EXCELSIOR!
Once again Madame Caroline found herself alone.
Hamelin had remained in Paris until the early days of November on account of the formalities connected with the final constitution of the company, with its capital of one hundred and fifty millions of francs; and he it was who by Saccard's desire went to Maître Lelorrain's, in the Rue Sainte-Anne, to make the fresh declarations which the law required, alleging that all the shares had been subscribed and the capital paid in, which was not true.
Then he started for Rome, where he was to spend a couple of months, having some important matters which he did not speak of to study there--doubtless that famous visionary scheme of installing the Pope at Jerusalem, as well as a more weighty and practical idea, that of transforming the Universal into a Catholic bank, based on the interests of all Christendom, a vast machine which would crush the Jew bankers and sweep them off the face of the earth.
And from Rome he meant to betake himself to the East again, having to return thither to attend to the railway line from Broussa to Beyrout.
