The mother laughed, and rubbed her hands. "Dâme! one may see that," replied she, "with one's eyes shut! Yes, M'sieur, yes their wedding-day, the dear children their wedding-day! They've been betrothed these two years." "The bride is very like you, Madame," said Dalrymple, gravely. "Your younger sister, I presume?" "Ah, quel farceur! He takes my daughter for my sister! Suzette, do you hear this?
To hae her produced?" said the little man, slyly. "Farceur! No, to leave." "Indeed is that sae?" asked Mungo, in a quite new tone, and reddening. "H'm! Ye may hae come barefit, but the ither ane has the preference." "He has my sincere felicitations, I assure you," said Count Victor, "and I can only hope he is worthy of the honour of Master Mungo's connivance and the lady's devotion."
"It is according to one's nature; if one is born a steadfast gentleman, one is more likely to continue than if one is a farceur prince or no but it depends upon the object of one's love whether he or she can hold one or not.
"Am I usually a farceur?" he replied. "I think that my tendencies are rather the other way. I really mean it, Geraldine. Shall we talk about it later on this evening?" "If you like," she agreed simply, "but somehow I believe that I would rather wait. Look at mother's eye, roving around the table. Give me my gloves, please, Hugh. Don't be long."
The tight-fisted little farceur had a confused reverence for anything that seemed to him refined or clever. He answered Harry Haydock's sneers, "That's all right now! Elizabeth may doll himself up too much, but he's smart, and don't you forget it! I was asking round trying to find out where this Ukraine is, and darn if he didn't tell me. What's the matter with his talking so polite?
"One may say that Spain gave Papal Rome its thought and activity, as it gave the Rome of the Caesars also its thought and activity, through Seneca and Trajan. "Really it is curious to see the traces that remain in Rome of that Basque, Inigo. That half farceur, half ruffian, who had the characteristics of a modern anarchist, was a genius for organization.
Once returned from the abysms of the utter North to that little house upon the outskirts of Meudon, it was not the philosopher, the daring observer, the man of iron energy that imposed himself on his family, but a fat and even plaintive jester, a farceur incarnate and kindly, the co-equal of his children, and, it must be written, not seldom the comic despair of Madame Lavalle, who, as she writes five years after the marriage, to her venerable mother, found "in this unequalled intellect whose name I bear the abandon of a large and very untidy boy."
Jefferson lived for one summer in an old mansion at Morningside, Edinburgh, and he dwells with natural delight on his recollections of that majestic city. He had many a talk, at odd times, with the glittering farceur Charles Mathews, about dramatic art, and some of this is recorded in piquant anecdotes.
"You can be so solemn that it takes a minute to see your joke," he said. "And humorous when we expect him to be solemn and, presto, there he goes!" added the judge's son. Hugo's lips were twitching peculiarly. "Look at him!" exclaimed the manufacturer's son. "Oh, you've had us all going this afternoon, you old farceur, you, Hugo!"
It is the composition of Señor de Castro himself, who is a farceur, of some wit and more effrontery. Ticknor is even too serious in the attention which he bestows on Señor de Castro and his work, which an English publisher has thought worthy of a translation. The proud and happy author himself spoke of his success with a frank complacency which, in any other man, would savor of vanity.
