"Well," queried the old man when Julien had finished reading, "are there any mistakes?"
"Yes, a great many, uncle," said Julien tranquilly, taking the pen.
"Gently! I don't want her to see the corrections. Fix it neatly."
"It is done. Now seal it and write the address."
"Well, what do you say to that?" continued the uncle, writing Madame d'Estrelle's name on the envelope.
"Nothing," replied Julien. "I don't believe in it."
"Will you believe in it if you deliver the letter?"
"Yes."
"Then what will you say?"
"Nothing. It's your affair."
