Thus, in this direction, at least, every thing was going well. Quite elated by this first success, M. Folgat put a thousand-franc note into an envelope, directed it as desired, and sent it at once to the post-office.
The Baron took all the thousand-franc notes out of his private cash-box a sum sufficient to make the whole village happy, fifty-five thousand francs and stuffed them into the pocket of his coat. But a millionaire's lavishness can only be compared with his eagerness for gain.
Thus, when I urged him not to place large wagers in the pesage, his whispered reply was strange and simple "Watch me!" This he conclusively said as he deposited another thousand-franc note, which, within a few moments, accrued to the French government.
But here," he whispered into her ear, as he gave her a thousand-franc note, "take this it is between ourselves. You will forgive me, I trust, mademoiselle," he added, turning to Emilie. "You will kindly excuse the tyranny of business matters."
"I have also to ask you for five thousand francs for my friend Peyrade, who has dropped five of your thousand-franc notes a tiresome accident," Corentin went on, in a lordly tone of command. "Peyrade knows his Paris too well to spend money in advertising, and he trusts entirely to you.

For a month it was necessary, in order to obtain it, to apply at the Mairie of the Arrondissement, and to stand for hours in a queue. Other money could be had only from the bankers in thousand-franc notes.
Could it be that he knew the assassin or or was he the assassin? Wondering thus, M. Paul opened the tendered envelope and saw that it contained a bundle of thousand-franc notes. "There is a large sum here," he remarked. "Fifty thousand francs. It's for you, and as much more will be handed you the day you sail for Brazil. Just a moment let me finish.
Here's a thousand-franc note for you. Only, if you blab, I'll make you repent it. That's all I have to say to you." He turned to Davanne, whose machine was beginning to block the traffic, and asked: "Can we start?" "Whenever you like. Where are we going?" Paying no attention to the movements of the people coming from every side, Don Luis unfolded his map of France and spread it out before him.
Esther, my jewel," said he to the terrified girl, "I have secured as your waiting-maid a creature who is as much mine as if she were my daughter.
