"Monsieur le comte, don't give him your daughter until you have made every inquiry; interrogate his former comrades, Bixiou, Giroudeau, and others." Three months later, the Comte de Brambourg gave a supper to du Tillet, Nucingen, Eugene de Rastignac, Maxime de Trailles, and Henri de Marsay.
"We'll take Paris as an artist takes his violoncello, and show you how it is played, in short, how people amuse themselves in Paris." "It is a kaleidoscope with a circumference of twenty miles," cried Gazonal. "Before piloting monsieur about, I have to see Gaillard," said Bixiou. "But we can use Gaillard for the cousin," replied Leon. "What sort of machine is that?" asked Gazonal.
"That," said Blondet, "is a regular Bixiou opinion." "No doubt; and well-founded it is. Do you know the man?" "No; he is never seen anywhere." "Exactly; he is a bear, but a premeditated bear; a reflecting and determined bear." "I don't see," said Joseph Bridau, "why this savage inclination for solitude should be so bad for an artist.
I shall be sorry for him, though." Bixiou. He's rich; his wife gives parties and doesn't ask me, me, who go everywhere! Henry. "You are so rich, you!" Bixiou. "Not bad, my Cincinnatus! But you'll give me that dinner at the Rocher de Cancale." Poiret. "It is absolutely impossible for me to understand Monsieur Bixiou."
"Your cousin wears the cross, but I'm the better dressed of the two, and it is I whom people are looking at." "My dear fellow," said Bixiou to Gazonal, pointing to the splendors of the show-window, "Vital has forty thousand francs a year from invested property." "And he stays a hatter!" cried the Southerner, with a bound that almost broke the arm which Bixiou had linked in his.
"Well," cried Vernou, "is Coralie's kept man likely to be so very particular?" "Oh!" replied Bixiou, "those thousand francs prove to me that our friend Lucien lives with La Torpille " "What an irreparable loss to literature, science, art, and politics!" exclaimed Blondet.
He was seized with a horrible delirium of fever, and began to rave. Joseph, assisted by old Desroches, who had come back, and by Bixiou, carried him to his room. Doctor Haudry was obliged to write a line to the Hopital de la Charite and borrow a strait-waistcoat; for the delirium ran so high as to make him fear that Philippe might kill himself, he was raving. At nine o'clock calm was restored.
"It shall not take place!" said the witty artist to himself. Among the many old friends whom Philippe now refused to recognize, there were some, like Giroudeau, who were unable to revenge themselves; but it happened that he had wounded Bixiou, who, thanks to his brilliant qualities, was everywhere received, and who never forgave an insult.
Esther is well known to Finot, Bixiou, and des Lupeaulx, in fact to all our set. Ah! if there were any real fortunes left in France, she would be the greatest courtesan of modern times. Tullia is with the Duc de Rhetore, Mariette is still with the Duc de Maufrigneuse; between them, they will get your sentence remitted in time for the King's fete.
But first, we must remove the Comtesse de Brambourg to the private hospital of Doctor Dubois, in the rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis. She will be well cared for there. Then I will summon the count for the restoration of the conjugal home." "Bravo, Desroches!" cried Bixiou. "What a pleasure to do so much good that will make some people feel so badly!"
