After four years there, he sent them to Paris, Florent to Vaugirard, Lydia to the Rue de Varenne, and just at the time that he had realized the amount he considered requisite, when he was preparing to return to live near them in a country without prejudices, a stroke of apoplexy took him off suddenly.
The Prince would not have refused his pity to the lowest of human beings; and so, never mind what his sufferings might be, if his presence could do any good, he must obey the doctor. "When does Doctor Fargeas wish me to go?" "Whenever you choose. The doctor is just now at Vaugirard, on a visit to his colleague, and " "Do not let us keep him waiting!" Vogotzine's eyes brightened.
The task finished, the three returned to their usual position. John did not know what to expect. It might be a device of Papa Vaugirard to drag them out of a dangerous lethargy, but he did not think so. A kind heart dwelled in the body of the huge general, and he would not try them needlessly on a wild and sullen night.
Perhaps the Germans had driven him ahead of them, and he would rejoin the French at some distant point. The morning passed, slow and bright, but it did not bring Lannes. General Vaugirard himself came about noon, a huge purring man in a huge puffing automobile. He cast an approving eye over Bougainville's work, and puffing his cheeks still wider whistled a low, musical note.
She looked at him, understanding that he was speaking to her, as there was no one else there. For the third time the man said: "Vaugirard!" Then she asked: "Where are we?" He answered gruffly: "We're at Vaugirard, of course! I have been yelling it for the last half hour!" "Is it far from the Boulevard?" she said. "Which boulevard?" "The Boulevard des Italiens." "We passed that a long time ago!"
After her return to Maisons-Lafitte from Vaugirard, she would have killed herself if she had not so desired another interview where she could lay bare her heart. Not daring to appear before Andras, not even thinking of such a thing as seeking him, she resolved to wait some opportunity, some chance, she knew not what. Suddenly, she thought of Yanski Varhely.
I will call him Brother Albert, for his true name in religion is very well known. "I heard a curious story in the Vaugirard house," said the Brother Director, refreshing himself with a pinch of snuff, "which made the more impression upon me that I once knew intimately one of the persons in it. Martin Delette was my schoolmate at Pfalsbourg, in the old days. A fine, studious lad he was, too.
I found General Vaugirard, although he is now two or three miles to your right, and when I deliver a message that he has given me I return. But I take you with me now." John was overjoyed, but he would part from Bougainville with regret. "Philip," he said, "here is Pierre Louis Bougainville, whom I met that day on Montmartre.
Then John related the presence of Julie Lannes in Chastel and the manner of her capture by Auersperg. He told, too, why she had come there. General Vaugirard puffed out his huge cheeks and whistled a note or two. "I can't understand why Lannes should have wanted her to come to such an exposed place," he said. "But youth is daring and doesn't always count the risks."
"Lucien F. had already published several books which had aroused attention through the oddity of their themes, and their gratifying success had made it possible for him to establish himself in a comfortably furnished bachelor apartment on the corner of the rue de Vaugirard and the rue de Conde.
