If we can come to an agreement about that railway stock we could share the profits, of course in due proportion and I'll allow you that on " "No, no," said Bixiou, "I want money in hand, and I must get those notes of Ravenouillet's cashed." "Ravenouillet is sound," said Vauvinet. "He puts money into the savings-bank; he is good security."
The young Hulots have bought up their father's notes of hand given to Vauvinet, and to-morrow they will endorse a bill for seventy-two thousand francs at five per cent, payable in three years, and secured by a mortgage on their house. So the young people are in straits for three years; they can raise no more money on that property. Victorin is dreadfully distressed; he understands his father.
This new bargain, like the first, was made in the name of Vauvinet, to whom the Baron signed notes of hand to the amount of twelve thousand francs. On the following day, the fateful police report, the husband's charge, the letters all the papers were destroyed. The scandalous promotion of Monsieur Marneffe, hardly heeded in the midst of the July fetes, was not commented on in any newspaper.
"Crown him! crown him!" cried Vauvinet. "Three groans for such a good dog! Hurrah for Brazil!" cried Lousteau. "So, my copper-colored Baron, it is our Valerie that you love; and you are not disgusted?" said Leon de Lora. "His remark is not parliamentary, but it is grand!" observed Massol.
In the first place, my pension of six thousand francs is pledged for four years, so I have nothing. That is not all. I shall be committed to prison within a few days in consequence of the bills held by Vauvinet. So I must keep out of the way until my son, to whom I will give full instructions, shall have bought in the bills. My disappearance will facilitate that.

"Paris has caught me!" thought Gazonal, now perceiving Jenny Cadine, and going up to her. "And I," said the actress, "what am I to have?" "All I possess," replied Gazonal, thinking that to offer all was to give nothing. Massol, Claude Vignon, du Tillet, Maxime de Trailles, Nucingen, du Bruel, Malaga, Monsieur and Madame Gaillard, Vauvinet, and a crowd of other personages now entered.
Vauvinet now signed his renunciation of any further claims, and it was still indispensable to find the pensioner before the arrears could be drawn. Thanks to Bianchon's care, the Baroness had recovered her health; and to this Josepha's good heart had contributed by a letter, of which the orthography betrayed the collaboration of the Duc d'Herouville.
"Poor fellow," said Vauvinet, "he was a great man! Magnificent! And what a figure, what a style, the air of Francis I.! What a volcano! and how full of ingenious ways of getting money! He must be looking for it now, wherever he is, and I make no doubt he extracts it even from the walls built of bones that you may see in the suburbs of Paris near the city gates "
"I have quarreled with my father-in-law, Monsieur Crevel, for having rescued your notes of hand for sixty thousand francs from Vauvinet, and that money is, beyond doubt, in Madame Marneffe's pocket.
