Since the day of Mr. Brummell and King George, the noble art of self-adornment had fallen partially desuete. Great fops like Bulwer and le jeune Cupidon had come upon the town, but never had they formed a school. Dress, therefore, had become simpler, wardrobes smaller, fashions apt to linger.
By her who speaks has it been stated, that she at that time gained naturally the fields by the street door after vespers, enveloped in the robes of Jehan de Marsilis, visitor of the convent, who had hidden her, the person speaking, in a little hovel belonging to him, situated in the Cupidon Lane, near a tower in the town.
In a gay French company, where every one sang a little song or stanza, of which the burden was "Bannissons la Melancolie," when it came to his turn to sing, after the performance of a young lady that sat next him, he produced these extemporary lines "Mais cette voix, et ces beaux yeux, Font Cupidon trop dangereux, Et je suis triste quand je crie Bannissons la Melancolie."
So it is always in my power, apparently without taking the slightest interest in Afy's conduct, to regulate it as I will. At present she believes that my affairs are in a distracted state, and that I intend to reside solely on the Continent, and to bear her off from her Cupidon. This thought haunts her rest, and hangs heavy on her waking mind. I think it will do the business.
Don't talk to me of Kapiton, he's Cupidon! Then Malania Pavlovna would be all of a flutter and say: 'Alexis, Alexis, it's too bad of you! In your young days you flirted, I've no doubt, with all sorts of misses and madams and so now you imagine.... 'Come, that's enough, that's enough, my dear Malania, Alexey Sergeitch interrupted with a smile.
"Ah! qu'il est heureux. Et Cupidon ou est-il?" "Il est ici au coin, madame. Il boude." "Qu'est-ce qu'il a fait donc?" "Ah, madame! Il a vole le dindon roti, et l'a tout mange." "Ah, le petit polisson! Venez ici, Cupidon."
With the energy of anger and despair Lady Anne made an effort to reach the bell-cord but it missed the cord swung Petcalf ran to catch it, and stumbled over a stool English Clay stood still and laughed French Clay exclaimed, "Ah! mon Dieu! Cupidon!" Count Altenberg saved Cupid from falling, and rang the bell.
The man glanced up, set his forefinger between the pages of his book, and turned on me a long sallow face and a pair of the most beautiful brown eyes in the world. "Little boy," he said, in a quick foreign way "rosy little boy. You laugh at my geese, eh?" No doubt I stared at him like a ninny, for he went on "Little wide-mouthed Cupidon, how you gaze! Also, by the way, how you smell!"
Cupidon, the little negro-boy, we have before mentioned, as sitting in the corner of the room, walked up with a very deliberate pace to the side of the ottoman, his two thick lips sticking out about six inches in advance of the remainder of his person. "Cupidon," said the lady, turning a little on one side to speak to him, "tu as mange le dindon entier. Tu as mal fait, mon ami. Tu seras malade.
Cupidon turned short round without reply, and walked back to his corner with the same deliberate pace as before, when he came out of it.
