On the second page was the name of the nurse.

"The child, Angelique Marie, had been given, on January 25, 1851, to the nurse, Francoise, sister of Mr.Hamelin, a farmer by profession, living in the parish of Soulanges, an arrondissement of Nevers.

The aforesaid nurse had received on her departure the pay for the first month of her care, in addition to her clothing." Then there was a certificate of her baptism, signed by the chaplain of the Asylum for Abandoned Children; also that of the physician on the arrival and on the departure of the infant.

The monthly accounts, paid in quarterly installments, filled farther on the columns of four pages, and each time there was the illegible signature of the receiver or collector.
"What! Nevers!" asked Hubertine.

"You were brought up near Nevers ?" Angelique, red with anger that she could not prevent them from reading, had fallen into a sullen silence.
