Therefore she made them a donation of the house, and they retired highly satisfied. After a short time she married a French friend of mine called Monsieur Boutuvil, and came to live in Pondicherry. All the (European) inhabitants of Bengal marvelled at this extraordinary story, and for a long time could talk of nothing else. At this time there lived in Bengal a French surgeon called Monsieur Cattem. This man was in the service of the Royal Company, and, fearing that after his death the Jesuits might calumniate his wife, he put into his will this clause: that if by chance his wife were an adulteress, she should, nevertheless, remain his heir. But the Jesuits aforesaid do not mind in the least creating these scandals, and go on with such-like knaveries, of which I will give some examples. There was also in Bengal a young Frenchman called Monsieur Pellé, second in the Royal Company, and married to Senhora Catterina, of Portuguese race. She lived on good terms with her husband. Belonging to the Royal Company there was among the other Fathers one Father Quenin, who interfered in every business, and therefore nowadays he is styled colloquially 'Monsieur Quenin.' This father, I know not why, took such a dislike to Senhora Catterina, that he sought every method of doing her an ill turn. - [Previous: 344.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.344.2.1) - [Next: 344.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.344.2.3) - [Up: 344.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.344.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.344.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.344.2.2) · Pramāṇa
