"Oh! they quarreled." "Then La Fosseuse is the last?" "Oh! mon Dieu! yes; the king is mad about her." "But what does the queen say?" "She carries her griefs to the foot of the crucifix," said the priest. "Besides," said the officer, "she is ignorant of all these things." "That is not possible," said Chicot. "Why so?" "Because Nerac is not so large that it is easy to hide things there."
Genestas saw that a kitchen lay on the other side of the passage, and that the staircase was at the further end of it. The upper story, like the ground floor, evidently consisted of two rooms only. "Come, do not be frightened," Benassis was saying to La Fosseuse; "come down-stairs!"
At the sight of all this, the commandant could not help looking enviously at the little house and the green sward about it, and watched the peasant girl with an air that expressed both his doubts and his hopes. Then his eyes fell on Adrien, with whom La Fosseuse was deliberately busying herself, and handing him the eggs.
We were no sooner there than Fosseuse persuaded the King my husband to make a journey to the waters of Aigues-Caudes, in Bearn, perhaps with a design to rid herself of her burden there. I begged the King my husband to excuse my accompanying him, as, since the affront that I had received at Pau, I had made a vow never to set foot in Bearn until the Catholic religion was reestablished there.
"It is not mine at all, sir," she said, looking at the stranger, and her eyes seemed to grow red and tearful; "it belongs to M. Benassis," and she turned towards the doctor with a gentle expression on her face. "You know quite well, my child, that you will never have to leave it," he said, as he took her hand in his. La Fosseuse suddenly rose and left the room.
"You see I have returned whole." "Yes; then let me hear of your arrival in Navarre. What was Henri doing when you arrived?" "Making love." "To Margot?" "Oh! no." "It would have astonished me had it been so; he is always unfaithful to his wife the rascal! Unfaithful to a daughter of France! Luckily, she pays him back. And when you arrived, what was the name of Margot's rival?" "Fosseuse."
A charitable neighbor took the care of the baby upon herself, and brought her up till she was nine years old. Then the burden of supporting La Fosseuse became too heavy for the good woman; so at the time of year when travelers are passing along the roads, she sent her charge to beg for her living upon the highways.
Sometimes we took a walk in the park on the banks of the river, bordered by an avenue of trees three thousand yards in length. The rest of the day was passed in innocent amusements; and in the afternoon, or at night, we commonly had a ball. The King was very assiduous with Fosseuse, who, being dependent on me, kept herself within the strict bounds of honour and virtue.
It is impossible to do otherwise than believe in a future life at the sight of natures thus predestined to suffer. La Fosseuse is sensitive and highly strung.
La Fosseuse drew her bodkin from the knot of her hair, and having traced the outline of a small whisker, with the blunt end of it, upon one side of her upper lip, put in into La Rebours' hand La Rebours shook her head. The Lady Baussiere coughed thrice into the inside of her muff La Guyol smiled Fy, said the Lady Baussiere.
