All fell upon Chamillart, who was accused, among other things, of matters that concerned Desmarets, on whom, he finished by turning off the King's anger. Chamillart defended himself with so much anger that his voice was heard by people outside. But he had of late heaped fault on fault.
It was agreed, therefore, that Desmarets should invite Bernard to dinner should walk with him and that the King should come and disturb them as I have related.
The King observed to Desmarets that he was very glad to see him with M. Bernard; then immediately said to this latter: "You are just the man never to have seen Marly come and see it now; I will give you up afterwards to Desmarets."
That same night, Lanoë conducted d'Aché two leagues from La Bijude and left him on the road to Arjentan. Here is a new landmark: on November 26th, Veyrat, the inspector of police, hastily informed Desmarets that d'Aché, whom they had been seeking for two years, had arrived the night before in Paris, getting out of the coach from Rennes in the company of a man named Durand.
The younger Margrave of Anspach was also in love with her. This son is called the Chevalier d'Orleans. The other, who is now about eighteen years old, is an Abbe; he is the son of La Florence, a dancer at the Opera House. The daughter is by Desmarets, the actress.
Bernard was the dupe of this scheme; he returned from his walk with the King enchanted to such an extent that he said he would prefer ruining himself rather than leave in embarrassment a Prince who had just treated him so graciously, and whose eulogiums he uttered with enthusiasm! Desmarets profited by this trick immediately, and drew much more from it than he had proposed to himself..
After the King had been thus satisfied by his confessor, no time was lost in establishing the tax. On Tuesday, the 30th of September, Desmarets entered the Finance Council with the necessary edict in his bag.
The King observed to Desmarets that he was very glad to see him with M. Bernard; then immediately said to this latter: "You are just the man never to have seen Marly come and see it now; I will give you up afterwards to Desmarets."
Monsieur Desmarets looked about him in search of his antagonist. "Yes! that is really he," said the vidame, motioning to a man who was sitting in an arm-chair beside the fire. "Who is it? Jules?" said the dying man in a broken voice. Auguste had lost the only faculty that makes us live memory. Jules Desmarets recoiled with horror at this sight.
Besides his life, Desmarets had promised him the sum of 80,000 francs to pay his debts with, but as they were in no hurry to hand him the money, his creditors lost patience and had him shut up in Sainte-Pelagie. Desmarets at last decided to pay up, and Querelle was sent to Piémont, where he lived on a small pension from the government.
