I finally persuaded the drayman to show me the hunchback's tavern, and promised to come back and wrestle after I had found him; to which the stake-holder agreed, but all the rest refused to consent, and the money was given back to the subscribers.

At about five hours after noon he fell back on the hunchback's knees; he had ceased to suffer.
Pina was not so sure about the piety of the Bravi and their servant, and as she nibbled her last bit of bread, she looked thoughtfully across the clothless deal table at the hunchback's trusting and spiritual face.
An old woman, with a mild and friendly countenance, who had been, by express desire of Adrienne, attached to the hunchback's service, entered the room and said to her: "Mademoiselle, a young man wishes to speak to you on pressing business. He gives his name as Agricola Baudoin."
Cocardasse and Passepoil looked horrified at the hunchback's impertinence, but Lagardere did not seem to be vexed, and answered, quite amiably: "So did I till lately."

The hunchback's faculties recovering slowly from their stupor, she at first received this fable without the least suspicion for she did not even know that Agricola had accompanied Mdlle. de Cardoville.
The hunchback drolled at him: "She will not need your championship. She will accept with joy the hunchback's hand." Chavernay shook his head scornfully. "That will never happen." The hunchback answered him, coolly: "That will happen, Monsieur de Chavernay." At that moment the door opposite to the antechamber opened, and the figure of a fair girl appeared.
