I read Balzac for instance I encounter the admirable portrait of Valérie Marneffe in La Cousine Bette." "And you contrast it with the poverty of Emile Augier's Séraphine in Les Lionnes Pauvres? I was awaiting you there. That's the cheval de bataille of you fellows." "What an extraordinary discussion! What dreadful authors!" Lady Agnes murmured to her son.
Moreover, he began at once with regrets that his family were absent, so that he was not in housekeeping, and could not entertain anyone. At a production of Emile Augier's Le Fils de Giboyer, at which all the foreign diplomatists were present, he, too, turned up.
In 1880 Émile Augier's admirable comedy, "L'Aventurière," was revived at the Comédie Française, and the author confided the part of Clorinde to Sarah Bernhardt.
The performances at the Theatre Francais lasted longer than they do now. In one evening you could see Gozlan's Tempete dans un verre d'Eau, Augier's Gabrielle, and Banville's Gringoire. When I had seen Mme. Favart and Regnier in Gabrielle, Lafontaine as Louis XI, his wife as Loyse, Mlle.
George Sand's village novels, in contrast with her novels on Marriage. The popular tone and the landscape drawing here, which, for that matter, are all derived from Rousseau, lead on into a tranquil idyl. Works like Ponsard's Lucrece and Augier's Gabrielle show the reaction from Romanticism. In the tragedy it is Lucrece, in the modern play, Gabrielle, upon whom the action hinges.
Witness our private galleries and the opera, but we say, like the parvenu in Emile Augier's delightful comedy Le Gendre de M. Poirier, "Patronize art? Of course! But the artists? Never!" And frankly, it would be too much, would it not, to expect a family only half a generation away from an iron foundry, or a mine, to be willing to receive Irving or Bernhardt on terms of perfect equality?
If we compare the 'League of Youth' with Scribe's 'Bertrand et Raton, or with Sardou's 'Rabagas'; if we compare the 'Pillars of Society' with Dumas's 'Étrangère, or Augier's 'Effrontés' we cannot fail to find a striking similarity of structure.
