Baader, who in his lectures eliminated things divine by erotic imagery, had no doubt observed, like some Catholic writers, the intimate resemblance between human and heavenly love. This distress of mind cast a hue of melancholy over the pleasure the young Venetian felt in his mistress' presence.
"Cancale spéciale will charm you; ze coast it is so immediately flat, and ze life of ze sea charmante. Nevare at Paramé, always at Cancale." So we drove on. The governor pacified but anxious only succumbing at my argument that Bäader knew all Normandy thoroughly, and that an old courier like him certainly could be trusted to select a hotel.
She was much insulted; she make ze bad face. She say with much indignation: 'Monsieur, since I was a baby ze water has not touched my body. At ze supreme moment, when all hope was gone, I discover near ze house of ze same madame this grand arrangement. Immediately I am on fire, and say to myself, 'Bäader, all is not lost.
Flamand is so very far away, and ze ascent up ze cliffs difficile. If monsieur will be so good, zare is a café near by where it is quite posseeble to dine." Relieved of the governor's constant watchfulness Bäader became himself. He bustled about the restaurant, called for "Cancale spéciale," a variety of oysters apparently entirely unknown to the landlord, and interviewed the chef himself.

An hour, perhaps, had elapsed when Bäader, with uncovered head and beaded with perspiration, the two locks of hair hanging limp and straight, stood before me. "What was the matter with the governor, Bäader? No hotel after all?"
When it was over, Bäader had been served in an adjoining apartment, there remained not the amount mentioned in a former out-of-door feast, but sufficient to pack at least one basket, in this case a paper box, the drumsticks being stowed below, dunnaged by two rolls, and battened down with fragments of cheese and three apricots. "What's this for, Bäader? Have you not had enough to eat?"
