2 P.M.
As for M. Dalzon , I ca n't think how he has the face . I have got a copy of his too notorious book . I do not like to use it , but he had better be careful . _ 2 P.M. _ At the Institute , in my good master 's rooms , where I shall await the result of the voting . Perhaps it is pure imagination , but I fancy that my arrival , though they expected me , has put them out here a little . Our friends were finishing breakfast . There was a bustle and banging of doors , and Corentine , instead of showing me into the drawing-room , hustled me into the library , where my old master joined me with an embarrassed air , and in a low voice advised me to keep extremely quiet .
