What do you really think, you magistrates?" she added, plunging a fixed look into the eyes of the procureur-general. "We think that the woman belongs to the bourgeois or the commercial class." "I don't agree with you," said Madame Graslin. "A woman of that class does not have elevated sentiments."

This Procureur-General was at the time M. de Royer, who had been keeper of the Seals for M. Bonaparte. Thence a new difficulty and a long debate. Would M. de Royer consent? M. Hardouin undertook to go and make the offer to him. He had only to cross the Mercière Gallery. M. de Royer was in his study. The proposal greatly embarrassed him. He remained speechless from the shock.
Do you not see, in the very coming of the procureur-general, a command from heaven echoing the voice in my own soul which cries to me: Confess!"
