That did injustice and this the artist also knew to the delicate nature of the bond uniting the different members of the house of Probert, who were each for all and all for each. Family feeling among them was not a tyranny but a religion, and in regard to Mesdames de Brecourt, de Cliche and de Douves what Gaston most feared was that he might seem to them not to love them enough.
But what was more touchingly candid even than this in Gaston's view was the attitude of the good gentleman and his daughters toward the others, Mesdames de Douves, de Brecourt and de Cliche and their husbands, who had now all filed before them.
M. de Douves was the person who took the family, all round, most seriously and who most deprecated any sign of crude or precipitate action.
And a sketch of our career in Paris, as they call it, and the way we've pushed and got on and our ridiculous pretensions. And a passage about Blanche de Douves, Raoul's sister, who had that disease what do they call it? that she used to steal things in shops: do you see them reading THAT? And how did he know such a thing? It's ages ago, it's dead and buried!"
Then Mme. de Cliche's grace stiffened, taking on a shade that brought back Francie's sense that she was the individual, among all Gaston's belongings, who had pleased her least from the first. Mme. de Douves was superficially more formidable, but with her the second impression was comparatively comforting. It was just this second impression of the marquise that was not.
Mme. de Brecourt paid them another visit, a real official affair as she deemed it, accompanied by her husband; and the Baron de Douves and his wife, written to by Gaston, by his father and by Margaret and Susan, came up from the country full of anxious participation.
