So much was made of it that our doyen, M. Got, came to beg me not to make such a scandal, as it reflected on the Comedie Francaise. I listened to him in silence, and when he had finished I took his hands. "Come with me and I will show you the scandal," I said. I led the way into the garden, followed by my visitor and friends. "Let the cheetah out!"
I spent but three Sundays at home the whole time, and my records showed fifteen hundred miles covered with dogs. The Eskimo dog is so strong and enduring that he is the doyen of traction power in the North, when long distances and staying qualities are required.
A note was accordingly drawn up requesting the doyen of the Diplomatic Corps to fix a day to receive the Chinese Plenipotentiaries, who "were ready to begin negotiations and had prepared a proposal for discussion," which they enclosed.
The Abbé Picot had been appointed doyen of Goderville. Jeanne felt very sad at the thought of his departure; he was connected, in her thoughts, with all the chief events of her life, for he had married her, christened Paul, and buried the baroness.
Frederic Febvre pointed out to me that I ought to stay with the Comedie, because it would save money for me, and I was quite incapable of doing that myself. "Believe me," he said, "when we are with the Comedie we must not leave; it means our bread provided for us later on." Got, our doyen, then approached me. "Do you know what you are doing in sending in your resignation?" he asked.
'My dear sir, returned the doyen, 'it is a wine for an Emperor, and if I may be permitted to tell you so, its appearance is attributable to my presence here. It was a noble vintage, and the doyen grew eloquent over it. 'It is here in the Ardennes, he said, 'that you find the best Burgundy of the world.
There was a priest in the square, a young man with white hair and with a face as strong as one of those of the saints carved in stone, and as gentle. He was curé doyen of the Church of St. Jacques, M. Chanoine Frezet, and he explained the pools of blood.
In the Long Barrow of West Kennet, too, were found numerous fragments of pottery, and with these fragments boars' tusks longer than those of the boar of the present clay, the bones of sheep, goats, roedeer, pigs, and of a large species of ox, all of which are probably relics of a funeral feast. At a little distance from West Kennet the Rev. Doyen Merewether found several flint implements.
"After we had eaten for some little time, the doyen asked if the princesses might not be seated. The Empress Dowager first turned to the Emperor, and said, 'Your Majesty, please be seated'; then turning to the princesses and waving her hand, she told them to sit down. They sat down in a timid, rather uncomfortable way on the edge of the chair, but did not presume to touch any of the food.
Speaking of the latter, the I.G. one day remarked to Prince Ching, "I lost all my memoranda about it when the Inspectorate was burned down." "But you have your wonderful memory," the Prince replied, "and you must carry it through. I count upon you, remember." On Christmas Eve a great meeting was held at the Spanish Legation the Spanish Minister was doyen of the Diplomatic Corps at the time.
