"Not Fanfaro Jacques," corrected the old woman. "But what should we do in Leigoutte, mother?" "The box Jacques Talizac the papers," the woman replied. And so we find Caillette and her patient, after weary wanderings, in Leigoutte. The young girl had sold, on the way, a gold cross, the only jewel she possessed, to pay the expenses of the journey.
With head erect Fanfaro strode toward the door and disappeared in company with the soldiers. Montferrand approached Talizac and hissed in his ear: "It might be doing you an honor, but if there is no other remedy I will fight a duel with you to rid the world of a scoundrel I await your seconds." "You shall pay for this," said the vicomte, "I will kill you."
"What is the meaning of this?" she asked. "I think that we have more serious things to think of than masquerading." "Come, do not speak before you know everything," replied the Zouave; and in a few words he told her the story of his disguise. "Where can Monsieur Sabran be?" asked Madame Caraman. "What!" exclaimed Coucou, "where is he then?" "I haven't seen him, nor Fanfaro, nor Bobichel since."
If I knew that Louison were dead I would thank God on my knees, but it is terrible to think that she is in the power of that scoundrel. The fact that Robeckal has a hand in the affair stamps it at once as a piece of villany." "Robeckal is the vicomte's accomplice?" cried Girdel, springing up. "Oh, Fanfaro, why did you not say so at once? We must not lose a minute! Ah, now I understand all!
Caillette, Fanfaro, and Bobichel went away; Girdel turned to his wife and pleasantly said: "Rolla, I will now help you down." Rolla looked at him sharply, and then said in a rough, rasping voice: "Didn't I call you, Robeckal? Come and help me down!" Robeckal, who had been observing the chickens in the courtyard, slowly approached the wagon. "What do you want?" he asked.
Let us go the same way, and perhaps we may find out where the vicomte is." "So be it," cried Fanfaro, "and then, in Heaven's name, forward!" Gontram had in the meanwhile sent a note with Coucou to Carmen. Each one of the three carried a three-armed bronze lamp, and the light they gave forth illuminated the marble steps of a staircase. Gontram was the first to reach the top stair.
"No! no!" cried the marquis, pale as death; "his blood will not fall upon me, but upon the devil who led me to do the dastardly deed." "His name?" asked Pierre. "Is Simon my steward! He advised me to poison Fanfaro, so that I could force you to give up the legacy. I acceded to his proposition, and he committed the deed."
"Well then, Monsieur Fanfaro," began Irene, with a mocking laugh, "why do you refuse to lend your master a helping hand?" "His master?" replied Girdel, with flaming eyes; "excuse me, mademoiselle, but you have been incorrectly informed." "Come, Papa Girdel," laughed Fanfaro, "I will tell the young lady my reasons, and I think you will approve of them.
The Zouave would willingly have died a thousand deaths if he only could have saved the life of his young master. The third day dawned, and Gontram and Fanfaro looked anxiously at each other. To-day the count must come. Toward evening the door was suddenly opened.
"You are right, Bobichel," said Fanfaro, and, pressing a kiss upon his mother's forehead, he ran off with Girdel and the clown. While Montferrand and Talizac were struggling, Robeckal slipped up to the door and winked to Louison. She hurried out and implored Robeckal to bring her out of this miserable house.
