It's not her country," she added, "that makes a woman happy or unhappy." Madame Clairin, Euphemia's sister-in-law, might meanwhile have been supposed to have undertaken the graceful task of making Longmore ashamed of his uncivil jottings about her sex and nation.
But this I didn't feel free to do, and yet it made me so miserable not to be able to help her that I preferred to let our correspondence die a natural death. I had no news of her for a year. Last summer, however, I met at Vichy a clever young Frenchman whom I accidentally learned to be a friend of that charming sister of the Count's, Madame Clairin.
Chartran, who has an individual charm that both Baudry and Delaunay lack, inferior as he is to them in sweep and power, is perhaps in this respect midway between the two. Clairin is, like Mazerolles, a pure fantaisiste.
He sought him with frenzy amid the trees in the darkening wood, called to him, peered into the faces of the dying no answer! Ah! he must have been swept backwards by the rush of the retreat Clairin will find him again. Three days later the lost was found one among two hundred corpses of National Guards carted into Pere Lachaise.

Georges Deschamp, an amateur musician with a great deal of talent, tried to note down this Hofmannesque harmony, whilst my friend Georges Clairin, his back shaking with laughter, sketched the never-to-be -forgotten scene. The next day in London the chief topic of conversation was the Bedlam that had been let loose at 77 Chester Square.
At the same moment the servant threw open the door and announced dinner; Madame Clairin rustled in, rubbing her white hands, Madame de Mauves passed silently into the dining-room, but he remained outside outside of more things, clearly, than his mere salle-a-manger. Before long he went forth to the terrace and continued his uneasy walk.
