I soon found it an impossible one, and I laid the poems aside and commenced a volume redolent of the delights of Bougival and Ville d'Avray. This book was to be entitled "Poems of 'Flesh and Blood." "Elle mit son plus beau chapeau, son chapeau bleu" ...and then?
"No, I didn't see any name," said the little boy. "If this boat was moored at the quay," remarked M. Daburon, "it was probably noticed by the inhabitants of Bougival." "That is true, sir," approved the commissary. "Yes," said Gevrol, "and the sailors must have come ashore. I shall find out all about it at the wine shop. But what sort of a man was Gervais, the master, my little friend?"
They were both Bohemians by nature; they took excursions together to Argenteuil, Bougival, Maisons, and Poissy, and when he was forced to return and dine at Mme. Walter's, he detested his mature mistress more thoroughly, as he recalled the youthful one he had just left.
She was called La Bougival from the admitted impossibility of applying to her person the name that actually belonged to her, Antoinette for names and forms do obey the laws of harmony. The doctor's miserliness was not mere talk; it was real, and it had an object. From the year 1817 he cut off two of his newspapers and ceased subscribing to periodicals.
La Bougival, having been lectured on the subject, and being, moreover, too simple in mind and character to interfere, did nothing to injure the work of these great minds. Ursula, a privileged being, grew up with good geniuses round her; and her naturally fine disposition made the task of each a sweet and easy one.
Lavish with his money, the old fellow had gathered together a dozen detectives on leave or rogues out of work; and at the head of these worthy assistants, seconded by his friend Lecoq, he had gone to Bougival. He had actually searched the country, house by house, with the obstinacy and the patience of a maniac hunting for a needle in a hay-stack. His efforts were not absolutely wasted.
Others arrived incessantly; some from Chaton up the stream; others from Bougival down it; laughter crossed the water from one boat to another, calls, admonitions or imprecations.
At the end of the second year after his arrival La Bougival was the only servant in the house; on her discretion he knew he could count, and he disguised his real purposes by the all-powerful open reason of a necessary economy. To the great satisfaction of his heirs he became a miser.
Our path was suddenly crossed by a high road. To the right I perceived a town lying in a valley. What was this place? A man was passing. I asked him. He replied: "Bougival." I was dumfounded. "What, Bougival? Are you sure?" "Parbleu, I belong there!" The little woman burst into an idiotic laugh. I proposed that we should take a carriage and drive to Versailles. She replied: "No, indeed.
Many people to whom I have told the adventure have laughed at me. I no longer know what to think. The wise man says: Perhaps? July 21. I dined at Bougival, and then I spent the evening at a boatmen's ball. Decidedly everything depends on place and surroundings. It would be the height of folly to believe in the supernatural on the Ile de la Grenouilliere.
