This testimony does not say that the man who drew the curtains at a quarter past five was built in such a way that it is materially impossible to confound him with Florentin Cormier, because he was small or hunchbacked or bald, or dressed like a workman; while Florentin is tall, straight, with long hair and beard, and dressed like a gentleman.
"You see, Florentin," Madame Cormier interrupted, smiling at her son. But he shook his head. "However, the opinion of all has a value," Phillis cried. "Speak lower," Florentin said.
Of what good were these hypocrisies, and whom did they deceive? Although he had told Phillis repeatedly that an acquittal was certain, and that he had promised her he would do all he could for Florentin which he really did she did not give entirely into his hands, or into Nougarede's, the task of defending her brother, but worked with them in his defence.
"It seems to me that your combination rests, above all, on the 'coup de theatre' of the non-recognition of Florentin by Madame Dammauville. How will you bring this paralytic to court?" "I depend upon you." "And how?" "You will examine her." "I shall have to go to her house!" "Why not?" "Because I am not her doctor." "You will become so." "It is impossible."
At the commencement of the Rue de Florentin he encountered the brothers Vandemar walking arm in arm. "Ha, De Mauleon!" cried Enguerrand; "what is the last minute's news?" "I can't guess. Nobody knows at Paris how soon one folly swallows up another. Saturn here is always devouring one or other of his children."
"I reached his house about a quarter to three, and I left about half-past three." "Did he give you the certificate for which you asked?" "Yes; here it is." And, taking it from his pocket, he presented it to the judge. It was a paper saying that, during the time that M. Florentin Cormier was his clerk, Caffie was entirely satisfied with him; with his work, as with his accuracy and probity.
Again, if in the northern Cevennes the people are narrow in religious judgments, and more filled with zeal than charity, what was I to look for in this land of persecution and reprisal in a land where the tyranny of the Church produced the Camisard rebellion, and the terror of the Camisards threw the Catholic peasantry into legalised revolt upon the other side, so that Camisard and Florentin skulked for each other's lives among the mountains?
He related in detail the story of the bundle of papers placed on the highest shelf of the cases, his slipping on the ladder, and the loss of the button, which he did not discover until he was in the street. The judge opened a drawer and took from it a small box, from which he took a button that he handed to Florentin. "Is that it?" he asked. Florentin looked at it.
"They wrote to me," Florentin said, "and since my return they have told me how good you were to my mother. Permit me to thank you from a touched and grateful heart. I hope that before long this gratitude will be something more than a vain word." "Do not let us speak of that," Saniel said, looking at Phillis with a frankness and an open countenance that reassured heron a certain point.
How is it certain that this tall man, with long hair and curled beard, is not Florentin Cormier, since these are his chief characteristics?
