This way of making a fortune was a matter of conscience — nothing more. Energetic, and fully alive to the count's interests, Moreau looked out all the more • keenly for good opportunities of driving a bargain, since he was sure of a handsome douceur. Presles was worth sixty-two thousand francs in cash rents ; and throughout the district, for ten leagues round, the saying was, ** Monsieur de S6rizy has a second self in Moreau ! " Moreau, like a prudent man, had, since 1817, invested his salary a...nd his profits year by year in the Funds, feathering his nest in absolute secrecy. He had refused various business speculations on the plea of want of money, and affected pov- erty so well to the count that he had obtained two scholar- ships for his boys at the College Henri IV. And, at this moment, Moreau owned a hundred and twenty thousand francs in reduced consols, then paying five per cent., and quoted at eighty. These unacknowledged hundred and twenty thousand francs, and his farm at Champagne, to which he had made additions, amounted to a fortune of about two hundred and eighty thousand francs, yielding an income of sixteen thousand francs a year.
