The very thought turns me to ice, " she added, in aheart-rending tone. "But, father, think that I have promised him thetruth in two hours. " "If so, my daughter, tell him to go to the Portuguese embassy and seethe Comte de Funcal, your father. I will be there. " "But Monsieur de Maulincour has told him of Ferragus. Oh, father, whattorture, to deceive, deceive, deceive!" "Need you say that to me? But only a few days more, and no living manwill be able to expose me. Besides, Monsieur de Maulincou...r is beyondthe faculty of remembering. Come, dry your tears, my silly child, andthink--" At this instant a terrible cry rang from the room in which JulesDesmarets was stationed. The clamor was heard by Madame Jules and Ferragus through the openingof the wall, and struck them with terror. "Go and see what it means, Clemence, " said her father. Clemence ran rapidly down the little staircase, found the door intoMadame Gruget's apartment wide open, heard the cries which echoed fromthe upper floor, went up the stairs, guided by the noise of sobs, andcaught these words before she entered the fatal chamber:-- "You, monsieur, you, with your horrid inventions, --you are the causeof her death!" "Hush, miserable woman!" replied Jules, putting his handkerchief onthe mouth of the old woman, who began at once to cry out, "Murder!help!" At this instant Clemence entered, saw her husband, uttered a cry, andfled away.
