In a half-opened table-drawer she found a pawnbroker's ticket for the old servant's watch which he had pledged some days before. She ran to the laboratory and found it filled with scientific instruments, the same as ever. Then she returned to her own appartement and ordered the door to be broken open her father had respected it! Marguerite burst into tears and forgave her father all.

"I hope I'm not juggled out of five thousand francs," thought Birotteau. "Cayron always seemed to do a good business," said Lourdois, who just then came in to bring his bill.
The dining-room, hung with a yellow paper covered with little green flowers, and floored with tiles that were not glazed, contained nothing that was not strictly necessary, namely, a table, two sideboards, and six chairs, brought from the other appartement. The salon was adorned with an Aubusson carpet given to Bridau when the ministry of the interior was refurnished.
