Yet everything that she wrote is marked by that richness, delicacy and power of style and of thought which constitutes her genius. "Consuelo," which appeared in 1844, is typical of all these in its sparkling dialogue, flowing narrative, and vivid description. George Sand died on June 7, 1876. I. In Venice
Spicca might have spoken the words thoughtlessly, it was true, and believing that Orsino would never, under any circumstances whatever, think seriously of marrying Maria Consuelo. But Spicca was not a man who often spoke carelessly, and what he said generally meant at least as much as it appeared to mean. It was doubtless true that Maria Consuelo was ignorant of her mother's name.
When I am gone, you will bring to me the berry to grow upon my tomb, Pancho; the berry you have picked for me. The little flower will come too, the little star will arrive, but Consuelo, who lofe you, she will come not more! When you are happy and talk in the road to the Essmith, you will not think of me.
When he thought of his last meeting with Maria Consuelo he hated himself for the part he had played, though he was quite unable to account logically, upon his assumed principles, for the severity of his self-condemnation. Orsino necessarily led a monotonous life, though, his occupation was an absorbing one. Very early in the morning he was with Contini where the building was going on.
A look of supreme happiness flashed over the deathly features, followed by an expression of pain. "Why did you marry him?" he asked in tones so loud that Orsino started, and Maria Consuelo looked up with streaming eyes. She did not answer, but tried to soothe him, rising and caressing his hand, and smoothing his pillows. "Tell me why you married him!" he cried again. "I am dying I must know!"
From the first the whole household treated Consuelo with every kindness, and Amelia very soon confided in her new friend all that she knew of the family history, explaining that her cousin Albert was certainly mad. Albert himself seemed unaware of Consuelo's presence until one day when he heard her sing.
"The world is made for us, and we must accept it. But we may criticise it. There is nothing to the contrary in the contract." "In the social contract? Are you going to talk to me about Jean-Jacques?" "Have you read him, Madame?" "'No woman who respects herself " began Maria Consuelo, quoting the famous preface. "I see that you have," said Orsino, with a laugh. "I have not." "Nor I."
Besides, your father would let you do as you please. There is nothing dishonourable in such things. The prejudice against business is old-fashioned, and if you do not break through it your children will." Orsino looked thoughtfully at Maria Consuelo. She sometimes found an oddly masculine bluntness with which to express her meaning, and which produced a singular impression on the young man.
The Princess was distracted with grief and beside herself with anxiety. Remember that I loved her that explains what I did. I proposed the plan which was carried out and with which you are acquainted. I took the child, declared it to be mine, and married Lucrezia. The only legal documents in existence concerning Maria Consuelo prove her to be my daughter.
Brunetiere specifies the Marquis de Villemer as the one proved example of imitation. But this novel was written in 1861, eleven years after Balzac's death; and, in so far as it differs from Mauprat and the earlier books, whether La Petite Fadette or Consuelo, can be shown to be the result of a natural and independent evolution.
