Bixiou, Leon de Lora, Lousteau, Florine, Mademoiselle Heloise Brisetout, and Nathan, supping one evening with the notorious Carabine, with a large party of lions and lionesses, had invented this name with an excessively burlesque explanation.
Florine was jealous of her, and Florine was as dangerous and depraved as Coralie was simple and generous. Roles must come to find Coralie; she was too proud to implore authors or to submit to dishonoring conditions; she would not give herself to the first journalist who persecuted her with his advances and threatened her with his pen.
That shows how much you know about the affairs of a man whom you say you love, and who leaves you without a penny, and kills himself, or, rather, doesn't kill himself, for his misses it. Suicides that don't kill are about as absurd as a duel without a scratch." "That's a lie," said Florine. "He dined with me that very day.
Some day, instead of living with Florine at the expense of a druggist who gives himself the airs of a lord, I shall be in a house of my own; I shall be on the staff of a leading newspaper, I shall have a feuilleton; and on that day, my dear fellow, Florine will become a great actress.
"I should have much wished to pay my respects to Mdlle. de Cardoville," said Agricola; "but I feared to intrude." "My lady is not quite well, sir," said Florine, "and receives no one to day. I am sure, that as soon as she is better, she will be quite pleased to see you."
The latter thus learned how she had been continually betrayed by Florine, and also the cause of the sewing-girl's abrupt departure. At these revelations, Adrienne felt her affection and tender pity for the poor sempstress greatly increase. By her command, the most active steps were taken to discover traces of the hunchback; but Florine's confession had a still more important result.
"No, no, my lad," broke in Jerome's hearty reassurance, "not a bit, just worn and starved out. Truly, boy, you had a rough adventure. By 'Od's blood, I'd hate to have the like! Has he taken any food Florine?" "Nothing but the wine, and a sup or two of broth.
As for her visit to the lodge in the Rue de Babylone, it will be explained presently. She rang the bell timidly; a few minutes after, Florine opened the door to her. The waiting-maid was no longer adorned after the charming taste of Adrienne; on the contrary, she was dressed with an affectation of austere simplicity.
I see!" cried Blondet. "The little cheat has sold herself out without a word to us. Well done, you little angel!" Thereupon, the actress was borne in triumph into the dining-room where most of the party still remained. The lawyer and du Tillet had departed. That evening Florine had an ovation at the theatre; the story of her sacrifice had circulated among the audience.
When she plays, an actress can live no life of her own; she can neither dress, nor eat, nor talk. Florine often has no time to sup.
