Had she, now that I was known to her as La Tournoire, ceased to entertain for me those feelings which she had, on account of our difference in religion, sought by an immediate separation to destroy? This was unlikely. La Tournoire or De Launay, I was the same man.
I spoke then of your making La Tournoire your refuge for an indefinite time, the rest of your life, if need be: I speak now of your staying there only till your safe residence at the convent can be assured, only a few months, or weeks." Though I had begun and ended by speaking of the convent, I did so merely with the object of inducing her to go to La Tournoire.
I have done nothing for you, but if I had done much I should have been repaid already in the acquaintance of Monsieur de la Tournoire." "A truce to flattery," said my father. "It is I who am the gainer by the acquaintance of Monsieur Brignan de Brignan." "Eh! Brignan de Brignan!" I echoed. "That is this gentleman's name," said my father, wondering at my surprise.
"What man but La Tournoire would risk his life by declaring himself to be that proscribed gentleman?" "One of his followers might do so, if he thought that he might so throw an enemy off La Tournoire's track."
