Noon
The Change XXII . The Red Room XXIII . The Testament XXIV . The Last Stroke of Noon XXV . The Deed of Gift About two hours before the event last related took place at St. Mary 's Convent , Rodin and Abbe d'Aigrigny met in the room where we have already seen them , in the Rue du Milieu-des-Ursins . Since the Revolution of July , Father d'Aigrigny had thought proper to remove for the moment to this temporary habitation all the secret archives and correspondence of his Order -- a prudent measure , since he had every reason to fear that the reverend fathers would be expelled by the state from that magnificent establishment , with which the restoration had so liberally endowed their society .
