Chapter VI
Madame d’Espard’s tact and practice in estimating men made her understand that M. Popinot was not to be influenced by any consideration. She had counted on an ambitious lawyer, she had found a man of conscience. She at once thought of finding other means for securing the success of her side. The servants brought in tea. “Have you any further explanations to give me, madame?” said Popinot, seeing these preparations.
