If you doubt these facts , strange as they may appear , go to the Rue du Temple , No. 17 , and inform yourself ; paint to yourself the features of the _ august person _ spoken of , and you will easily acknowledge that you are the most credulous , good-natured husband who has ever been so _ sovereignly _ deceived . Do not neglect this advice ; otherwise it will be supposed that you , also are too much . `` THE FRIEND OF PRINCES . '' This note was put in the post at five o'clock by Sarah , on the day of her interview with the notary . The same evening , Rudolph went to pay a visit to a foreign embassy : after which it was his intention to go to Madame d'Harville 's to announce to her that he had found a charitable intrigue worthy of her . We will conduct the reader to Madame d'Harville 's . It will be seen , from the following conversation , that this young lady , in showing herself generous and compassionate towards her husband , whom she had until then treated with extreme coldness , followed already the noble counsels of Rudolph .
