On
reaching
home
he
found
a
valet
of
M
.
Valenod
in
full
livery
who
had
been
looking
for
him
all
over
the
town
,
with
a
card
inviting
him
to
dinner
for
that
same
day
.
982
Julien
had
never
been
in
that
man
s
house
.
Only
a
few
days
before
he
had
been
thinking
of
nothing
but
the
means
of
giving
him
a
sound
thrashing
without
getting
into
trouble
with
the
police
.
Although
the
time
of
the
dinner
was
one
o
clock
,
Julien
thought
it
was
more
deferential
to
present
himself
at
half
-
past
twelve
at
the
office
of
M
.
the
director
of
the
workhouse
.
He
found
him
parading
his
importance
in
the
middle
of
a
lot
of
despatch
boxes
.
983
His
large
black
whiskers
,
his
enormous
quantity
of
hair
,
his
Greek
bonnet
placed
across
the
top
of
his
head
,
his
immense
pipe
,
his
embroidered
slippers
,
the
big
chains
of
gold
crossed
all
over
his
breast
,
and
the
whole
stock
-
in
-
trade
of
a
provincial
financier
who
considers
himself
prosperous
,
failed
to
impose
on
Julien
in
the
least
:
They
only
made
him
think
the
more
of
the
thrashing
which
he
owed
him
.

He
asked
for
the
honour
of
being
introduced
to
Madame
Valenod
.
She
was
dressing
and
was
unable
to
receive
him
.
By
way
of
compensation
he
had
the
privilege
of
witnessing
the
toilet
of
M
.
the
director
of
the
workhouse
.
They
subsequently
went
into
the
apartment
of
Madame
Valenod
,
who
introduced
her
children
to
him
with
tears
in
her
eyes
.
This
lady
was
one
of
the
most
important
in
Verrières
,
had
a
big
face
like
a
man
s
,
on
which
she
had
put
rouge
in
honour
of
this
great
function
.
She
displayed
all
the
maternal
pathos
of
which
she
was
capable
.
985
Julien
thought
all
the
time
of
Madame
de
Rênal
.
His
distrust
made
him
only
susceptible
to
those
associations
which
are
called
up
by
their
opposites
,
but
he
was
then
affected
to
the
verge
of
breaking
down
.
This
tendency
was
increased
by
the
sight
of
the
house
of
the
director
of
the
workhouse
.
He
was
shown
over
it
.
Everything
in
it
was
new
and
magnificent
,
and
he
was
told
the
price
of
every
article
of
furniture
.
But
Julien
detected
a
certain
element
of
sordidness
,
which
smacked
of
stolen
money
into
the
bargain
.
Everybody
in
it
,
down
to
the
servants
,
had
the
air
of
setting
his
face
in
advance
against
contempt
.
986
The
collector
of
taxes
,
the
superintendent
of
indirect
taxes
,
the
officer
of
gendarmerie
,
and
two
or
three
other
public
officials
arrived
with
their
wives
.
They
were
followed
by
some
rich
Liberals
.
Dinner
was
announced
.
It
occurred
to
Julien
,
who
was
already
feeling
upset
,
that
there
were
some
poor
prisoners
on
the
other
side
of
the
dining
-
room
wall
,
and
that
an
illicit
profit
had
perhaps
been
made
over
their
rations
of
meat
in
order
to
purchase
all
that
garish
luxury
with
which
they
were
trying
to
overwhelm
him
.
987
"
Perhaps
they
are
hungry
at
this
very
minute
,
"
he
said
to
himself
.
He
felt
a
choking
in
his
throat
.
He
found
it
impossible
to
eat
and
almost
impossible
to
speak
.
Matters
became
much
worse
a
quarter
of
an
hour
afterwards
;
they
heard
in
the
distance
some
refrains
of
a
popular
song
that
was
,
it
must
be
confessed
,
a
little
vulgar
,
which
was
being
sung
by
one
of
the
inmates
.
M
.
Valenod
gave
a
look
to
one
of
his
liveried
servants
who
disappeared
and
soon
there
was
no
more
singing
to
be
heard
.
At
that
moment
a
valet
offered
Julien
some
Rhine
wine
in
a
green
glass
and
Madame
Valenod
made
a
point
of
asking
him
to
note
that
this
wine
cost
nine
francs
a
bottle
in
the
market
.
Julien
held
up
his
green
glass
and
said
to
M
.
Valenod
,

"
They
are
not
singing
that
wretched
song
any
more
.
"
989
"
Zounds
,
I
should
think
not
,
"
answered
the
triumphant
governor
.
"
I
have
made
the
rascals
keep
quiet
.
"
990
These
words
were
too
much
for
Julien
.
He
had
the
manners
of
his
new
position
,
but
he
had
not
yet
assimilated
its
spirit
.
In
spite
of
all
his
hypocrisy
and
its
frequent
practice
,
he
felt
a
big
tear
drip
down
his
cheek
.
