"Pooh!" said little Baudraye, "the Duke of Bracciano, whom his wife puts into a cage, and to whom she shows herself every night in the arms of her lover, will kill her and do you call that revenge? Our laws and our society are far more cruel." "Why, little La Baudraye is talking!" said Monsieur Boirouge to his wife.
The Presidente Boirouge, furious at her son's discomfiture, forgot the praise she had lavished on the poem of Paquita, and fulminated terrific condemnation on the woman who could publish such a disgraceful work. "The wretched woman commits every crime she writes about," said she. "Perhaps she will come to the same end as her heroine!"
She made Gatien Boirouge write to the great physician Bianchon, whom he claimed as a cousin through the Popinots. Then she persuaded an old friend of the departed Madame Lousteau to stir up the journalist's ambitions by letting him know that certain persons in Sancerre were firmly bent on electing a deputy from among the distinguished men in Paris.
"It is quite intelligible," said President Boirouge; "the little man was very much startled, as I am told, at hearing that handsome young Milaud, the Attorney-General's deputy at Nevers, say to Monsieur de Clagny as they were looking at the turrets of La Baudraye, 'That will be mine some day. 'But, says Clagny, 'he may marry and have children. 'Impossible! So you may imagine how such a changeling as little La Baudraye must hate that colossal Milaud."
That is what is lacking in our Chambers, and what our country needs." Two or three young ladies, some of the younger men, and the elder women stared at Lousteau as if he were a mountebank. "Monsieur Gatien Boirouge declares that Monsieur Lousteau makes twenty thousand francs a year by his writings," observed the Mayor's wife to Madame de Clagny. "Can you believe it?" "Is it possible?
I understand that the festivities are over, the lovers have returned to the Bracciano Palace; it is night one o'clock in the morning. Rinaldo will have a good time." "And Adolphe too!" said President Boirouge, who was considered rather free in his speech. "And the style!" said Bianchon. "Rinaldo, who saw no better refuge than to make for the cellar."
