This will contains a very important disposition in your favour. TARDIVEL, Notary. Pécuchet was obliged to sit down on a boundary-stone in the courtyard outside the office. Then he returned the paper, saying slowly: "Provided that this is not some practical joke." "You think it is a farce!" replied Bouvard, in a stifled voice like the rattling in the throat of a dying man.
Bouvard showed him the following lines: OFFICE OF MAÎTRE TARDIVEL, NOTARY. Savigny-en-Septaine, 14th January, 1839. SIR, I beg of you to call at my office in order to take notice there of the will of your natural father, M. François-Denys-Bartholomée Bouvard, ex-merchant in the town of Nantes, who died in this parish on the 10th of the present month.
The eldest of the brothers, M. Étienne, had announced that he would respect the will. Bouvard fell into a kind of stupefied condition. He kept repeating in a low tone, smiling with the peaceful smile of drunkards: "An income of fifteen thousand livres!" and Pécuchet, whose head, however, was stronger, was not able to get over it. They were rudely shaken by a letter from Tardivel.
