Well, did I not take you from the pavements of the Palais-Royal?" The countess turned pale. Seeing her color fade beneath her rouge, the old soldier, sorry for the suffering he was inflicting on a woman he had once loved ardently, stopped short; but she gave him such a venomous look that he suddenly added, " You were with--" "For heaven's sake, monsieur," said the countess, appealing to the lawyer, " allow me to leave this place.

When he returned to his own room he found the colonel walking up and down in a paroxysm of rage. "In those days men took their wives where they liked," he said. "But I chose ill; I ought never to have trusted her; she has no heart!" "Colonel, you will admit I was right in begging you not to come here! I am now certain of your identity. When you came in the countess made a little movement the meaning of which was not to be doubted. But you have lost your cause. Your wife now knows that you are unrecognizable." "I will kill her." "Nonsense! then you would be arrested and guillotined as a criminal. Besides, you might miss your stroke; it is unpardonable not to kill a wife when you attempt it. Leave me to undo your folly, you big child! Go away; but take care of yourself, for she is capable of laying some trap and getting you locked up at Charenton.
