Surprised to find so much piety in a French military man, the worthy magistrate invited the confessor of the convent to meet his guest.

Mme. de Bargeton, for instance, must always be visible.

It is true that they sat in the boudoir, now grown so familiar to Lucien that he felt as if he had a right to be there; but the doors stood scrupulously open, and
