"I may as well go across to Camus..." Francoise would hazard, seeing that my aunt had no longer any intention of sending her there. "No, no; it's not worth while now; it's certain to be the Pupin girl. My poor Francoise, I am sorry to have made you come upstairs for nothing."
A deputy, whose sentiments were known to her, took upon himself to find me out. We were taken into an office, where we wrote down our names and places of abode, and we received tickets for admission into the rooms belonging to Camus, the keeper of the Archives, where the King was with his family.
He did not understand them, but he bore them no ill will on that account. He liked to call himself old-fashioned, it made him feel superior, and there are many in the world like him, who pride themselves on their lack of comprehension. For we must all plume ourselves as we can; some of us on what we have, others on what we have not. Camus was willing to admit that Clerambault could write.
This lady was the daughter of Nicholas de Camus, who arrived in Paris with twenty francs in his pocket, became secretary of state, and accumulated wealth enough to divide nine millions of francs among his children and to keep an income of forty thousand for himself.
And now our work is done.... The object has been to make John Peter Camus known as he really was, and to cleanse his memory from the stains cast upon it by the jarring passions of his contemporaries.
He was fond of using the title in his proclamations; and to the last the allowance attached to the appointment figured in the Imperial accounts. He showed a deep sense of this honour, and wrote the following letter to Camus; the president of the class: CITIZEN PRESIDENT The suffrage of the distinguished men who compose the institute confers a high honour on me.
At last, in 1628, Camus finally decided to give up his Episcopal charge to one who was indeed worthy of such a dignity. This was Jean de Passelaigne, Abbot of Notre Dame de Hambic, Prior of St. Victor of Nevers, and of La Charite-sur-Loire, Vicar-General of the Order of Cluny.
The Romans did not kill Tarquin; the Romans had a well ordered republic and good laws; they had neither a Jacobin club nor a revolutionary tribunal. We live in a time of anarchy. Tigers wish for my head; I will not give it them." "Citizen general," said Camus then, "will you obey the decree of the national convention, and repair to Paris?" "Not at present."
My first thought had been, much as I disliked him, to ask Camus to help me in dressing the wound; but upon consideration, and chiefly, after I had heard Le Brusquet address his friend as "Monseigneur," I deemed it preferable that I should see to it myself. I had some experience in these things.
He wrote in all about 200 volumes, 50 of these being romances. In the latter, which drew down upon him such storms of bitter invective, owing to his freedom of language in treating of the vices against which he was warning his readers, we do not pretend to admire his work, but must remind readers that his style was that of the age in which he lived, and that Camus was essentially a Parisian.
