This instance is one from among very many that must have gone to the mother's heart; and yet nearly all of them might have escaped a close observer, they consisted in faint shades of manner invisible to any but a woman's eyes. Take another example. Mme. d'Aiglemont happened to say one day that the Princesse de Cadignan had called upon her. "Did she come to see you!" Moina exclaimed.
Chance never exerted itself to make wiser preparations than those which opened the way to a meeting between d'Arthez and Madame de Cadignan. The princess is still considered one of the chief authorities on dress, which, to women, is the first of arts.
The Prince de Cadignan was drawing Monsieur Mignon out upon China, and his campaigns under the empire, and making him talk about the Portendueres, the L'Estorades, and the Maucombes, Provencal families; he blamed him for not seeking service, and assured him that nothing would be easier than to restore him to his rank as colonel of the Guard.
"Very good," said the Prince de Cadignan, proceeding to take Barry's report. Dogs and men became silent and respectful before the Royal Huntsman, as though each recognized his dignity as supreme. The prince laid out the day's work; for it is with a hunt as it is with a battle, and the Master of Charles X.'s hounds was the Napoleon of forests.
"No; I don't think so, but perhaps the name had something to do with it one never knows. But I always liked the street." "Which of his books is it like?" "Les Secrets de la Princesse de Cadignan" They laughed and kissed each other. "At the bottom of the street is the Avenue de Friedland; the tram passes there, and it will take you straight to Madame Savelli's."
There is no second performance of the same flash of wit." "And are we really so much deteriorated as these gentlemen think?" said the Princesse de Cadignan, addressing the women with a smile at once sceptical and ironical.
Now, when John arrived on the ground, he found himself forestalled by three other whippers-in, in charge of two of the royal packs of hounds which had been brought there in carts. They were the three best huntsmen of the Prince de Cadignan, and presented, both in character and in their distinctively French costume, a marked contrast to the representative of insolent Albion.
"Keep dinner back," said the lawyer's wife, remembering that the driver of the hackney coach that had brought her home was waiting to be paid. She put her bonnet on again, got into the coach, and in twenty minutes was at the Hotel de Cadignan. Madame Camusot was led up the private stairs, and sat alone for ten minutes in a boudoir adjoining the Duchess' bedroom.
"The ladies are fortunate in their weather," remarked the Duc de Rhetore. "Oh, in spite of all their boasting," replied the Prince de Cadignan, "I think they will let us hunt without them!" "So they might, if each had not a squire," said the duke.
When dinner was well under way, Maxime de Trailles turned to d'Arthez and said smiling: "You see a great deal, don't you, of the Princesse de Cadignan?" To this question d'Arthez responded by curtly nodding his head.
