Let me believe that the dead do not "search any more," and that they are at rest. We are sufficiently tormented on earth to be at rest when we are beneath it! Ah! How I envy you, how I long to have your serenity! To say nothing of the rest! and your two dear little girls, whom I embrace as tenderly as I do you. CCXCVI.

Those gay blades behave towards one like great lords, which is charming. I don't know if he is still director, or if the management has been given to the Berton, Laurent, Bernard company, do you? CXCII. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croissset Nohant, August, 1871 You want to see me, and you need me, and you don't come see me! That is not nice; for I too, and all of us here, sigh for you.
