She followed them into her salons, into her boudoirs, a blue feather-brush in hand, lightly dusting the 'etageres', the 'jardinieres', the 'consoles'. She arranged one piece of furniture and removed another, put flowers in a vase-gliding about and singing like a bird in a cage. Her husband sometimes amused himself in following her with his eye in these household occupations.
"I wanted to be above board about it even if I am an adventurer." "What did he say? How could you put it in a telegram?" "Red consoles marooned sweet post delayed." "Dear me! What gibberish is that?" "It's from our private code. It means, 'Going to marry your daughter if she is willing. With your consent, I hope." "And he answered? I'll take the English version, please." "'Consent refused.
What consoles me is that the statue of the future will issue from it. It required such a brazier to melt such a bronze. July 5, 1848. Chateaubriand is dead. One of the splendours of this century has passed away. He was seventy-nine years old according to his own reckoning; according to the calculation of his old friend M.

One side could have a desk which opens beneath the glass doors, and the other could have cupboards, both presenting exactly the same appearance when closed. Fitted corner cupboards, triangular or rounded, are also excellent in certain dining rooms. Wall tables, or consoles, may be of the same wood as the woodwork or of marble, or of some dark polished wood.

Ever on the lookout for those obstinate inventors who are starving to death in their garrets, he appears to them at the hour of supreme crisis: he pities them, encourages them, consoles them, helps them, and almost always succeeds in becoming the owner of their discovery. Sometimes he makes a mistake; and then all he has to do is to put a few thousand francs to the debit of profit or loss.
She had furnished it with rare taste, in half Byzantine and half Hindoo fashion a long divan running along the wall, covered with gray silk striped with garnet; Persian rugs cast here and there at random; paintings by Petenkofen Hungarian farms and battle-scenes, sentinels lost in the snow; two consoles loaded with books, reviews, and bric-a-brac; and a round table with Egyptian incrustations, covered with an India shawl, upon which were fine bronzes of Lanceray, and little jewelled daggers.
"No; the singing of the swan soothes and consoles. Hark again to it." "Oh, it is divine, Julie, and creeps into my heart, filling me with comfort and exquisite peace." "I doubt not, mademoiselle, that the maiden came to this lake to cheer your sorrowful spirit, and to give you surety that neither you nor your lover stand in danger." "Ah, Julie; it is so sweet to think this.
They have the same, if not an exaggerated, gorgeousness of bad taste, the same plethora of ostentatious "luxuries" that add nothing to the real comfort of the man of refinement, the same pier glasses in heavy gilt frames, the same marble consoles, the same heavy hangings and absurdly soft carpets.
