Robeckal abducted the poor child and brought it to Rolla. I know they are both in Paris, and I will move heaven and earth to find them!" "May God reward you, Papa Girdel," said Fanfaro, with deep emotion. "I will in the meantime try to find the invalid with whom the street-singer lives, and " "Is there nothing for Bobichel to do?" asked the clown, sitting up in his bed.
"I had a brother once," she said, pensively; "he was a few years older than I, and did everything to please me, but it is long ago since I saw Jacques many, many years." "Jacques and Fanfaro are identical," replied Irene, softly. She had been told this by her cousin Arthur, who took a great interest in the brother and sister. "Fanfaro," repeated Louison, pensively. "Ah! now I know who this man is.
Fanfaro, who only thought that the horse had run away with the marquis, cried in vain to the rider, and so he had to foot the distance, muttering as he went: "If the poor fellow only doesn't get hurt; he is still feeble, and the horse needs a competent rider." Fanfaro was hardly a hundred feet away from Sainte-Ame, when Girdel opened his eyes and looked about him.
"Bobi, just in time," he breathlessly cried, "five minutes more and Fanfaro would have been done for." Girdel's further arrangements were made with the utmost prudence. Irene de Salves had given him unlimited credit, and the well-known proverb that a golden key opens all doors was conclusively proved in this particular case.
"He could have lived to a hundred years," said the physician, as he beat Fanfaro's breast, and his colleagues agreed with him. Fanfaro lay like a marble statue upon the table; the dark locks covered the pale forehead, and a painful expression lay over the firmly closed lips. Did the poor fellow suspect that he would become a victim of science and be delivered over to the knife?
They seldom had an opportunity of seeing anything like this, for very few travelling shows ever visited the small Lorraine village; and with almost childish joy the spectators gazed at Bobichel, Fanfaro, and Girdel, who were engaged in erecting the booth. The work went on briskly.
Girdel and Fanfaro were at the edge of the roof, and now the young man bent down and swung something his pursuers could not make out. "Surrender!" cried the inspector, holding himself on a chimney. Fanfaro now rose upright. He made a jump and the next minute he was on the neighboring roof.
Caillette, too, had noticed the young lady address Fanfaro, and she became violently jealous. What business had the rich heiress with the young man, whom she was accustomed to look upon as her own property? For Caillette, as well as Madame Ursula, it was fortunate that they had not heard Fanfaro's words, and yet it was only good advice which the young man had given Irene.
Still the brain of the sick woman could not grasp all the new impressions she had received, and although she looked again and again at Fanfaro, she left the question unanswered. At any other time Fanfaro would have left the sick woman alone, but his anxiety about Louison gave him no peace.
"Say that it was a joke, my lord, or a misunderstanding. You did not kill him!" "And why not?" asked the nobleman. "Yes, I got rid of him; I hired the murderer, who freed me of him! Ha! ha! ha! I knew who Fanfaro was I recognized him immediately on account of his resemblance to my father and my brother, and as he stood in my way I got rid of him by means of poison! What are you staring at?
