And he wears a lot of crosses on his breast! And he struts about at court instead of being bastinadoed! And the scoundrel is called Monsieur le Comte!" "There are many like him," said Bixiou. "After all," said Joseph, "the Rabouilleuse deserves her fate, whatever it is. She is not worth pitying; she'd have had my neck wrung like a chicken's without so much as saying, 'He's innocent."
He was pitiless to the companions of his former debauches, and curtly refused Bixiou when that lively satirist asked him to say a word in favor of Giroudeau, who wanted to re-enter the army after the desertion of Florentine. "The man has neither manners nor morals," said Philippe. "Ha! did he say that of me?" cried Giroudeau, "of me, who helped him to get rid of his uncle!"
"And take care what you say to him: he is neither barber, hair-dresser, nor wig-maker; he is a director of salons for hair-dressing," said Leon, as they went up a staircase with crystal balusters and mahogany rail, the steps of which were covered with a sumptuous carpet. "Ah ca! mind you don't compromise us," said Bixiou.
He stood very well with des Lupeaulx, whom he thought his friend, and they often breakfasted together. Bixiou posed as his mentor, and hoped to rid the division and France of the young fool by tempting him to excesses, and openly avowed that intention.
"Bixiou, you are dropping into phenomena, block us out our pictures," put in Couture. "Here you are, gentlemen! Here is the picture you ordered!"
One day at the Rocher de Cancale, before a number of well-bred persons who were supping there, Philippe had replied to Bixiou, who spoke of visiting him at the hotel de Brambourg: "You can come and see me when you are made a minister."
When the whole ministry is aroused your remonstrances will meet with general approval." Bixiou. "Dutocq believes in the principles of the grand air composed by the sublime Rossini for Basilio, which goes to show, by the bye, that the great composer was also a great politician.
"But, my most delightful customer," said du Tillet, "you were recommended to me; I am your banker; your innocence reflects on my credit." "Yes, tell me, you are a reasonable creature " said the Brazilian to the banker. "Thanks on behalf of the company," said Bixiou with a bow. "Tell me the real facts," Montes went on, heedless of Bixiou's interjection.
They cannot distinguish themselves one from the other; for them there is no 'I' left. Thou that is their Word made flesh. What can you do? Can you stop the course of this 'hidden disease of the heart'? There are fools that love without calculation and wise men that calculate while they love." "To my thinking Bixiou is sublime," cried Blondet. "What does Finot say to it?"
"Is it possible!" cried Gazonal. "Remember this," said Bixiou, gravely. "In Paris there is no such thing as a small business; all things swell to large proportions, down to the sale of rags and matches.
