to revoke this donation; upon any pretext whatever; and on pain of
incurring the aversion and contempt of all honest men。  Well; sir! be it
so;〃 said Gabriel; with deep bitterness; 〃 I will expose myself to all
the consequences of perjury; you may proclaim it everywhere。  I may be
hated and despised by allbut God will judge me!〃  The young priest
dried a tear; which trickled from his eye。

〃Oh! do not be afraid; my dear boy!〃 cried Dagobert; with reviving hope。
〃All honest men will be on your side!〃

〃Well done; brother!〃 said Agricola。

〃M。 Notary;〃 said Rodin; in his little sharp voice; 〃please to explain to
Abbe Gabriel; that he may perjure himself as much as he thinks fit; but
that the Civil Code is much less easy to violate than a mere promise;
which is onlysacred!〃

〃Speak; sir;〃 said Gabriel。

〃Please to inform Abbe Gabriel;〃 resumed Rodin; 〃that a deed of gift;
like that made in favor of Father d'Aigrigny; can only be cancelled for
one of three reasonsis it not so?〃

〃Yes; sir; for three reasons;〃 said the notary。

〃The first is in case of the birth of a child;〃 said Rodin; 〃and I should
blush to mention such a contingency to the Abbe Gabriel。  The second is
the ingratitude of the doneeand the Abbe Gabriel may be certain of our
deep and lasting gratitude。  The last case is the non…fulfilment of the
wishes of the donor; with regard to the employment of his gifts。

Now; although the Abbe Gabriel may have suddenly conceived a very bad
opinion of us; he will at least give us some time to show that his gifts
have been disposed of according to his wishes; and applied to the Greater
Glory of the Lord。〃

〃Now; M。 Notary;〃 added Father d'Aigrigny; 〃it is for you to decide and
say; if Abbe Gabriel can revoke the donation he has made。〃

Just as the notary was going to answer; Bathsheba reentered the room;
followed by two more personages; who appeared in the Red Room at a little
distance from each other。
