It had been raining, but between the Rue Vanneau and the Rue Saint-Dominique Wenceslas had not got his boots soiled. "Here here are five thousand francs Chanor has been so generous as to lend me," said Wenceslas, to cut short this lawyer-like examination.

And then he added, "Though you take a rather cavalier tone with a man who has the honor to be an Assessor on the Tribunal of Commerce of the Department of the Seine." "Your pardon, Consul!" said Stidmann, with a military salute. "I am delighted," the Assessor went on, "to hear what you say. The man may make money then?" "Certainly," said Chanor; "but he must work.
I am going to design a service in the German style of the sixteenth century; the romantic style: foliage twined with insects, sleeping children, newly invented monsters, chimeras real chimeras, such as we dream of! I see it all! It will be undercut, light, and yet crowded. Chanor was quite amazed. And I wanted some encouragement, for the last article on Montcornet's monument had been crushing."
How much do you want?" "Well, five or six thousand francs." "I have but three thousand at the most," said Lisbeth. "And what is Wenceslas doing now?" "He has had an offer to work in partnership with Stidmann at a table service for the Duc d'Herouville for six thousand francs.

At this moment they heard voices; Stidmann and Wenceslas were seeing Chanor to the door; then Wenceslas and Stidmann came in again. Stidmann, an artist in vogue in the world of journalists, famous actresses, and courtesans of the better class, was a young man of fashion whom Valerie much wished to see in her rooms; indeed, he had already been introduced to her by Claude Vignon.
