The
notary
continued
:
"
I
shall
read
you
the
document
which
is
very
brief
.
"
"
'
I
,
the
undersigned
,
Paul
Emile
Cyprien
Gontran
,
Count
deVaudrec
,
sound
both
in
body
and
mind
,
here
express
my
lastwishes
.
As
death
might
take
me
away
at
any
moment
,
I
wish
totake
the
precaution
of
drawing
up
my
will
,
to
be
deposited
withM
.
Lamaneur
.
'
"
"
'
Having
no
direct
heirs
,
I
bequeath
all
my
fortune
,
comprisingstocks
and
bonds
for
six
hundred
thousand
francs
and
landedproperty
for
five
hundred
thousand
,
to
Mme.
Claire
Madeleine
duRoy
unconditionally
.
I
beg
her
to
accept
that
gift
from
a
deadfriend
as
a
proof
of
devoted
,
profound
,
and
respectfulaffection
.
'
"
The
notary
said
:
"
That
is
all
.
That
document
bears
the
date
of
August
last
,
and
took
the
place
of
one
of
the
same
nature
made
two
years
ago
in
the
name
of
Mme.
Claire
Madeleine
Forestier
.
I
have
the
first
will
,
which
would
prove
,
in
case
of
contestation
on
the
part
of
the
family
,
that
Count
de
Vaudrec
had
not
changed
his
mind
.
"
Madeleine
cast
down
her
eyes
;
her
cheeks
were
pale
.
Georges
nervously
twisted
his
mustache
.
The
notary
continued
after
a
moment
's
pause
:
"
It
is
of
course
understood
that
Madame
can
not
accept
that
legacy
without
your
consent
.
"
Du
Roy
rose
and
said
shortly
:
"
I
ask
time
for
reflection
.
"
The
notary
smiled
,
bowed
,
and
replied
pleasantly
:
"
I
comprehend
the
scruples
which
cause
you
to
hesitate
.
I
may
add
that
M.
de
Vaudrec
's
nephew
,
who
was
informed
this
morning
of
his
uncle
's
last
wishes
,
expresses
himself
as
ready
to
respect
them
if
he
be
given
one
hundred
thousand
francs
.
In
my
opinion
the
will
can
not
be
broken
,
but
a
lawsuit
would
cause
a
sensation
which
you
would
probably
like
to
avoid
.
The
world
often
judges
uncharitably
.
Can
you
let
me
have
your
reply
before
Saturday
?
