Having read with deep interest the works of Vinet, she was seized with a desire to study on the spot the religious movement in Protestant Switzerland called forth by the "Free Church," of which that eloquent divine was the founder. In the summer of 1856 she accordingly visited Switzerland.
Once in the Chamber I shall rise to power, and I will make your brother a receiver-general. Now swear to me, before I say more, that you will never repeat what I tell you." "Ah!" exclaimed Sylvie. "If it had not been for the embarrassments this vice has brought upon him, he might have been a marshal of France," continued Vinet.
The deputy-judge and archaeologist Desfondrilles belonged to neither party. With other independents like him, he repeated what he heard on both sides and Vinet made the most of it.
Your Romilly peasant-woman might have her hands full of proofs, but she has no ground herself to stand upon; she has no legal interest in contesting the rights of this recognized natural son." "Yes, that is what Vinet said just now." "As for the criminal case, you could, no doubt, compel it by giving information to the police authorities of this alleged imposture "
At that moment it occurred to young Vinet as he looked round the salon, so full of the lesser bourgeoisie, that it might be a shrewd thing to magnify that particular class; and he thereupon enlarged upon the meaning of the young Provencal barrister, declaring that men so honored by the confidence of the government should imitate royalty and encourage a magnificence surpassing that of the former court.
"A criminal charge!" cried Rogron, who had come into the room. "Why? What for?" "First of all," said the lawyer, looking at Sylvie, "explain to me without concealment and as if you stood before God, what happened in this house last night they talk of amputating Pierrette's hand." Sylvie turned livid and shuddered. "Then there is some truth in it?" said Vinet.
"For the use of all future sub-prefects," added Olivier Vinet. "How can you do it?" asked Madame Mollot. "Oh!" replied the sub-prefect, "ask Mademoiselle Beauvisage whom she would accept as her husband among all of us here present; she will not answer. Allow me the same discretion.
But now my barony is like the grade of general which I held in 1815, it needs a revolution to give it back to me." "If you will secure my endorsement by a mortgage," said Rogron, answering Vinet after long consideration, "I will give it." "That can easily be arranged," said Vinet.
In place of the former Vinet, pale and thin, snarling and gloomy, the present Vinet bore himself with the air and manner of a man of importance; he marched boldly forward, certain of success, with that peculiar show of security which belongs to lawyers who know the hidden places of the law.
The Chargeboeuf ladies dined with the Rogrons, for the contract was to be signed that evening. Vinet had had the banns posted at the mayor's office in the afternoon. He made light of the Pierrette affair. If the Provins court was prejudiced, the Royal courts would appreciate the facts, he said, and the Auffrays would think twice before they flung themselves into such a suit.
