ABSTRACT
Monsieur d’Anglade (who was a gentleman, though of an inferior rank to the Count) and his wife lived with less splendor, but yet with elegance and decency suitable to their situation in life. They had a carriage, and were admitted into the best companies, where probably d’Anglade encreased his income by play; but, on the strictest enquiry, it did not appear that any dishonourable actions could be imputed to him. Monsieur and Madame d’Anglade earnestly desired to have their apartments and their servants examined: and, from some observations he then made, or some prejudice he had before entertained against Monsieur and Madame d’Anglade, the Lieutenant of the Police seems to have conceived the most disadvantageous opinion of them, and to have been so far prepossessed with an idea of their guilt, that he did not sufficiently investigate the looks and the conduct of others.
