344.2.3

One day, on meeting her husband, the Jesuit was unable to restrain his anger, and said to him that he had better set to work to put his house in order. Monsieur Pellé, being a cautious man, paid no heed to this advice, never suspecting it to be directed against his wife. But the choler of Father Quenin was not appeased by this, but increased to such an extent that a few days after the first speech he said to the husband plainly that his wife had committed adultery, and that he should therefore take steps against such misconduct. To these words Pellé replied that his Reverence was ill-informed, he knew his wife to be an honourable woman, and all men saw with what modesty she behaved. Some days having passed, the Jesuit met Pellé again in society, a number of people being present, and before them all the priest said : 'It seems to me I have sufficiently warned you, sir, of the adultery your wife commits, and yet you do not mind me ; last night a man, (he gave the name, but it was not known to the bystanders) scaled the wall of your house, and you pretend to see nothing.'
