Ernest knows all the paths." A fantastic idea passed through Christophe's mind. "Perhaps they arrived first, and went away before we came!" Myrrha was lying on her back and looking at the sun. She was seized with a wild burst of laughter in the middle of her song and all but choked. Christophe insisted. He wanted to go down to the station, saying that their friends would be there already.
You must put on the opera you accepted before mine." The manager protested, began to laugh, refused, covered Christophe's character, work, genius, with flattery, and said that the other man's work was beneath contempt, and assured him that it was worthless and would not make a sou. "Why did you accept it then?" "One can't always do as one likes.
And therefore it is above all else the human art, the living art. Francoise's ideas were in accordance with Christophe's, who, at that stage in his career, was inclined towards a collective art, in communion with other men. Francoise's experience helped him to grasp the mysterious collaboration which is set up between the audience and the actor.
They published only a few lines about Christophe's other compositions, and they all said almost the same things: "... Knowledge of counterpoint. Complicated writing. Lack of inspiration. No melody. Written with the head, not with the heart. Want of sincerity.
Those who do not care slip through the meshes of the net: but those who are suspicious, those who are prudent, and forewarned, are never suffered to escape. It was not Christophe who was caught in the net of Paris, but Olivier. He had benefited by his friend's success: Christophe's fame had given him a reflected glory.
When he liked a symphony, it became a thing that he could take into his arms. He had a superficial culture and turned it to good account: his wife had been useful to him there. He was interested in Christophe because he saw in him a vigorous vulgarian such as he was himself. The frankness and rudeness of Christophe's remarks amused him. He was skeptic enough to admit their truth.
He stopped at that, stopped dead, with the book in his hands, shut; no expression in his eyes and his lips drawn down in bitterness. At last he said, as though he had once more forgotten Christophe's presence: "Ah! the worst misery of all is that there is not a single man who can understand you!" Christophe was racked with emotion.
"You think not?" "It is sure that he will not get there. Permission is refused always, Yes. The General is afraid lest a 'white' should find the buried money." "Christophe's treasure?" queried the boy, innocently.
The Klings and the Laubers also had had their hour of illumination: they had been advanced twenty years ago: and then like most people they had stopped short at that. Man has so little force that he is out of breath after the first ascent: very few are long-winded enough to go on. Christophe's attitude quickly alienated him from his new friends.
Colette said she ought first to have lessons in table-manners. Madame Stevens added that Christophe was not the person to go to for that. Grazia was glad to be scolded in Christophe's company. Christophe began to teach her.
