One
of
them
,
Falcoz
,
a
paper
-
merchant
of
Verrières
,
and
a
man
of
intellect
and
spirit
,
had
bought
a
printing
press
in
the
chief
town
of
the
department
and
undertaken
the
production
of
a
journal
.
The
priestly
congregation
had
resolved
to
ruin
him
;
his
journal
had
been
condemned
,
and
he
had
been
deprived
of
his
printer
s
diploma
.
In
these
sad
circumstances
he
ventured
to
write
to
M
.
de
Rênal
for
the
first
time
for
ten
years
.
The
mayor
of
Verrières
thought
it
his
duty
to
answer
in
the
old
Roman
style
:
"
If
the
King
s
Minister
were
to
do
me
the
honour
of
consulting
me
,
I
should
say
to
him
,
ruin
ruthlessly
all
the
provincial
printers
,
and
make
printing
a
monopoly
like
tobacco
.
"
M
.
882
de
Rênal
was
horrified
to
remember
the
terms
of
this
letter
to
an
intimate
friend
whom
all
Verrières
had
once
admired
,
"
Who
would
have
said
that
I
,
with
my
rank
,
my
fortune
,
my
decorations
,
would
ever
come
to
regret
it
?
"
It
was
in
these
transports
of
rage
,
directed
now
against
himself
,
now
against
all
his
surroundings
,
that
he
passed
an
awful
night
;
but
,
fortunately
,
it
never
occurred
to
him
to
spy
on
his
wife
.
883
"
I
am
accustomed
to
Louise
,
"
he
said
to
himself
,
"
she
knows
all
my
affairs
.
If
I
were
free
to
marry
to
-
morrow
,
I
should
not
find
anyone
to
take
her
place
.
"
Then
he
began
to
plume
himself
on
the
idea
that
his
wife
was
innocent
.
This
point
of
view
did
not
require
any
manifestation
of
character
,
and
suited
him
much
better
.
"
How
many
calumniated
women
has
one
not
seen
?

"
But
,
"
he
suddenly
exclaimed
,
as
he
walked
about
feverishly
,
"
shall
I
put
up
with
her
making
a
fool
of
me
with
her
lover
as
though
I
were
a
man
of
no
account
,
some
mere
ragamuffin
?
Is
all
Verrières
to
make
merry
over
my
complaisance
?
What
have
they
not
said
about
Charmier
(
he
was
a
husband
in
the
district
who
was
notoriously
deceived
)
?
Was
there
not
a
smile
on
every
lip
at
the
mention
of
his
name
?
He
is
a
good
advocate
,
but
whoever
said
anything
about
his
talent
for
speaking
?
Oh
,
Charmier
,
they
say
,
Bernard
s
Charmier
,
he
is
thus
designated
by
the
name
of
the
man
who
disgraces
him
.
"
885
"
I
have
no
daughter
,
thank
heaven
,
"
M
.
de
Rênal
would
say
at
other
times
,
"
and
the
way
in
which
I
am
going
to
punish
the
mother
will
consequently
not
be
so
harmful
to
my
children
s
household
.
886
I
could
surprise
this
little
peasant
with
my
wife
and
kill
them
both
;
in
that
case
the
tragedy
of
the
situation
would
perhaps
do
away
with
the
grotesque
element
.
"
This
idea
appealed
to
him
.
He
followed
it
up
in
all
its
details
.
"
The
penal
code
is
on
my
side
,
and
whatever
happens
our
congregation
and
my
friends
on
the
jury
will
save
me
.
"
He
examined
his
hunting
-
knife
which
was
quite
sharp
,
but
the
idea
of
blood
frightened
him
.
887
"
I
could
thrash
this
insolent
tutor
within
an
inch
of
his
life
and
hound
him
out
of
the
house
;
but
what
a
sensation
that
would
make
in
Verrières
and
even
over
the
whole
department
!
After
Falcoz
journal
had
been
condemned
,
and
when
its
chief
editor
left
prison
,
I
had
a
hand
in
making
him
lose
his
place
of
six
hundred
francs
a
year
.
They
say
that
this
scribbler
has
dared
to
show
himself
again
in
Besançon
.
He
may
lampoon
me
adroitly
and
in
such
a
way
that
it
will
be
impossible
to
bring
him
up
before
the
courts
.
Bring
him
up
before
the
courts
!
The
insolent
wretch
will
insinuate
in
a
thousand
and
one
ways
that
he
has
spoken
the
truth
.
A
well
-
born
man
who
keeps
his
place
like
I
do
,
is
hated
by
all
the
plebeians
.
I
shall
see
my
name
in
all
those
awful
Paris
papers
.
Oh
,
my
God
,
what
depths
.
To
see
the
ancient
name
of
Rênal
plunged
in
the
mire
of
ridicule
.
If
I
ever
travel
I
shall
have
to
change
my
name
.
What
!
abandon
that
name
which
is
my
glory
and
my
strength
.
Could
anything
be
worse
than
that
?

"
If
I
do
not
kill
my
wife
but
turn
her
out
in
disgrace
,
she
has
her
aunt
in
Besançon
who
is
going
to
hand
all
her
fortune
over
to
her
.
My
wife
will
go
and
live
in
Paris
with
Julien
.
889
It
will
be
known
at
Verrières
,
and
I
shall
be
taken
for
a
dupe
.
"
The
unhappy
man
then
noticed
from
the
paleness
of
the
lamplight
that
the
dawn
was
beginning
to
appear
.
He
went
to
get
a
little
fresh
air
in
the
garden
.
At
this
moment
he
had
almost
determined
to
make
no
scandal
,
particularly
in
view
of
the
fact
that
a
scandal
would
overwhelm
with
joy
all
his
good
friends
in
Verrières
.
890
The
promenade
in
the
garden
calmed
him
a
little
.
"
No
,
"
he
exclaimed
,
"
I
shall
not
deprive
myself
of
my
wife
,
she
is
too
useful
to
me
.
"
He
imagined
with
horror
what
his
house
would
be
without
his
wife
.
The
only
relative
he
had
was
the
Marquise
of
R
old
,
stupid
,
and
malicious
.
