Cibot, I meant to leave all that I had to a cousin once removed, the daughter of my first cousin, President Camusot, you know, who came here one morning nearly two months ago."
Fraisier said to himself as he descended the staircase; "and what a sharp woman Mme. Camusot is! I should want a woman in these circumstances. Now to work!" And he departed for Mantes to gain the good graces of a man he scarcely knew; but he counted upon Mme.
I have promised that her Camusot shall have advancement, and I beg you above everything to help him on, for my sake." "You need no such recommendation," said the Duke to Madame Camusot. "The Grandlieus always remember a service done them.
Her object was to give no hold for criticism to the Marquise d'Espard or the Duchesse de Maufrigneuse, in a call so early as between eight and nine in the morning. Amelie Cecile Camusot, nee Thirion, it must be said, only half succeeded; and in a matter of dress is this not a twofold blunder?
