Consultation of lawyers signed: E. Arago, Favre, Berryer, to complain of these abominations." Find out from him if all that is true; I shall be obliged. LXVII. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croisset Paris, Tuesday, 1st October, 1867 Dear friend, you shall have your information. I asked Peyrat last evening, I am writing today to Barbes who will answer directly to you.
It seems to me that in twenty years there will be only hypocrites and blackguards! Give me news of yourself, tell me of your poor mother, your family, of Croisset. Love us still, as we love you. G. Sand CXCIV. TO GEORGE SAND Croisset, Wednesday, 6 September Well, dear master, it seems to me that you are forgetting your troubadour, aren't you? Are you then quite overwhelmed with work!
In the gloom outside one of his hands slipped under his coat and rested on the butt of his revolver. Until ten o'clock they mixed casually among the populace of Le Pas. Half a hundred people had seen Croisset and his beautiful companion, but no one knew anything about them.
Nevertheless, within six or seven miles of the town, along the course of the river as it flows onward to Croisset, Dieppedalle and Biessart, boat-men and fishermen often hauled to the surface of the water the body of a German, bloated in his uniform, killed by a blow from knife or club, his head crushed by a stone, or perchance pushed from some bridge into the stream below.
After that I shall abandon the bourgeois definitely. He is too difficult and on the whole too ugly. It will be high time to do something beautiful and that I like. What would please me well for the moment, would be to embrace you. When will that be? Till then, a thousand affectionate thoughts. LXXXIX. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croisset Paris, 10 September, 1868
Have you any sun today? Here it is stifling. The country is lovely. When will you come here? XIX. TO GEORGE SAND Croisset, Saturday evening, ... 1866 Good, I have it, that beautiful, dear and famous face!
Are they white men or Indians?" "The light is not right I can't decide," he said, after a moment's scrutiny. "If they are Indians " "They are friends," she interrupted. "Jean my Jean Croisset left me hiding here five days ago. He is part French and part Indian. But he could not be returning so soon. If they are white " "We will expose ourselves on the beach," he finished significantly.
"Oui, ma belle princesse," laughed Jean softly, a tender look coming into his thin, dark face. "And do you remember that other birthday, years and years ago, when you took advantage of Jean Croisset while he was sleeping? Non, you do not remember?" "Yes, I remember." "She was six, M'sieur," explained Jean, "and while I slept, dreaming of one gr-r-rand paradise, she cut off my moustaches.
He was sure that neither of them knew of Croisset or of the beautiful girl whom he had met at Prince Albert, which led him to believe that there were other characters in the strange plot in which he had become involved besides those whom he had encountered on the Great North Trail.
Non, since that fight back there I do not believe that I want to kill you." "But I would be a fool to trust you. Isn't that so?" "Not if I gave you my word. That is something we do not break up here as you do down among the Wekusko people, and farther south." "But you murder people for pastime eh, my dear Jean?" Croisset shrugged his shoulders without speaking.
