Such
being
his
position
M
.
Valenod
imagined
in
advance
a
decisive
scene
with
his
old
colleague
M
.
de
Rênal
.
The
latter
might
address
to
him
some
harsh
words
,
which
he
would
not
mind
much
;
but
he
might
write
to
Besançon
and
even
to
Paris
.
Some
minister
’
s
cousin
might
suddenly
fall
down
on
Verrières
and
take
over
the
workhouse
.
Valenod
thought
of
coming
to
terms
with
the
Liberals
.
It
was
for
that
purpose
that
several
of
them
had
been
invited
to
the
dinner
when
Julien
was
present
.
He
would
have
obtained
powerful
support
against
the
mayor
but
the
elections
might
supervene
,
and
it
was
only
too
evident
that
the
directorship
of
the
workhouse
was
inconsistent
with
voting
on
the
wrong
side
.
Madame
de
Rênal
had
made
a
shrewd
guess
at
this
intrigue
,
and
while
she
explained
it
to
Julien
as
he
gave
her
his
arm
to
pass
from
one
shop
to
another
,
they
found
themselves
gradually
taken
as
far
as
the
Cours
de
la
Fidélité
where
they
spent
several
hours
nearly
as
tranquil
as
those
at
Vergy
.
At
the
same
time
M
.
Valenod
was
trying
to
put
off
a
definite
crisis
with
his
old
patron
by
himself
assuming
the
aggressive
.
These
tactics
succeeded
on
this
particular
day
,
but
aggravated
the
mayor
’
s
bad
temper
.
Never
has
vanity
at
close
grips
with
all
the
harshness
and
meanness
of
a
pettifogging
love
of
money
reduced
a
man
to
a
more
sorry
condition
than
that
of
M
.
de
Rênal
when
he
entered
the
tavern
.
The
children
,
on
the
other
hand
,
had
never
been
more
joyful
and
more
merry
.
This
contrast
put
the
finishing
touch
on
his
pique
.
"
So
far
as
I
can
see
I
am
not
wanted
in
my
family
,
"
he
said
as
he
entered
in
a
tone
which
he
meant
to
be
impressive
.
For
answer
,
his
wife
took
him
on
one
side
and
declared
that
it
was
essential
to
send
Julien
away
.
The
hours
of
happiness
which
she
had
just
enjoyed
had
given
her
again
the
ease
and
firmness
of
demeanour
necessary
to
follow
out
the
plan
of
campaign
which
she
had
been
hatching
for
a
fortnight
The
finishing
touch
to
the
trouble
of
the
poor
mayor
of
Verrières
was
the
fact
that
he
knew
that
they
joked
publicly
in
the
town
about
his
love
for
cash
.
Valenod
was
as
generous
as
a
thief
,
and
on
his
side
had
acquitted
himself
brilliantly
in
the
last
five
or
six
collections
for
the
Brotherhood
of
St
.
Joseph
,
the
congregation
of
the
Virgin
,
the
congregation
of
the
Holy
Sacrament
,
etc
.
,
etc
.
M
.
de
Rênal
’
s
name
had
been
seen
more
than
once
at
the
bottom
of
the
list
of
gentlefolk
of
Verrières
,
and
the
surrounding
neighbourhood
who
were
adroitly
classified
in
the
list
of
the
collecting
brethren
according
to
the
amount
of
their
offerings
.
It
was
in
vain
that
he
said
that
he
was
not
making
money
.
The
clergy
stands
no
nonsense
in
such
matters
.
Let
us
leave
this
petty
man
to
his
petty
fears
;
why
did
he
take
a
man
of
spirit
into
his
household
when
he
needed
someone
with
the
soul
of
a
valet
?
Why
can
’
t
he
select
his
staff
?
The
ordinary
trend
of
the
nineteenth
century
is
that
when
a
noble
and
powerful
individual
encounters
a
man
of
spirit
,
he
kills
him
,
exiles
him
and
imprisons
him
,
or
so
humiliates
him
that
the
other
is
foolish
enough
to
die
of
grief
.
In
this
country
it
so
happens
that
it
is
not
merely
the
man
of
spirit
who
suffers
.
The
great
misfortunes
of
the
little
towns
of
France
and
of
representative
governments
,
like
that
of
New
York
,
is
that
they
find
it
impossible
to
forget
the
existence
of
individuals
like
M
.
de
Rênal
.
It
is
these
men
who
make
public
opinion
in
a
town
of
twenty
thousand
inhabitants
,
and
public
opinion
is
terrible
in
a
country
which
has
a
charter
of
liberty
.
A
man
,
though
of
a
naturally
noble
and
generous
disposition
,
who
would
have
been
your
friend
in
the
natural
course
of
events
,
but
who
happens
to
live
a
hundred
leagues
off
,
judges
you
by
the
public
opinion
of
your
town
which
is
made
by
those
fools
who
have
chanced
to
be
born
noble
,
rich
and
conservative
.
Unhappy
is
the
man
who
distinguishes
himself
.
Immediately
after
dinner
they
left
for
Vergy
,
but
the
next
day
but
one
Julien
saw
the
whole
family
return
to
Verrières
.
An
hour
had
not
passed
before
he
discovered
to
his
great
surprise
that
Madame
de
Rênal
had
some
mystery
up
her
sleeve
.
Whenever
he
came
into
the
room
she
would
break
off
her
conversation
with
her
husband
and
would
almost
seem
to
desire
that
he
should
go
away
.
Julien
did
not
need
to
be
given
this
hint
twice
.
He
became
cold
and
reserved
.
Madame
de
Rênal
noticed
it
and
did
not
ask
for
an
explanation
.
"
Is
she
going
to
give
me
a
successor
,
"
thought
Julien
.
"
And
to
think
of
her
being
so
familiar
with
me
the
day
before
yesterday
,
but
that
is
how
these
great
ladies
are
said
to
act
.
It
’
s
just
like
kings
.
One
never
gets
any
more
warning
than
the
disgraced
minister
who
enters
his
house
to
find
his
letter
of
dismissal
.
"
Julien
noticed
that
these
conversations
which
left
off
so
abruptly
at
his
approach
,
often
dealt
with
a
big
house
which
belonged
to
the
municipality
of
Verrières
,
a
house
which
though
old
was
large
and
commodious
and
situated
opposite
the
church
in
the
most
busy
commercial
district
of
the
town
.
"
What
connection
can
there
be
between
this
house
and
a
new
lover
,
"
said
Julien
to
himself
.
In
his
chagrin
he
repeated
to
himself
the
pretty
verses
of
Francis
I
.
which
seemed
novel
to
him
,
for
Madame
de
Rênal
had
only
taught
him
them
a
month
before
:
