Antoine Barbier, an archer, said that the marquise at table took up a glass as though to drink, and tried to swallow a piece of it; that he prevented this, and she promised to make his fortune if only he would save her; that she wrote several letters to Theria; that during the whole journey she tried all she could to swallow pins, bits of glass, and earth; that she had proposed that he should cut Desgrais' throat, and kill the commissary's valet; that she had bidden him get the box and burn it, and bring a lighted torch to burn everything; that she had written to Penautier from the Conciergerie; that she gave him, the letter, and he pretended to deliver it.
Was it that, apart from the influence of heredity, the young fellow's moral perception at this time was not ethical at all, but aesthetic a matter of taste, of the presence or absence of certain ideal and poetic elements in conduct? At any rate his friendship for old Barbier drew closer and closer, and Ancrum, who had begun to feel a lively affection for him, could see but little of him.
The Mountaineers' club again demands that Louis Blanc and I be added to the Government in order to direct it. I continue to refuse. There are at present twelve members of the French Academy in Paris, among them Segur, Mignet, Dufaure, d'Haussonville, Legouve, Cuvillier-Fleury, Barbier and Vitet. Moon. Intense cold. The Prussians bombarded Saint Denis all night.
Barbier declared that he had always known it, had always realised something in David distinct from the sluggish huckstering English temper. Why, David's mother was from the south of France; his own family came from Carcassonne. No doubt the rich Gascon blood ran in both their veins. Salut au compatriole! Thenceforward there was a greater solidarity between the two than ever.
'David, he said, laying his hand with a timid gesture on the other's shoulder, 'Barbier has had some letters from Paris to-day the last he will get probably and among them a letter from his nephew. David started, turned sharp round, shaking off the hand. 'It contains some news which Barbier thinks you ought to know. Mademoiselle Elise Delaunay has married suddenly married her cousin, Mr.
Thirteen judges met the Bishop and the Inquisitor to discuss the question. Of these the following were against applying torture: Maîtres Roussel, Venderès, Marguerie, Erard, Barbier, Gastinel, Coppequesne, Ledoux, De la Pierre, Haiton, and Lemaîstre.
An old gentleman exclaimed: "That is a great idea, monsieur, which does you honor. It is to be regretted that the government did not adopt it." A young man declared that actors ought to recite the "Iambes" of Barbier through the streets in order to teach the people art and liberty simultaneously. These propositions excited general enthusiasm. Each one wished to have his word; all were wrought up.
I think I could make something out of him; but he wants all sorts of rum things last-century memoirs, out-of-the-way ones everything about Montaigne first editions Lord knows what! I say, Barbier, I dare say he'd buy your books. What'll you let me have them for? 'Diantre! Not for your heart's blood, my young man. It's like your impudence to ask. You could sell more if you knew more, you think?
In this connection he mentions a young woman who, when suffering from intense sick headache, exhaled an odor resembling that of Limburger cheese. Barbier met a case of disordered innervation in a captain of infantry, the upper half of whose body was subject to such offensive perspiration that despite all treatment he had to finally resign his commission.
