Suddenly
the
door
opened
.
It
was
M
.
de
Rênal
.
His
severe
and
discontented
expression
contrasted
strangely
with
the
sweet
joy
which
his
presence
dissipated
.
Madame
de
Rênal
grew
pale
,
she
felt
herself
incapable
of
denying
anything
.
Julien
seized
command
of
the
conversation
and
commenced
telling
M
.
the
mayor
in
a
loud
voice
the
incident
of
the
silver
goblet
which
Stanislas
wanted
to
sell
.
He
was
quite
certain
this
story
would
not
be
appreciated
.
M
.
de
Rênal
first
of
all
frowned
mechanically
at
the
mere
mention
of
money
.
Any
allusion
to
that
mineral
,
he
was
accustomed
to
say
,
is
always
a
prelude
to
some
demand
made
upon
my
purse
.
But
this
was
something
more
than
a
mere
money
matter
.
His
suspicions
were
increased
.
The
air
of
happiness
which
animated
his
family
during
his
absence
was
not
calculated
to
smooth
matters
over
with
a
man
who
was
a
prey
to
so
touchy
a
vanity
.
"
Yes
,
yes
,
"
he
said
,
as
his
wife
started
to
praise
to
him
the
combined
grace
and
cleverness
of
the
way
in
which
Julien
gave
ideas
to
his
pupils
.
"
I
know
,
he
renders
me
hateful
to
my
own
children
.
It
is
easy
enough
for
him
to
make
himself
a
hundred
times
more
loveable
to
them
than
I
am
myself
,
though
after
all
,
I
am
the
master
.
In
this
century
everything
tends
to
make
legitimate
authority
unpopular
.
Poor
France
!
"
Madame
de
Rênal
had
not
stopped
to
examine
the
fine
shades
of
the
welcome
which
her
husband
gave
her
.
She
had
just
caught
a
glimpse
of
the
possibility
of
spending
twelve
hours
with
Julien
.
She
had
a
lot
of
purchases
to
make
in
the
town
and
declared
that
she
positively
insisted
in
going
to
dine
at
the
tavern
.
She
stuck
to
her
idea
in
spite
of
all
her
husband
’
s
protests
and
remonstrances
.
The
children
were
delighted
with
the
mere
word
tavern
,
which
our
modern
prudery
denounces
with
so
much
gusto
.

M
.
de
Rênal
left
his
wife
in
the
first
draper
’
s
shop
which
she
entered
and
went
to
pay
some
visits
.
He
came
back
more
morose
than
he
had
been
in
the
morning
.
He
was
convinced
that
the
whole
town
was
busy
with
himself
and
Julien
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
no
one
had
yet
given
him
any
inkling
as
to
the
more
offensive
part
of
the
public
gossip
.
Those
items
which
had
been
repeated
to
M
.
the
mayor
dealt
exclusively
with
the
question
of
whether
Julien
would
remain
with
him
with
six
hundred
francs
,
or
would
accept
the
eight
hundred
francs
offered
by
M
.
the
director
of
the
workhouse
.
The
director
,
when
he
met
M
.
de
Rênal
in
society
,
gave
him
the
cold
shoulder
.
These
tactics
were
not
without
cleverness
.
There
is
no
impulsiveness
in
the
provinces
.
Sensations
are
so
rare
there
that
they
are
never
allowed
to
be
wasted
.
M
.
le
Valenod
was
what
is
called
a
hundred
miles
from
Paris
a
faraud
;
that
means
a
coarse
imprudent
type
of
man
.
His
triumphant
existence
since
1815
had
consolidated
his
natural
qualities
.
He
reigned
,
so
to
say
,
in
Verrières
subject
to
the
orders
of
M
.
de
Rênal
;
but
as
he
was
much
more
energetic
,
was
ashamed
of
nothing
,
had
a
finger
in
everything
,
and
was
always
going
about
writing
and
speaking
,
and
was
oblivious
of
all
snubs
,
he
had
,
although
without
any
personal
pretensions
,
eventually
come
to
equal
the
mayor
in
reputation
in
the
eyes
of
the
ecclesiastical
authorities
.
M
.
Valenod
had
,
as
it
were
,
said
to
the
local
tradesmen
"
Give
me
the
two
biggest
fools
among
your
number
;
"
to
the
men
of
law
"
Show
me
the
two
greatest
dunces
;
"
to
the
sanitary
officials
"
Point
out
to
me
the
two
biggest
charlatans
.
"
When
he
had
thus
collected
the
most
impudent
members
of
each
separate
calling
,
he
had
practically
said
to
them
,
"
Let
us
reign
together
.
"

The
manners
of
those
people
were
offensive
to
M
.
de
Rênal
.
The
coarseness
of
Valenod
took
offence
at
nothing
,
not
even
the
frequency
with
which
the
little
abbé
Maslon
would
give
the
lie
to
him
in
public
.
But
in
the
middle
of
all
this
prosperity
M
.
Valenod
found
it
necessary
to
reassure
himself
by
a
number
of
petty
acts
of
insolence
on
the
score
of
the
crude
truths
which
he
well
realised
that
everybody
was
justified
in
addressing
to
him
.
His
activity
had
redoubled
since
the
fears
which
the
visit
of
M
.
Appert
had
left
him
.
He
had
made
three
journeys
to
Besançon
.
He
wrote
several
letters
by
each
courier
;
he
sent
others
by
unknown
men
who
came
to
his
house
at
nightfall
.
Perhaps
he
had
been
wrong
in
securing
the
dismissal
of
the
old
curé
Chélan
.
For
this
piece
of
vindictiveness
had
resulted
in
his
being
considered
an
extremely
malicious
man
by
several
pious
women
of
good
birth
.
Besides
,
the
rendering
of
this
service
had
placed
him
in
absolute
dependence
on
M
.
the
Grand
Vicar
de
Frilair
from
whom
he
received
some
strange
commissions
.
He
had
reached
this
point
in
his
intrigues
when
he
had
yielded
to
the
pleasure
of
writing
an
anonymous
letter
,
and
thus
increasing
his
embarrassment
.
His
wife
declared
to
him
that
she
wanted
to
have
Julien
in
her
house
;
her
vanity
was
intoxicated
with
the
idea
.
