The performance will be given only by people we know no professionals." The Princess had spoken quite quickly, without reflection. She blushed slightly when she remembered Esperance and Jean Perliez, but she had made the mistake and there was no way of calling it back. She thought that Esperance belonged to that circle where a compliment effaces what might seem like an impertinence.
"I know it not!" "Have you forgotten the man who took you from a wretched house at the time of your mother's death? This man was Sanselme, the former priest Sanselme, the former convict, and your father! And now, Vicomte, will you kill me? Do so, if you dare!" Jane fell back, fainting. "She is dead!" cried Esperance. "Ah! coward and assassin, I will have your life for this. Have you arms?
"You were just sixteen, Esperance, when your mother was taken from us, and your tears fell with mine, but you said to yourself: 'My father remains! But, my beloved son, something in that father died at that time, or rather, I should say that something was born his self-confidence vanished forever, and doubt took its place.
Esperance, who had never had any jewellery except a gold chain that her mother's aunt had left her and the little ring her father had given her for her first communion, found herself, in one day, possessor of two ornaments which the most fastidious worldling would not have disdained.
I am strong, and shall be there almost as soon as yourself." In a very few minutes they reached the hôtel, which Goutran opened with a key given him by Esperance. They entered the corridor that led to the rooms formerly occupied by Haydée. Esperance, with infinite precautions, laid Jane on the bed.
In the little group consisting of Zuleika, Valentine, M. Morrel and Espérance uncertainty prevailed for some moments. They had been unable to catch what old Solara had said, to glean more than a general idea that his testimony had been against Vampa. As soon, however, as his emotion permitted him to do so Giovanni went to them and communicated the glad tidings.
Espérance attempted to question Lorenzo further, but he only shook his head and declined to make any disclosures. He, however, stipulated that his sister should not be informed of what had occurred, urging that there was no necessity of uselessly alarming her. Alarming her? What could he mean?
He held the apple to the glorious Aphrodite, the picture turned, the rehearsal was over for Esperance. The Duke still had to take part in two other scenes. When Esperance was dressed she followed Maurice's advice to go join Genevieve and Albert. "What a relief," he exclaimed at sight of her, "I began to think it would never be over." "Yet we did not lose any time."
But now that calm was in a measure restored, Goutran thought of Carmen with quickened pulse. He no longer hesitated. He resolved to write to a millionaire uncle of his who spent his last days hunting wolves in the Ardennes, and beg him to come up and lay his proposal before the banker. He told Esperance what he meant to do, and the Vicomte encouraged the plan.
He was violently attracted by this charming little creature, with whom he admitted to himself that he was deeply in love; he, who up to this time had always avoided women as if he feared them. The telephonic communication was lengthy. Francois Darbois gave his consent to his daughter to attend the supper. Madame Darbois was distracted, and must find out what dress Esperance would wear.
