"Ah, here it is," he said, "listen: Palmyre Chocareille, born at Paris in 1840, daughter of James Chocareille, undertaker's assistant, and of Caroline Piedlent, his wife." Prosper looked vexed and impatient; he did not know that the judge was reading him this report to convince him that nothing can escape the police.
It was about the time that Raoul's fishing party, after a few days' mishaps, had returned home. Palmyre, on several later dates, had craved further audiences and shown other letters from the hidden f.m.c. She had heard them calmly, and steadfastly preserved the one attitude of refusal. But it could not escape Frowenfeld's notice that she encouraged the sending of additional letters.
"Call it so," responded M. Grandissime. "Have you heard at whose house this was?" "No, sir." "It was at the house of Palmyre Philosophe." "Palmyre Philosophe!" exclaimed Aurora, in low astonishment. Clotilde let slip, in a tone of indignant incredulity, a soft "Ah!"
But I must tell you how the rascals tried to shut up, 'administratively, you understand, Mlle. Palmyre. Fortunately you had anticipated something of the kind, and given orders to watch over her safety. But for you, she would now be in prison." Joseph looked up to the ceiling by way of trying to remember something more. Finding nothing there, he said: "That is all.
"The English is very faulty here," he said, without looking up. "He mentions Bras-Coupé." Palmyre started and turned toward him; but he went on without lifting his eyes. "He speaks of your old pride and affection toward him as one who with your aid might have been a leader and deliverer of his people." Frowenfeld looked up. "Do you under "
He merely lay still under it with a fixed frown; but once some incautious tongue dropped the name of Agricola. The black man's eyes came so quickly round to Palmyre that she thought he would speak; but no; his words were all in his eyes. She answered their gleam with a fierce affirmative glance, whereupon he slowly bent his head and spat upon the floor.
Leave it all to me and your hat with Palmyre, take a febrifuge and a nap, and await word from me." "And may I offer you no help in your difficulty?" asked the apothecary, as the two rose and grasped hands. "Oh!" said the Creole, with a little shrug, "you may do anything you can which will be nothing."
"I suppose you are incapabl'," said Aurora, following her double meaning with that combination of mischievous eyes and unsmiling face of which she was master. She resumed her seat, adding: "It is generous for you to admit that Palmyre has suffered wrongs." "It would be," he replied, "to attempt to repair them, seeing that I am not responsible for them, but this I cannot claim yet to have done.
The master fell back upon his pillow with a groan of helpless wrath. The African pointed his finger through the open window. "May its fields not know the plough nor nourish the herds that overrun it." The domestics, who had thus far stood their ground, suddenly rushed from the room like stampeded cattle, and at that moment appeared Palmyre. "Speak to him," faintly cried the panting invalid.
"I know better," thought the philosophe. "You shall have the sort you want." The widow stole an upward glance. "Oh!" said Palmyre, with the manner of one making a decided digression, "I have been wanting to ask you something. That evening at the pharmacy was there a tall, handsome gentleman standing by the counter?" "He was standing on the other side." "Did you see his face?"
