<b>FAUVEAU, FÉLICIE DE.</b> Second-class medal at Florence in 1827, when she made her début by exhibiting a statue, "The Abbot," and a group, "Queen Christine and Monaldeschi." Born in Florence, of French parents, about 1802. For political reasons she was forced to leave Florence about 1834, when she went to Belgium, but later returned to her native city. Among her best works are "St.
Pierquin therefore returned to his allegiance, with the secret intention of making the necessary sacrifices to conclude a marriage which should realize all his ambitions. He kept company with Balthazar and Felicie during Marguerite's absence; but in so doing he discovered, rather late in the day, a formidable competitor in Emmanuel de Solis.
Meanwhile, we will resume our pleasant habits of the Rue des Martyrs. You remember, Félicie; we were so happy there! The bed wasn't wide, but we used to say: "That doesn't matter." I have now two fine rooms in the Rue de la Montagne-Saint-Geneviève, behind Saint-Étienne-du-Mont. Your portrait hangs on every wall. You will find there the little bed of the Rue des Martyrs.
I called on the little princess." "Of course." "And, Aunt Felicie, her father is lost at sea, and she is caring for all those little ones, alone." "Ah, the poor child! Is she then born to trouble, as the sparks do fly upward? Are they very, very poor, Robert?"
Her own daughter had fallen foul of the ill-will of certain critics. "Half-past twelve!" said Chevalier gloomily. "Félicie is late." Madame Nanteuil supposed that she had been detained by Madame Doulce. "Madame Doulce as a rule undertakes to see her home, and you know she never hurries herself." Chevalier rose, as if to take his leave, to show that he remembered his manners.
When I am at home I shall receive you both with the greatest of pleasure, but when Felicie is here alone with Josette and Martha, I need not tell you that she ought to see no one, not even an old friend or the most devoted of relatives. Under the circumstances in which we are placed, our conduct must be irreproachable. We are vowed to toil and solitude for a long, long time."
"I hope Madame is satisfied with her dinner," he said pleasantly. "Madame must always tell me if there is anything she does not like." He called the youngest of the three waitresses. "Félicie! You must look very well after Madame," he said solemnly. "Make her comfortable, attend to her slightest wish" and then he chuckled "This is my niece," he said, "a very good girl! She is our adopted daughter.
Two or three minutes later Félicie saw her come back into the room as if she had forgotten something. But the apparition advanced without a look at her, without a word, without a sounds and disappeared as it touched the bed. She had even more disturbing illusions. One Sunday, she was acting, in a matinée of Athalie, the part of young Zacharias.
Only Daddy Rousseau used to say: 'I don't know whether it is because of the atmosphere of the room, but I must have something fresh and appetizing." "I understand," said Félicie. "Little flower-girls are what you want. But you mustn't, you know. And there you are seated like a Turk and you haven't written out my prescription yet." She cast an inquiring glance at him.
He was fond of the actresses, delighted in chatting with them, gave them good advice, and listened with delicacy to their confidences. He promised Félicie that he would write her a prescription at once. "We'll attend to the stomach, my dear child, and you'll see no more cats under the chairs and tables." Madame Michon was adjusting the actress's stays.
