"Come and make our rounds; I'll go to the right," said Beau-Pied. "Very good, I'll take the left," replied his comrade. "But stop one minute, I must have a glass of cider; my throat is glued together like the oiled-silk of Hulot's best hat."
"Well, at any rate, I have found you," said Lisbeth, taking Valerie's hand, "that is some consolation in this dreadful trouble. We shall be true friends; and why should we ever part? I shall never cross your track. No one will ever be in love with me! Those who would have married me, would only have done it to secure my Cousin Hulot's interest.
Madame Marneffe was to give a house-warming in her new apartment the day after becoming Hulot's mistress en titre, and after the marriage of the lovers. Who but has once in his life been a guest at a wedding-ball? Every reader can refer to his reminiscences, and will probably smile as he calls up the images of all that company in their Sunday-best faces as well as their finest frippery.
"I have always had a fear of being shot like a dog at the edge of a wood, without a chance of crying out 'Who goes there?" "Pooh!" said Merle, laughing, "'Who goes there' is all humbug." "Are we in any real danger?" asked Gerard, as much surprised by Hulot's coolness as he was by his evident alarm. "Hush!" said the commandant, in a low voice.
Then after a pause he added, pointing to the remains of Hulot's detachment, "If you had all fought as I did, not one of those Blues would have escaped, and the coach could have got here safely." "They'd never have thought of escorting it or holding it back if we had let them go by without a fight.
This was the beginning of the end of the beautiful Madame Hulot's home; and, it may be added, of her being totally neglected, as Hulot had solemnly promised Madame Marneffe.
Valerie sat down to talk to Hector. "You must leave, my dearest," said she in Hulot's ear. "Walk up and down the Rue Vanneau, and come in again when you see Crevel go out." "I would rather leave this room and go into your room through the dressing-room door. You could tell Reine to let me in." "Reine is upstairs attending to Lisbeth." "Well, suppose then I go up to Lisbeth's rooms?"
On his return Gudin found Hulot's little band increased in numbers by the arrival of several soldiers taken from the various posts in the town.
And by that Hulot's doing all this charm and purity has been degraded to a man-trap, a money-box for five-franc pieces! The girl is the Queen of Trollops; and nowadays she humbugs every one she who knew nothing, not even that word." At this stage the retired perfumer wiped his eyes, which were full of tears.
