Je vous presenterai specialement a M. Franck, qui, sur ma demande, a ete votre rapporteur, et qui a parle de vous en termes excellents. From the Duc d'Aumale he received, a few days later: Bruxelles, 31 mai. Je ne doutais pas du bon accueil qui vous serait fait a l'Institut, et je suis ravi d'en recevoir le temoignage par votre lettre.
My poor little wife was on my arm, and we were tripping away, laughing at the fellow's accueil, when we came upon my lady in a street stoppage in her chair. I took off my hat and made her the lowest possible bow. I affectionately asked after my dear cousins. "I I wonder you dare look me in the face!" Lady Warrington gasped out.
As I am not easily frightened, I was puzzled by this. After thinking it over, I was convinced that it was because she had a hard nut to crack within herself: she possessed a jealous, passionate, youthful temperament, a formidable standard of right and wrong, a distinguished and rather stern accueil, a low, slow utterance and terrifying sincerity.
Another, more charitable, said: "I daresay no one told her that the Prince of Wales was coming. ... Poor child! What a shame!" And finally a man said: "There is nothing so odd as the passion some people have for self- advertisement; it only shows what it is to be intellectual!" At that moment our hostess came up to us with a charming accueil.
Bob grows every day more and more attached to him, but I cannot dawdle him as Horry Walpole does Tonton, for Me du Deffand's sake, nor does he seem to expect it. He has the accueil of a respectable old suisse in my hall, where I meet him on coming home in a posture couchante. Adieu; till I have letters, remember me kindly to all, but to the dear children in particular.
Nothing could be more gracious than the accueil of this lady. She paid me many handsome compliments about my literary work asked most affectionately for dear Mrs. Pendennis and the dear children and then, as I expected, coming to business, contrasted the happiness and genteel position of my wife and family with the misery and wrongs of her own blessed child and grandson.
