But Bianchon was already out of sight, so great was his haste to tell Despleins the wonderful news. Two hours later, Joseph's miserable sister-in-law was removed to the decent hospital established by Doctor Dubois, which was afterward bought of him by the city of Paris.
But I think, my friend now that you are started in so promising a way, with such great and noble hearts for your companions, that you can hardly fail to reach the greatness to which you were born, aided as you are by intelligence almost divine in Daniel d'Arthez and Michel Chrestien and Leon Giraud, and counseled by Meyraux and Bianchon and Ridal, whom we have come to know through your dear letter.
Bianchon and Rastignac were right; when a man can join the grandeurs of the ideal and the enjoyments of human passion in loving a woman of perfect manners, of intellect, of delicacy, it must be happiness beyond words." So thinking, he sounded the love that was in him and found it infinite.
"A physician of your celebrity must know that at that age a man is still hale and strong." "Then you are in waiting on a lady, I suppose," replied Horace Bianchon. "You are not, I imagine, in the habit of going about Paris on foot. When a man keeps such fine horses " "Still, when I am not visiting in the evening, I commonly return from the Courts or the club on foot," replied the Count.
"Oh, Rastignac! what brought you into that boat, I wonder?" exclaimed Bianchon. "Ah, we are used to seeing these little family conspiracies," said Popinot. "Not a year passes without a number of verdicts of 'insufficient evidence' against applications of this kind.
"From what Meyraux has been telling us, recovery seems impossible," answered Bianchon. "Medicine has no power over the change that is working in his brain." "Yet there are physical means," said d'Arthez. "Yes," said Bianchon; "we might produce imbecility instead of catalepsy." "Is there no way of offering another head to the spirit of evil? I would give mine to save him!" cried Michel Chrestien.
"Poor fellow!" said Bianchon, "unluckily he has no money, and he rushes round like the devil in holy water That is all."
"You would not say that if you thought that there was no harm in it," said Bianchon. "I could have wished Lucien a Beatrice," said d'Arthez, "a noble woman, who would have been a help to him in life " "But, Daniel," asked Lucien, "love is love wherever you find it, is it not?" "Ah!" said the republican member, "on that one point I am an aristocrat.
It is surely a worthy task to bring back light to a soul in which it is scarcely veiled; and the existing bond of relationship has seemed to me to point you out as specially designated to effect this cure, the success of which Bianchon and two other eminent doctors who have consulted with him declare to be beyond a doubt.
"Pooh!" said Bianchon, "the inventions of romances and play-writers are quite as often transferred from their books and pieces into real life, as the events of real life are made use of on the stage or adapted to a tale. I have seen the comedy of Tartufe played out with the exception of the close; Orgon's eyes could not be opened to the truth."
