Table of contents

The latter had lowered her usually trumpet like voice, and was softly saying: "It is simply impos- sible. The baron again refused, yesterday, to give me some money which I asked him for my dressmaker, and he is in a horrid humour this morning. If that were not the case, believe me — " " Hush! And, indeed, M. Brossin was coming towards them with two serious- looking individuals, who appeared to be men of business, and his gloomy face presaged a bad reception for any one who might venture to ask him for money.

Vergoncey, no doubt, thought the moment unfavourable for coming forward, for bowing to the baroness, he slipped away, and joined Alfred, who was fluttering about Mademoiselle Argentine's victoria. The banker's son and heir did not appear to be in much better spirits than his papa, and he was plainly but little interested in his conversation with the damsel, for, as soon as he caught sight of Vergoncey, he relinquished " spooning," and ran towards him. This question was curt, but his look spoke volumes, and one did not need to be a reader of faces to guess all the importance which young Brossin attached to his friend's reply.

It is impossible that he should be absent from the last of the spring races," gravely answered the handsome Theodore, who had always professed the utmost veneration for the elegant Noridet. He also was of opinion that Noridet must have re- turned, and before his eyes, which stared vacantly at the imperial stand, he saw the forged signature dance by in letters of flame. However, like a genuine dandy of the time, M.

Brossin, the younger, disliked gloomy thoughts, and so, after a moment's meditation, he snapped his fingers and spoke these remarkable words : " Well, I really shouldn't be a smart fellow if I didn't get out of this scrape ; and I am a smart fellow. I am as thirsty as a wolf," exclaimed Alfred ; " let us go to the drmking-stand, and wet our whistles with a bottle of champagne. On the way, however, Alfred suddenly started, as though he had trodden upon a snake. He found himself just in front of the Rue Vanneau money-lender.

The usurer looked the same as usual. He had the same carefully shaven face, the same equivocal smile, and the same robust figure. But the blue spectacles, with which he hid his piercing eyes, were now provided witli side-pieces, and his square-cut chin was buried in a huge white cravat, while on his head he carried a broad-brimmed hat, brought down care- fully over his forehead. The rest of his costume comprised a long over- coat with countless pockets, trousers of an undecided tint, and big, square- toed shoes.

He looked exactly like a Jew pedlar. Alfred, apart from the serious reasons which made him wish to avoid such a meeting, did not care to be seen talking to such a vulgar-looking man at the races. Mademoiselle Argentine might espy him, and if any member of the Gnat Club came by, Alfred, dandy as he was, would be convicted of knowing "common people. Manager, settling his spectacles with a gesture familiar to all men of his calling. No, no, of course not. Such a signature is as good as bullion ; and I was writing only yesterday to my patrons to tell them that I had never sent them anything safer than your bill.

These worthy folks don't understand anything about business. Ah, if they had only worked with your father, now! But no, they only understand interest at ten per cent, and payment on presentation. Narrow minds, my dear sir — narrow minds! They have a mania for being paid on the very day.

It is mere prejudice — routine — for money is made to make money, and it does make money when you renew ; but these gentlemen have their own way of looking at things, and they are very much behind the times, I must confess it. Ah, that's not my way of looking at business ; and if I were the master — " " You would advance me the money? Vergoncey stood beside his friend, but, so far, he had said nothing. When he saw that young Brossin was out of countenance, however, he thought that the time had come for intervening.

With five per cent more and a good commission, they would give a renewal of three months, I'm sure. I am a landowner in the Gatinais. Youi correspondents have only to make inquiries in the department where my estate lies. Vergoncey the elder had been a mere factotum. So Alfred's auxiliary was reduced to silence, and deemed it prudent to say no more.

Menager, " that I was delighted at having so punctual a person as yourself to deal with. I shall telegraph to-morrow to my people that the thirty-five thousand francs will be paid before noon, and I am sure that, at the earliest opportunity, they will be only too. However, the usurer now took his leave. He dragged Vergoncey to the refreshment tent in hot haste, and did not even see Menager get into a cab which was wait- ing for him on the sward at a hundred paces or so from the line of carriages.

And, without looking at Vergoncey, who had been visibly disturbed by the usurer's words, young Brossin darted like a whirlwind into the tent where a crowd of persons of both sexes were already eating and drinking.

He im- mediately ordered a bottle of champagne, and began to drain glass after glass. Young Brossin was not mistaken as to the girl's good looks. It would have been difficult to find a more charming face than hers. She was mix- ing a glass of currant-syrup, and did not notice the bystanders, but Alfred was merely timid with his creditors, and so, without more ado, he walked up to this young girl. The bell had just rung to announce a new race and almost all the inmates of the tent were hurrying towards the course.

I don't know you, :; rejoined the young girl, curtly. This is really funny, really funny, I must say! Vergoncey, who was by no means partial to disturbances, pulled his friend by the sleeve to get him away, but the noise of the quarrel had attracted some persons who had lingered near the counter, and a circle had already formed around the two adversaries.

The young girl who had been the occasion of the quarrel had caught hold of the arm of her defender, and was trying to calm him, but she did not appear to be very successful. Unfor- tunately for Alfred, who had intended to depart quietly, two members of his club were among the bystanders. The thought that they were looking on lent him a little courage, and he felt the necessity for putting on a lofty air.

As usual in such cases, several bystanders intervened and no blows en- sued. Alfred, screened by one or two fellows of his own set, continued playing his part however. To-morrow, I shall be your man, Monsieur Brossin, junior! The young girl, whom the new-comer had so energetically protected, fainted away, and a reaction took placeamongthe bystanders, some of whomhad held Fortoto back.

Nine times out of ten the man in the right is the one that the crowd takes sides against. It would have been better for Alfred had he now retired, but he was seized with the unlucky idea of keeping up his blustering. Imagine anyone being named Fortoto! Could anybody fight with a man named Fortoto? Everything showed he was a man accustomed to good society. Tall, slender, and of light complexion, his attire as well as his demeanour was that of a man of the world. Alfred had at once recognised him, for he stammered piteously : " You, Monsieur de Monville!

  • Yes, I will fight — certainly — of course — only too happy — but why? I don't understand you. And turning his back upon the members ot the Gnat Club, who were in a state of amazement, he approached Fortoco, who still stood beside the frightened girl. Yergoneey now dragged his terrified friend away, and they left the tent, followed by two club men, who were greatly scandalized by the cowardly behaviour ot their fellow member.

    Brossin was usually a firm patron of the weighing- stand, and he could not have isolated himself in this way without serious reasons. He had left the two grave-looking persons with whom he had previously approached the baroness's landau, and he was now walking about with an old man, leaning upon his arm and talking with great anima- tion. This person was short and stout, with a cunning face, and though his hair was quite white his look was anything but venerable. And yet his attire, manners, and general appearance were those of a clerk ; in fact, it was not necessary to be very observing to guess that the baron was condescending to walk about with his cashier or head accountant.

    • My signature has never even been discussed, and my credit must still be good, for no one knows — " " I think, on the contrary, that everybody does know something. Why, yesterday, there was a talk on 'Change that you were ruined. An unlicensed broker told it to a cashier who repeated it to our messenger? Where did he get hold of it? That is more than I can tell you. That was undoubtedly a useful journey, but a man cannot go to Chantilly and manage a bank in Paris at the same time.

      You wouldn't do so. I haven't come to that, I presume. Brossin, with a careless air, which did not agree with his anxious face. I have my house on the Boulevard Haussmann, and my estate in Normandy, which are worth a great deal more than the amount which I had in hand when I arrived in Paris.
