One morning Abbé Bourrette made his appearance, his face betokening1 the greatest distress2. As soon as he caught sight of Marthe on the steps, he hurried up to her and, seizing her hands and pressing them, he stammered3:
'Poor Compan! it is all over with him! he is dying! I am going upstairs, I must see Faujas at once.'
When Marthe showed him his fellow priest, who, according to his wont4, was walking to and fro at the bottom of the garden, reading his breviary, he ran up to him, tottering5 on his short legs. He tried to speak and tell the other the sad news, but his grief choked him, and he could only throw his arms round Abbé Faujas's neck, while sobbing6 bitterly.
'Hullo! what's the matter with the two parsons?' cried Mouret, who had hastily rushed out of the dining-room.
'The Curé of Saint-Saturnin's is dying,' Marthe replied, showing much distress.
[Pg 121]
Mouret assumed an expression of surprise, and, as he went back into the house, he murmured:
'Pooh! that worthy7 Bourrette will manage to console himself to-morrow when he is appointed Curé in the other's place. He counts on getting the post; he told me so.'
Abbé Faujas disengaged himself from the old priest's embrace, quietly closed his breviary, and listened to the sad news with a grave face.
'Compan wants to see you,' said Abbé Bourrette in a broken voice; 'he will not last the morning out. Oh! he has been a dear friend to me! We studied together. He is anxious to say good-bye to you. He has been telling me all through the night that you were the only man of courage in the diocese. For more than a year now he has been getting weaker and weaker, and not a single Plassans priest has dared to go and grasp his hand; while you, a stranger, who scarcely knew him, you have spent an afternoon with him every week. The tears came into his eyes just now as he was speaking of you; you must lose no time, my friend.'
