I have been told that her brother Anatole was in love with her and she with him, that there was quite a scandal and that that's why he was sent away. And he again saw her not as the daughter of Prince Vasili, but visualized her whole body only veiled by its gray dress. "But no!
Jules Lemaître and Anatole France, for instance, who antagonize almost everything that he defends and defend almost everything that he antagonizes, and whose success has hardly been inferior to his. Neither is it due to any charm in his style. Brunetière's sentences are compact, indeed, strongly knit together, but decidedly heavy and at times even clumsy.
What a sublime thought! exclaimed the journalist, enraptured. Mademoiselle Louison's sublime thought passed round the table, and was much admired. Only the frivolous Adèle whispered to her obese admirer, 'It would take a good many angels to bear you, Anatole. Meanwhile the journalist seized the opportunity; he knew how to rivet the general attention.
"Wait a bit, he is not drunk yet! A bottle here," said Anatole, taking a glass from the table he went up to Pierre. "First of all you must drink!" Pierre drank one glass after another, looking from under his brows at the tipsy guests who were again crowding round the window, and listening to their chatter.
The would-be essayist wastes it in pretty writing about trivial things neighbors' back yards, books I have read, the idiosyncrasies of cats, humors of the streets the sort of dilettantish comment that older nations writing of more settled, richer civilizations can do well that Anatole France and occasional essayists of Punch or The Spectator can do well and most of us do indifferently.
But as Mademoiselle Adèle and Monsieur Anatole drove past the English dispensary in the Rue de la Paix, he stopped the driver, and said pleadingly to his fair companion: 'I really think I must get out and get something for those truffles. You will excuse me, won't you? That music, you know. 'Don't mind me, my friend. Speaking candidly, I don't think either of us is specially lively this evening.
He spent some time in watching the little orange-trees in tubs growing in the hothouse of Anatole France, and the delicate, perfect flowers clambering over the gravelike soul of Barres. He stayed for a moment or two before the genius, part sublime, part silly, of Maeterlinck: from that there issued a polite mysticism, monotonous, numbing like some vague sorrow.
Your aunt," said Tuppy, "is a bit above herself. I don't know all the facts of the case, but it appears that Anatole gave notice and has now consented to stay on, and also your uncle has given her a cheque for that paper of hers. I didn't get the details, but she is much braced. See you later. I must rush." To say that Bertram was now definitely nonplussed would be but to state the simple truth.
"Women who are comme il faut, that's a different matter; but the Kuragins' set of women, 'women and wine' I don't understand!" Pierre was staying at Prince Vasili Kuragin's and sharing the dissipated life of his son Anatole, the son whom they were planning to reform by marrying him to Prince Andrew's sister.
They produce them as easily as the queen bee produces the eggs that hatch into drones. And both the number and productivity of such minds are terribly on the increase. A few years ago Anatole France told us that, in Paris alone, fifty volumes a day were published, not to mention the newspapers; and the rate has gone up since then. He called it a monstrous orgy.
