"Ah, now you find you have a reparation to make to M. de Chanlay."
"Not to him, but to his brother."
"Still better. What have you done to his brother?"
"I took from him the woman he loved."
"Who?"——"Helene's mother."
"Well, that time you were wrong; for if you had let her alone we should not have had all this tiresome affair on our hands."
"But we have it, and must now get out of it as well as possible."
"Just what I am working at: and when is the marriage to take place?"
"To-morrow."
"In the chapel of the Palais Royal? You shall dress in the costume of a knight of the order; you shall extend both hands over your son-in-law's head—one more than he meant to have held over you—it will be very affecting."
