About this time the household of the Duc and Duchesse de Berry was constituted. Racilly obtained the splendid appointment of first surgeon, and was worthy of it; but the Duchesse de Berry wept bitterly, because she did not consider him of high family enough. She was not so delicate about La Haye, whose appointment she rapidly secured. The fellow looked in the glass more complaisantly than ever.
Mother Coupeau continued to visit the two houses, agreeing with everybody and even managing to get asked oftener to dinner, by complaisantly listening one night to her daughter and the next night to her daughter-in-law. However, Madame Lerat did not go to visit the Coupeaus because she had argued with Gervaise about a Zouave who had cut the nose of his mistress with a razor.
The Emperor complaisantly affected to know no better, catching at every thing to keep up his hopes, when all at once the first snows fell. With them fell all the illusions with which he had endeavoured to surround himself. From that moment he thought of nothing but retreat, without, however, pronouncing the word, and yet no positive order for it could be obtained from him.
And during a half-hour he complaisantly related the astonishment that the fashionable women under his care had caused him, in spite of his knowledge and experience. "Well, to resume, what shall I tell you, young 'confrere'?" And he repeated and explained what he had already said and explained.
So saying, he very complaisantly showed him to the door; and our lover being diffident of his own temper, as well as afraid of being used with greater indignity, in a place where his personal prowess would only serve to heighten his disgrace, quitted the house in a transport of rage, which he could not wholly suppress, telling the landlord, that if his age did not protect him, he would have chastised him for his insolent behaviour.
He was a short, barrel-shaped man with curly ringlets, fat, bulging cheeks, heavy double chin and enormous paunch, and he wore a green worsted waistcoat and his fingers were laden with golden rings. "Ah!" said Mr. Tutt complaisantly. "You saw all that exactly as you have described it?" "Yes, sair!" "Where were you born?" "Acre, Syria." "How long have you been in the United States?" "Tirty years."
M. Gallois bowed complaisantly, and he smiled as amiably as if he never had put a hand in another man's pocket; but his glass was immediately turned towards the corvette, which now began to give him some little uneasiness. Manning us, indeed, with that fellow surging ahead at the rate he was, would have been quite out of the question.
Leading the cotillon last night has turned your head. Take my advice, however an old man's advice stick to your dancing. You understand that. Every man has his forte yours is the ballroom." Baldassare smiled complaisantly at this allusion to the swiftness of his heels. "Out of the ballroom," continued Trenta, eying him with quiet scorn, "I advise caution great caution.
Oh, Monsieur le Comte, it was not desertion, that is a cruel word, it was self-preservation and common prudence." "Well," said I, complaisantly, "you apply words better than I applied them. And how long have you been returned to England?" "Some few weeks, Count, not more.
This was soon told, and our present dilemma was not left unmentioned. "A friend in need is a friend indeed," says the proverb, and William echoed it, as Gregory very complaisantly informed us that, having just entered upon a store not far distant, he would be delighted to give us a shelter for a few nights.
