When he reached the Rue Taranne he knocked at the door of a small furnished lodging-house at the corner of that street and the Rue du Dragon, took a candlestick from a table, a key numbered 12 from a nail, and climbed the stairs without exciting other attention than a well-known lodger would returning home.

Baleinier, No. 12, Rue Taranne. I ran thither, but he had gone out; they told me that I should find him about five o'clock at his asylum, which is next door to the convent. That is how we have met." "But the medal the medal?" said Dagobert, impatiently; "where did you see it?" "It is with regard to this and other things that I wished to make important communications to Mdlle. de Cardoville."
While the angry gentlemen stood together, with the hunchback apart eying them derisively, and Chavernay standing between the belligerents as peace-maker, Taranne hurriedly joined the group. He was evidently choking with news and eager to distribute it. "Friends, friends," he cried, "there is something extraordinary going on here to-night!" "What is it?" asked Chavernay.
Mademoiselle Delaunay was not yet restored, according to the writer, to the atelier which she adorned. 'On criait au scandale, mainly because she was such a clever little animal, and the others envied and hated her.

She had two subjects in her mind; she would work at home, and Taranne had promised to come and advise her. Then she would have no time for handsome English boys. But till then? She took an anemone from a bunch David had brought her, and began to pluck off the petals, alternating 'yes' and 'no. The last petal fell to 'yes.
Taranne clearly could beat her down with a word, reduce her to tears with an unfavourable criticism; then he had but to hold up a finger, to say, 'Mademoiselle, you have worked well this week, your drawing shows improvement, I have hopes of you, to bring her to his feet with delight and gratitude. It was a monstrous power, this power of the master with his pupil! How could women submit to it?
'Let it alone! she said to him with a sudden imperious gesture. 'There is a whole paragraph about Breal her fortune is made. La voila lancee arrivee! And of me, not a line, not a mention! Three or four pupils of Taranne all beginners but my name nowhere! Ah, but no it is too much! Her little foot beat the ground, a hurricane was rising within her. David tried to laugh the matter off.

Had he been on foot he would certainly have entered the house; as it was, he slowly followed Mme. Blanche, who was going up the Rue Crenelle. She walked very quickly, and without turning her head, and kept her face persistently shrouded in a very thick veil. When she reached the Rue Taranne, she threw herself into one of the fiacres at the carriage-stand.
