A friend of that other eclectic, Mérimée, Stendhal was not much thought of in his own time until the profound praises of Balzac drew all eyes upon him; and in much more recent times interest in the best of his writings has revived on account of his keen and impartial analysis of whatever subject he touched upon. Beyle died on March 22, 1842. I. Fabrice del Dongo
The same Fabrice who held poor George I. in his arms while they drove, galloping, to Osnabriick, that night, IN EXTREMIS: not needing mention again. The following is more to the point. Very splendid subscription; headed by Princess Caroline, and much favored by the opulent of quality.
Let us call up all the heroes of his book.... Gil Blas, Fabrice, Sangrado, the Archbishop of Granada, the Duke of Lerma, Aurora, Scipio! Ye gay or graceful figures, rise before my eyes, people my solitude; bring hither for my amusement the world-carnival, of which you are the brilliant maskers!
Giletti was the low comedian of the company, and the ugliest member of it; he assumed proprietorship over Marietta, who, although she did not love him, was at any rate horribly afraid of him. Giletti several times threatened to kill Fabrice; whereby Fabrice was not disturbed.
Mademoiselle Agnes de Lucines would far sooner cut off her right hand than let yours touch it even for one instant. Neither she nor deputy Fabrice would ever purchase their lives at such a price." "And who are you you mangy old scarecrow?" retorted Heriot, who was getting beside himself with rage, "that you should assert these things?
Early one morning Fabrice, after surveying the work that was going on in the trenches, strolled away with a gun, intent upon lark-shooting. A wounded bird dropped on the road; and as Fabrice followed it he encountered a battered old carriage driving towards the frontier. In it were Giletti, Marietta and an old woman who passed as Marietta's mother.
"He refused all bribes, and violence would not have helped me, for what I wanted was not to knock him down, but to get hold of the letters." "Well, after all, he might have sold you the letters and then denounced Fabrice just the same." "No, without actual proofs he could not do that. Arnould Fabrice is not a man against whom a mere denunciation would suffice.
"No one sent me, citizen. The money is mine a few savings I possess I honour citizen Fabrice I would wish to do him service by purchasing certain letters from you." Then as Heriot, moody and sullen, remained silent and began pacing up and down the long, bare floor of the room, Lepine added persuasively, "Well! what do you say?
The persuasion was not easy; but at length Fabrice, having been convinced that the clerical yoke would bear but lightly upon him, consented to the step, and as a preliminary spent three years in a theological college at Naples.
'I am a man of capital now, he said; 'you need not laugh so loud this time. The rag-merchant asked the amount of his capital; and when he heard it, whistled Ninon dormait, and turned upon his heel. 'No wonder, said Fabrice afterward; 'I little knew then what a rag-merchant was worth.
