"'Tis he, 'tis that wretch " But he interrupted himself, and more gently: "Put away those bank-bills," said he to his wife, "and let Maxence take them back to M. de Thaller to-morrow." The bell rang violently. "The police!" groaned Mme. Desclavettes, who seemed on the point of fainting away. "I am going to negotiate," said M. Desormeaux. "Fly, Vincent: do not lose a minute."
"Mme. de Thaller cannot have correctly repeated my words to you, else you would not utter that word 'slander." "She has repeated them to me without the least change." "Then she cannot have told you the importance of the proofs I have in my hands." But the Baron persisted, as Mlle. Cesarine would have said, to "do it up in the tender style."
And no objection occurred to her, when, a few days later, her husband told her, "I have the situation I wanted. I am head cashier of the company of which M. de Thaller is manager." That was all. Of the nature of this society, of the advantages which it offered him, not one word. Only by the way in which he expressed himself did Mme.
Neither did the cashier of the Mutual Credit seem to have a very good opinion of Mademoiselle de Thaller.
Devil; that he will never see her again; and that he returns to live in Brittany, where he wishes, by the most rigid economy, to repair the breach he has just made in his fortune." "Thus end all these love-stories," said Mme. de Thaller in a jesting tone. "I beg your pardon: this one is not ended yet. For many years, my father kept his word, and never left our homestead of Tregars.
"Now quick, the address: Mme. la Baronne de Thaller, Rue de le Pepiniere." There are professions which extinguish, in those who exercise them, all curiosity. It is with the most complete indifference, and without asking a question, that the secretary had done what he had been requested.
Favoral appeared to me singularly calm for a man charged with embezzlement and forgery. M. de Thaller, as manager of the Mutual Credit, is really responsible for the stolen funds, and, as such, should have been anxious to secure the guilty party, and to produce him. Instead of that, he wished him to go, and actually brought him the money to enable him to leave.
If she had to select between the amiable Costeclar and a charcoal furnace, it is not the furnace she would take." At all times, Marius de Tregars disliked Mlle. Cesarine to a supreme degree; but at this moment, without the pressing desire he had to see the Baron and Baroness de Thaller, he would have withdrawn. "Believe me, mademoiselle," he uttered coldly.
"It is useless, for the reason that it is not he, the poor fool! who has carried off the twelve millions." "Who is it, then?" "M. le Baron de Thaller, no doubt." With that accent of pity which one takes to reply to an absurd proposition, "You are mad, my poor marquis," said Mme. de Thaller. "You do not think so." "But suppose I should refuse to do any thing more?"
"'And yet, I thought, 'had M. de Thaller happened to have ten thousand francs in his pockets he would have given them to me all the same. "I was at a loss to explain this strange generosity. Why his surprise when he first saw me, then his anger, and his haste to get rid of me?
