"Master Rabodin."
"Very good; take a pen and write."
The tradesman obeyed.
"MASTER RABODIN,—I send you the four thousand livres, damages and costs due upon the judgment in favor of Master Biscarros, whom I strongly suspect of a purpose to make an improper use of it. Be kind enough to hand the bearer your receipt—"
"What next?" queried the tradesman.
"Date and sign it."
The tradesman did as he was bid.
"Now," said Cauvignac to Ferguzon, "take this letter and money, disguise yourself as a miller, and call upon the attorney."
"What shall I do there?"
"Give him the money and take his receipt."
