That had been quite enough to fire my ardour, and I wanted to be an artilleryman too. Just about the same time, my father was presented with a twelve- pounder howitzer by the Vincennes artillery, and Colonel de Caraman came to try it with us. We fired shots in the park, at the rising ground near Villiers, and my military enthusiasm was wrought up to the highest pitch.
"It would cause me great grief, but could not alter my resolution. I am young, Madame Caraman, very rich, and wish to enjoy life for once no one loves me " "Ah, Clary, you have a heart of gold," sobbed Madame Caraman. "Accompany me to Algeria, Madame Caraman; I need your consolation and comforting care. I go there to perform a good action." Madame Caraman looked keenly at Clary.
It is no wonder that sometimes she still clung to her painful ideas, and thought it not worth while to live, while Madame Caraman tried hard to teach her better principles. "You must have some kind of occupation," she said; "you must give your life some aim, some purpose." "But how? Nobody stands in need of me," sobbed Clary. "Oh, that is only your own belief, but it is not so.
If any accident happened to Esperance he felt in a measure responsible. Caraman and Coucon came in. They were in great trouble. "My good friends," said Fanfar, taking Madame's hand. She was sobbing fit to break her heart, while Coucon was gnawing the ends of his moustache, in order not to imitate her example. "My good friends, I do not yet believe that what Bobichel tells me is true.
The Baron de Roll, in the name of the Count d'Artois, and the Viscount de Caraman, in the name of Louis XVI., had possessed themselves of all the avenues to this cabinet. The Count de Goltz, ambassador from Prussia to Paris, had informed his court of the object of M. de Ségur's mission.
She visited in person the Count de Caraman, and one or two other nobles, who had already done something by their example to inoculate the Parisians with the new fashion.
Wharton disappeared, and Madame Caraman took advantage of her absence to ask a question. "Has Minnie changed much since that time?" "Oh, yes," replied the captain, his face lighting up with pleasure, "she has grown much handsomer." This was too much for Madame Caraman's composure, and, coughing loudly, she pressed a handkerchief to her lips and vanished through the door.
They heard in their ears like the tolling of a funeral bell, the words, "Too late! Too late!" If they had arrived in time they would certainly have prevented the catastrophe, but this was the result this motionless form with hands crossed on his breast. Coucon and Madame Caraman, down stairs, were weeping and watching.
"Monsieur Fanfaro brought us to his farm, where his wife, a charming woman, received us. Between ourselves, I do not think Fanfaro has ever been a rope-dancer. His manners and features show he must be of good family, and I am tempted to call him a second Monte-Cristo." This Fanfaro, as Madame Caraman had rightfully said, was a remarkably distinguished-looking gentleman.
"What does that mean?" asked Coucou, in affright. "I know," cried Carmen; "twenty-five knocks signify the letters of the alphabet!" "Then we must answer to show that we understand the language," said Madame Caraman. "Coucou quick twenty-five knocks." The Zouave did as he was told, and the answer came back in one knock which meant "yes." Nine further knocks followed. "I," said Carmen.
