This verdant country-seat owes its origin to a farmer-general of the good old times, a certain Bergeret, celebrated for his originality; who among other fantastic dandyisms adopted the habit of going to the opera, with his hair powdered in gold; he used to light up his park for his own solitary delectation and on one occasion ordered a sumptuous entertainment there, in which he alone took part.
Hilda Wangel, Nora, Hedda Sir Robert would never even have spoken to such baggages! Mon sieur Bergeret an amiable weak thing! D'Artagnan a true swashbuckler! Tom Jones, Faust, Don Juan we might not even think of them: And those poor Greeks: Prometheus shocking rebel. OEdipus for a long time banished by the Censor.
"A very great one, my aunt." "I do not grasp it." Monsieur Bergeret, who was not opposed to digressions, answered his daughter: "If all injustices were finally redressed in the world, one would never have imagined another for these adjustments. How do you expect posterity to pass righteous judgment on the dead? How question them in the shades to which they have taken flight?
Messieurs Goubin and Jean Marteau having arrived, Monsieur Bergeret put them in touch with the conversation. "We were speaking of him whom my mother caused to be born gardener at Saint-Omer and whom she christened. He existed from that time on." "Dear master, will you kindly repeat that?" said Monsieur Goubin, wiping the glass of his monocle. "Willingly," replied Monsieur Bergeret.
But neither will the term "a work of Art" be denied to the same writer's four "Bergeret" volumes, whose negative finality consists only in the temperamental atmosphere wherein they are soaked.
"He was evil," replied Monsieur Bergeret; "he was, in a way, but not absolutely. It was true of him as with those devils that are called wicked, but in whom one discovers good qualities when one associates with them. And I am disposed to think that injustice has been done Putois.
Putois was remarkable in this, that while we knew him and were familiar with him, nevertheless " " He did not exist," said Zoe. Monsieur Bergeret looked at his sister with an air of reproach. "What a speech, Zoe! and why break the charm like that? Do you dare say it, Zoe? Zoe, can you prove it?
The French now have several officers who are experienced practical men, in whom the navy has great confidence, as, Admirals Duperré, Hugon, Rosamel, Lalande, Beaudin, Roussin, Bergeret, Mackau, Casey, etc., all of whose names have been before the public in different affairs in which they have created their present reputation.
Towards evening the Concorde and Amazon had been run out of sight, but the Indefatigable gained upon the chase, which made the most strenuous efforts to escape, and was manoeuvred with no common ability. She was the 40-gun frigate Virginie, one of the finest and fastest vessels in the French marine, and commanded by Captain Jaques Bergeret, a young-officer of the highest character and promise.
At this, Mademoiselle Bergeret, laughing, rejoined; "Do you recall, Lucien, when our father could not find his ink, his pens, his sealing-wax, his scissors, he said: 'I suspect Putois has been here'?" "Ah!" said Monsieur Bergeret, "Putois had not a good reputation." "Is that all?" asked Pauline. "No, my daughter, it is not all.
