"Are you not going to the burial service of these little babies?" she asked. Her trembling voice betrayed her emotion. "Why should I go?" asked M. Vulfran. "Because that would be the most dignified answer you could give to what that poor woman said." "Did my work people come to the burial service of my son?" asked M. Vulfran, coldly.
Using large glass doors, the architect had cleverly made his plans so that from the first room the mothers could see all that went on in the other rooms where they were not allowed to enter. In the nursery the children sprang forward and jumped upon Perrine, showing her the playthings that they had in their hands. "I see that you are known here," said M. Vulfran. "Known!" replied Mlle.
Talouel hurried forward to meet the telegraph boy. "Say, you don't hurry yourself, do you?" he cried. "Do you want me to kill myself?" asked the boy, insolently. He hurried with the message to M. Vulfran's office. "Shall I open it, sir?" he asked eagerly. "Yes, do," said M. Vulfran. "Oh, it is in English," replied Talouel, as he looked at the missive.
So he usually began with these words, "I suppose that you want...." He had the subtlety of the peasant, always on the alert, and his quality for spying made him stop at nothing to get the information he desired. M. Vulfran usually made the same reply when Talouel had "supposed" something. "Exactly," the blind man would say.
But M. Edmond wouldn't part with the wife he's got over there to take up with the young lady here, so the quarrel got worse and worse, and now they don't even know if the son is dead or alive. They haven't had news of him for years, so they say. Monsieur Vulfran doesn't speak to anyone about it, neither do the two nephews." "Oh, he has nephews?"
He also appeared to be in a somewhat excited state. He gave a look at Perrine which made her feel uneasy without knowing why. "I got your telegram," said M. Vulfran, "but it was so vague. I want to be sure. Speak out." "Shall I speak before mademoiselle?" asked Fabry, glancing at Perrine. "Yes, if it is as you say." It was the first time that Fabry had asked if he could speak before Perrine.
When the fire began to flare up some of the children got out, and La Tiburce woke up. She is so drunk she got out herself but left the little ones in the cradle." The sound of cries and loud talking could be heard in the yard. M. Vulfran wanted to go in. "Don't go in there, sir," said Fabry. "The mothers whose two children were suffocated are carrying on pretty badly." "Who are they?"
Then, as he was not the sort of man to waste time in regrets, he said to Perrine: "Write two cables, one to M. Leserre in French and one to Father Makerness in English." She quickly wrote the cable that she had to translate into English, but she asked if she could get a dictionary from Bendit's office before she did the one in French. "Are you not sure of your spelling?" asked M. Vulfran.
"Tell your grandmother to come and speak to me," said the gentleman. Rosalie ran to the house and came hurrying back with her grandmother. "Good day, Monsieur Vulfran," said the old woman. "Good day, Françoise." "What can I do for you, sir; I'm at your service." "I've come about your brother Omer. I've just come from his place.
"I am not accustomed to being afraid," she said, with a wan little smile flitting across her beautiful face. "You are speaking of that cabin in the valley there a little to the side of the road to Saint-Pipoy, on the left, are you not?" asked Monsieur Vulfran. "Yes, Monsieur." "That belongs to me and my nephews use it. Was it there that you slept?"
