"My good little Goualeuse, since you have such a good acquaintance, I beg you will recommend my Louise and my Germain to him, for they do not deserve their fate," said Rigolette, thinking that her friends might gain by having two defenders instead of one. "Be tranquil; I promise you to do what I can for your proteges with M. Rudolph," said Fleur-de-Marie.
"Listen," said the Countess, "I want you to find me a girl of about seventeen, one who has lost her parents very early, of agreeable face, and a sweet temper." Screech-Owl showed her astonishment. "My little lady, have you forgotten La Goualeuse?" "I have nothing to do with her," said Lady Sarah impatiently. "But listen a moment.
"Yes I came I came to see some one," answered Fleur-de-Marie, stammering and blushing with shame. "And you are returning home, far from Paris, without doubt. Dear little Goualeuse, always good, I recognize you there.
It will also be remembered that after this conversation Jacques Ferrand, fearing the revelation of his criminal misdeeds, had determined that it was for his interest to put the Goualeuse out of the way, whose existence, once known, might compromise him dangerously.
"Your father will answer this question, my child; but shall you not be very happy to see him?" "Oh! yes, madame," answered Fleur-de-Marie, casting down her eyes. "How much you will love him, when you know him," said the marchioness. "From that day forward, a new life will commence for you, Marie," added the prince. "Oh! no, M. Rudolph," answered the Goualeuse, unaffectedly.
"Yes, my dear Marie," Clemence hastened to say, "your father is known he still lives." "My father!" cried the Goualeuse, with an outburst which put the composure of Rudolph to a new trial. "And some day," resumed Clemence, "very soon, perhaps, you will see him. What will doubtless surprise you very much is, that he is of high standing noble birth." "And my mother, madame-shall I see her?"
"That's it, there's my idea," cried the prisoner, joyfully; "that's it; I ought to be grateful to my companions, but I ought to pray to you, adore you, La Goualeuse, for it is you who have rendered them good to me, instead of being wicked as they were." "But, if I am good, as you say, Mont Saint Jean, it is God who has made me so; it is, then, He whom you must thank."
"It is a line from Madame George!" cried he, reading it rapidly. "Well, Goualeuse?" "No more doubt," cried Rudolph, after having read the letter; "another mysterious plot.
Enchanted at seeing her companion listen with curiosity, La Goualeuse continued, smiling: "And, then you see Madame Martial let me call you so, what do you care?" "On the contrary, it flatters me," said La Louve, shrugging her shoulders, but smiling. "What folly to play Madame! What children we are! Never mind, go on it is amusing. You said, then "
That fool of a notary whom I wanted to pluck I did threaten him, if he would not give me money, to inform that it was his housekeeper who gave me La Goualeuse, through Tournemine, when she was quite small; but nothing frightens him. He called me an old liar, and turned me out of doors.
