By far the larger number of them have their stage clothes made by a theatrical tailor, and only an occasional eccentric celebrity goes to Worth or Doucet to be dressed for a 'Juliet, a 'Tosca, or a 'Dona Sol.
One glance of his eyes in the direction of Aubrey Leigh, where he sat absorbed in conversation with the Comtesse Hermenstein, had put the wily priest in an excellent humour, and nothing could exceed the deferential homage and attention he paid to Cardinal Bonpre, talking with him in low, confidential tones of the affairs which principally occupied their attention, the miraculous cure of Fabien Doucet, and the defection of Vergniaud from the Church.
"Do you know what has happened to Doucet with those grapes? His eldest son is dead, poisoned. Do you understand now why we are anxious to know what has become of my grapes?" "But they ought to be out there on the table," said Michael. "No one can find them anywhere," declared Matrena, who, no less than Rouletabille, watched every change in the countenances of the two officers.
But I am trying my best to keep fast hold of our Lord, whatever the Church may do to me!" "Dear me!" said Cazeau blandly, turning with a smile and propitiatory air to Patoux who sat silently smoking, "Madame Doucet seems a little what shall we say? unduly excited?
And there was the dazzling thought of going to Felix or Doucet with credit unlimited. And he would the thought of him as it had always come to her keep on hurting with a hurt she could neither explain nor appease? Would he annoy her, enrage her perhaps, or even worse, tire her? He would be very much in earnest, of course, and so few men could be in earnest gracefully.
A considerable quantity of presents and supplies had been sent from Windsor to Fort Howe by the schooner Menaguash, Peter Doucet, master, to be given to the Indians blankets, shirts, blue and scarlet cloth, beaver bats, ribbons, powder and shot, and lastly, "one cask of wine sent by Mr. Francklin for the squaws and such men as do not drink rum."
And he brought him back and gave him his own bed to sleep in; and the lad is with him now." Little Fabien Doucet, leaning on his crutch, looked up with interest. "Is he lame like me?" he asked. "No, child," replied Madame compassionately "He is straight and strong. In truth a very pretty boy." Fabien sighed. Babette made a dash forward.
"She thinks nature itself is agog to see how the princesses receive Lucy," said Miss Vance indignantly. "One would suppose that the child was on trial." "So she is. Me, too," said Jean, wistfully regarding the bebe waist of the gown which Doucet had just sent her. "I must go as an ingenue. I don't play the part well!" "No, you do not," said Clara.
My sister, with her head in the basket, answered in her husky voice, "If you bother me, Monsieur, I shall tell every one that you are there to give out holy water that is poison. My aunt says so." My face turned purple with shame, and I stammered out, "Please do not believe that, Monsieur Doucet. My little sister is telling an untruth."
My dear, I am continually amazed at the way people are living whose incomes I know to the last sou. What an example for Jacqueline! Extravagance, fast living, elegant self-indulgence.... Did you observe the Baronne's gown? of rough woolen stuff. She told some one it was the last creation of Doucet, and you know what that implies!
