Never did it occur to Costecalde's mind to sing the Bezuquets', or the Bezuquets to try Costecalde's. And yet you may believe that they ought to know by heart what they had been singing for two-score years! But, nay! everybody stuck to his own,and they were all contented. In ballad-singing, as in cap-popping, Tartarin was still the foremost.
They were handed down in families from father to son and nobody dared to interfere with them, they were sacrosanct. They were never even borrowed. It would never occur to the Bezuquets to sing the Costecaldes' song or to the Costecaldes to sing that of the Bezuquets.
Upon this Tartarin would sponge his brow, smile on the ladies, wink to the sterner sex, and withdraw upon his triumph to go remark at the club with a trifling, offhand air: "I have just come from the Bezuquets', where I was forced to sing 'em the duo from Robert le Diable." The cream of the joke was that he really believed it! IV. "They!"
Afterwards Tartarin wiped his forehead, smiled at the ladies, winked at the men and went off triumphantly to the club, where, with a casual air, he would say, "I've just come from the Bezuquets. They had me singing in the duet from Robert le Diable." What is more he believed it. It was to the possession of these various talents that Tartarin owed his high standing in the town.
