And Lousteau, on his side, was privately receiving five hundred francs of purchase-money, under the name of commission, from Fendant and Cavalier for introducing the future Sir Walter Scott to two enterprising tradesmen in search of a French Author of "Waverley." The firm of Fendant and Cavalier had started in business without any capital whatsoever.
Etienne addressed Barbet: "We have five thousand francs' worth of bills at six, nine, and twelve months, given by Fendant and Cavalier. Are you willing to discount them for us?" "I will give you three thousand francs for them," said Barbet with imperturbable coolness. "Three thousand francs!" echoed Lucien. "Nobody else will give you as much," rejoined the bookseller.

And I can only pay you with one of the bills which you refuse to take." "You have a bill there for five hundred francs at six months; I will take that one of you," said Chaboisseau. Apparently at the last statement of accounts, there had been a balance of five hundred francs in favor of Fendant and Cavalier. They went back to the classical department.
Bianchon suspected that d'Arthez was generously trying to screen the renegade; but on questioning Lucien during a lucid interval in the dangerous nervous fever, he learned that his patient was only responsible for the one serious article in Hector Merlin's paper. Before the first month was out, the firm of Fendant and Cavalier filed their schedule.

On his way home along the Boulevards, he met Barbet. "Barbet!" he begged, holding out his hand. "Five hundred francs!" "No. Two hundred," returned the other. "Ah! then you have a heart." "Yes; but I am a man of business as well. I have lost a lot of money through you," he concluded, after giving the history of the failure of Fendant and Cavalier, "will you put me in the way of making some?"
After the failure of Fendant and Cavalier, their bills were taken into bankruptcy according to that provision of the Code of Commerce most inimical to the claims of third parties, who in this way lose the benefit of delay. Lucien discovered that Camusot was proceeding against him with great energy.
A few days later, Lucien made up his mind to a humiliating step for love's sake. He took Fendant and Cavalier's bills, and went to the Golden Cocoon in the Rue des Bourdonnais. He would ask Camusot to discount them. The poet had not fallen so low that he could make this attempt quite coolly.
The stupidity of the Paris commercial world is conspicuous in these attempts to do the same thing twice, for success lies in contraries; and in Paris, of all places in the world, success spoils success. So beneath the title of Strelitz, or Russia a Hundred Years Ago, Fendant and Cavalier rashly added in big letters the words, "In the style of Scott."
