In the name of my family, I feel bound to ask your pardon for both of them." "I repeat, Madame, that I do not understand you." "But it is impossible, my child come! it is impossible that all this time you have suspected nothing." "I suspect nothing, Madame," said Madame de Camors, "because I know all." "Ah!" continued Madame de la Roche-Jugan, dryly; "if this be so, I have nothing to say.
Cashmeres, laces, velvets, silks of the finest quality, covered the chairs. On the chimneypiece, the tables, and the consoles, were strewn the jewel-cases. While Madame de la Roche-Jugan was exhibiting to Camors these magnificent things of which she failed not to give him the prices Charlotte, who had been notified of the Count's presence, entered the salon.
You will greatly oblige me!" "Certainly, General, I shall do so." "For my part, I love her like a fool." "That is only right, General!" "Hum and what of Des Rameures?" "I think we shall agree, General!" "Bravo! we shall talk more of this later. Go and see her, my dear child!" Camors proceeded to the Rue St. Dominique, where Madame de la Roche-Jugan resided.
Consequently he was hunted by an eager pack of cousins and relatives; and Madame de la Roche-Jugan and the Baroness Tonnelier gave tongue in their foremost rank. Camors was indifferent, and had, since that event, been particularly reserved in his intercourse with the General.
Madame de Camors contented herself with not liking her aunt, but Madame de la Roche-Jugan hated her niece. She found a good occasion to prove this, and did not lose it. They had not seen each other since the General's death. This event, which should have caused Madame de la Roche-Jugan to reproach herself, had simply exasperated her. Her bad action had recoiled upon herself.
In the midst of these honorable conflicts one person, who took no part in them, attracted the greatest share of Camors's interest; first for her beauty and afterward for her qualities. This was an orphan of excellent family, but very poor, of whom Madame de la Roche-Jugan and Madame Tonnelier had taken joint charge.
Dominique, and an hour later Madame de la Roche-Jugan had the pleasure of knowing all that he knew of the liaison between the Count and the Marquise. But we remember that he knew everything. These revelations, though not unexpected, terrified Madame de la Roche-Jugan, who saw her maternal projects destroyed forever.
Madame de la Roche-Jugan, who watched her closely, as one watching a prey, testified, herself, in her favor; and judged her more and more worthy of her son.
Madame de Campvallon destroyed, M. de Camors set aside, the General would be alone in the world; and it was natural to suppose he would turn to his young relative Sigismund, if only to recognize the far-sighted affection and wounded heart of Madame de la Roche-Jugan.
