Do you think I want to see you forever in the mayor's office?" "Come, wife Colleville," said the former clarionet, tapping his knee to indicate the place he wished his wife to take. "Let us warm our toes and talk. When I look at you I am more than ever convinced that the youth of women is in their figure." "And in their heart." "Well, both," assented Colleville; "waist slender, heart solid "
But you must remember, my dear Baudoyer, to promote Monsieur Colleville; he is an object of great interest to his Eminence; in fact, I am desired to mention him to you." "If I am head of the division, I will make him head of one of my bureaus, if you want me to," said Baudoyer. "Monsieur le Baron de la Billardiere died this morning, after a long and painful illness.
Du Bruel is sent for to the ministry, and Dutocq also. Everybody is asking who will be appointed." Did you find that anagram, papa Colleville?" Colleville. "Yes, here it is." An administration which sets its best friends against itself, such men as those of the 'Debats, Chateaubriand, and Royer-Collard, is only to be pitied!"
Ever since the accession of Charles X., he had bestowed much thought on the king's anagram. Thuillier, who was fond of making puns, declared that an anagram was nothing more than a pun on letters. The sight of Colleville, a man of real feeling, bound almost indissolubly to Thuillier, the model of an egoist, presented a difficult problem to the mind of an observer.
That reply stung Madame Colleville, who regarded it as a barbed arrow. She cast a haughty glance at Felix and said to Celeste, "Sit there, my daughter," seating herself at the same time beside Madame Thuillier and pointing to a chair on the other side of her. "I will work myself to death," said Felix to Madame Thuillier.
The worthy Phellion wiped away a tear. Dutocq himself was moved. "Oh! the charming child!" cried Mademoiselle Thuillier, rising, and going round to kiss her sister-in-law. "My turn now!" said Colleville, posing like an athlete. "Now listen: To friendship! Empty your glasses; refill your glasses. Good! To the fine arts, the flower of social life! Empty your glasses; refill your glasses.
Felix left the house with Theodose and Flavie, whose arm the barrister pressed to let her know he would explain in the carriage the apparent dementia of the young professor. An hour later, Madame Colleville and Celeste, Colleville and Theodose were entering the Thuilliers' apartment to dine there. Theodose and Flavie took Thuillier into the garden, where the former said to him:
"I am ready," said Madame Colleville, appearing in a toilet of much taste. "But what is the matter with my poor daughter? She is crying!" "Crying? madame," exclaimed Felix; "please tell her that I will study 'The Imitation of Christ' at once."
"The influence of Monsieur le maire of an adjoining arrondissement, which is immense in ours where he has left such excellent memories; that of Monsieur Phellion, the oracle yes, let the truth be spoken," he exclaimed, noticing a gesture made by Phellion "the oracle of his battalion; the influence, no less powerful, which Monsieur Colleville owes to the frank heartiness of his manner, and to his urbanity; that of Monsieur Dutocq, the clerk of the justice court, which will not be less efficacious, I am sure; and the poor efforts which I can offer in my humble sphere of activity, are pledges of success, but they are not success itself.
The mother felt the necessity of keeping her under the eye of her godfather and godmother. She therefore very willingly adopted the proposal of Mademoiselle Thuillier, who, without committing herself to any engagement, allowed Madame Colleville to understand that the fortunes of her brother, his wife, and herself would go, ultimately, to the little Celeste.
