To get rid of Joseph, who expended large sums at Mortfontaine, as Lucien did at Neuilly, he gave M. Collot the contract for victualling the navy, on the condition of his paying Joseph 1,600,000 francs a year out of his profits. I believe this arrangement answered Joseph's purpose very well; but it was anything but advantageous to M. Collot.
Surprised by this proof of intuition, Pierre repeated his story. "Yes, his wrist is injured but oh! it's not a case of immediate gravity." On the part of the three sons, he had divined a sudden quiver, an impulse of their whole beings to rush to the help and defence of their father.

He thought of his old life in France, of two Napoleons that he had seen, and of the time when, at Neuilly, a famous general burst into his father's house, and, with streaming tears, cried: "He is dead he is dead at St. Helena Napoleon! Oh, Napoleon!" A chapter from Isaiah came to the Cure's mind. He brought out his Bible from the house, and, walking up and down, read aloud certain passages.

Upon one occasion he invited Napoleon, and all the inmates of Malmaison, to attend some private theatricals at his dwelling. Lucien and Eliza were the performers in a piece called Alzire.
