You'll fancy it saying things it won't help your case to hear. They'll make you sad, and when you're sad you'll grow plain, and when you're plain you'll grow bitter, and when you're bitter you'll be peu aimable. I was brought up to think that a woman's first duty is to be infinitely so, and the happiest women I've known have been in fact those who performed this duty faithfully.
At first, when Maitresse Aimable had told him that Guida was leaving the Place du Vier Prison to live in this lonely place with her newborn child, he had gone to entreat her to remain; but Maitresse Aimable had been present then, and all that he could say all that he might speak out of his friendship, out of the old love, now deep pity and sorrow was of no avail.
She herself seemed to read Maitresse Aimable all at once read her by virtue, and in the light, of true love, the primitive and consuming feeling in the breast of each for a man. Were not words necessary for speech after all? But here she stopped short suddenly; for if love might find and read love, why was it she needed speech of Philip?
He was for his time, and for his country, an adept at literary form; but he used it only as a means. Rien n'est beau que le vrai; le vrai seul est aimable, he quotes; he was a deliberate and diligent searcher after truth, always striving to attain the heart of things, to arrive at a knowledge of first principles.
They had scarce reached the deserted chapel where their dinner was to be cooked by Maitresse Aimable, when Ranulph called them to note a vessel bearing in their direction. "She's not a coasting craft," said Jean. "She doesn't look like a merchant vessel," said Ranulph, eyeing her through his telescope. "Why, she's a warship!" he added.
Guida's face crimsoned. What how much did Maitresse Aimable know? By what necromancy had this fat, silent fisher-wife learned the secret which was the heart of her life, the soul of her being which was Philip? She was frightened, but danger made her cautious. "Can you guess who it is?" she asked, without replying directly to the oblique charge.
And tell him, Il est l'homme le plus aimable du monde." "It is charming," said Hamilton, pinching his wife's chin. "It is like a frame. You never looked half so sweet." Betsey cooed with delight. Hamilton, having done his duty, was about to retire in good order, when he met his little daughter's eyes.
In Jersey phrase, he saw beyond his spectacles great brass-rimmed things, giving a droll, childlike kind of wisdom to his red rotund face. Having issued her invitation, Maitresse Aimable smiled placidly and seemed about to leave, when, all at once, without any warning, she lowered herself like a vast crate upon the veille, and sat there looking at Guida.
"Oh you weren't nothing for her!" the brooding youth declared; and when his sister rejoined that he was trop aimable he brought out his lurking fact. He had seen the lovely creature more often than he had mentioned; he had particularly wished that SHE should see her.
The conduct of Fouquier Tinville has led me to some reflections on a subject which I know the French consider as matter of triumph, and as a peculiar advantage which their national character enjoys over the English I mean that smoothness of manner and guardedness of expression which they call "aimable," and which they have the faculty of attaining and preserving distinctly from a correspondent temper of the mind.
