tancret, as pale as if about to faint, had arisen, letting fall his hat, which rolled along the floor. He stammered out: "Mon Dieu madame it is I I thought I ventured I was so sorry " As she did not answer, he continued: "Will you forgive me?"
Tancret, who was naturally prudent, seemed a little worried by this proposition, and he asked: "Oh! really is it possible? Are we not exposing ourselves to to a scene?" "No, no, indeed!" "Because, you know, Madame Bendel bears malice for a long time." "Yes, but I can assure you that she no longer bears you any ill will.
But, now he thought of it, she had had a friend, an intimate friend, who for almost a year had dined with them three times a week. Tancret, good old Tancret, whom he, Bendel, loved as a brother and whom he continued to see on the sly, since his wife, he did not know why, had grown angry at the charming fellow. He stopped to think, looking over the past with anxious eyes.

"A lady of my acquaintance, whom you may perhaps know by name, Madame Boutin." "Ah! really. Well, I think that my wife has forgotten her grudge, for this very morning she spoke to me of you in very pleasant terms." Tancret started and seemed so dumfounded that for a few minutes he could find nothing to say. Then he asked: "She spoke of me in pleasant terms?" "Yes." "You are sure?"
As soon as he found himself walking along the streets that led to Tancret's, he felt like stopping, He paused in front of several shops, noticed the prices of certain objects, was interested in new things, felt like taking a glass of beer, which was not his usual custom; and as he approached his friend's dwelling he ardently hoped not meet him. But Tancret was at home, alone, reading.
