success. Have such men any honor? Can one feel any obligation towards
them?

De Verby
No, they are contemptible wretches.

Dupre (aside)
He has well said it. This is the fellow who has ruined poor Jules! I
must keep my eye on him.


SCENE FIFTH

The same persons, Antoine and Jules (the latter led in by police
agents.)


Antoine
Sir, a carriage stopped at the door. Several men got out. M. Jules is
with them; they are bringing him in.

M. and Mme. Rousseau
My son!

Mme. du Brocard
My nephew!

Dupre
Yes, I see what it is--doubtless a search-warrant. They wish to look
over his papers.
