The friend of Alfred de Musset, the model for George Sand's "Consuelo," the "creator" of Fidès in Le Prophète, and the singer who, in the revival of Orphée at the Théâtre Lyrique in 1859, resuscitated Gluck's popularity in Paris, retired from the opera stage in 1863 at the age of 43, shortly after she had appeared in Alceste! His very delightful letters to her have been published.
We find this in the first chapter, and few of the subsequent ones conclude without some similar rap on the knuckles for the countrymen of Don Quixote; raps always dexterously applied, and in most instances well deserved. Ford is particularly severe, and not without good cause. The Hispanica fides of the present day may well rival the Punica fides of the ancients. It has become as proverbial.
Laying therefore in my youth the foundations of so noble a structure, it is my intention, if God will assist me and prolong my life, to reserve my maturer years for composing a treatise upon so perfect, so sacred a subject: for according to the poet, "Ardua quippe fides robustos exigit annos;" "The important concerns of faith require a mind in its full vigour;"
I thought it might be necessary to prove my bona fides," she continued, with a laugh, "so I brought some letters of Jacob Herapath's with me letters written to me you recognize his big, bold hand, of course." There was no mistaking Jacob Herapath's writing, and the two young people, after one glance at it, exchanged glances with each other. "Now you want to know why I am here," said Mrs. Engledew.
Kerry staring, in silence, the Assistant Commissioner continued: "I have been advised that this nameless agent is in a position to establish his bona fides at any time, as he bears a number of these cards. You see, Chief Inspector, I am frank with you." From a table drawer the Assistant Commissioner took a visiting-card, which he handed to Kerry.
"A pretty modest quotation," said I. "You must allow at least, that the amor sceleratus habendi was also, in some moderate degree, shared by the Pudor and Fides which characterize your party; otherwise, I am at a loss how to account for the tough struggle against us we have lately had the honour of resisting." "Never mind," replied Vincent, "I will not refute you,
Another illustration is the entrance of Berthe and Fidès in the beginning of the Le Prophète. In this case the author indicated a pantomime. This is never played and so this pretty bit loses all its significance. Meyerbeer ventured to use combinations in harmony which were considered rash at that time.
Consilio etiam unius hominis addita rei dicitur fides; namque Proculus Julius sollicita civitate desiderio regis, et infensa Patribus, gravis, ut traditur, quamvis magnae rei auctor, in concionem prodit.
It has ever pleased God to prosper all my undertakings, and I feel confident of His blessing on this occasion. I ever consider my motto, Fides et Opera." Having, with true strategic insight, chosen the place where the blow ought to be struck for the preservation of Corsica, he pressed, with characteristic fervor, the necessity of taking risks.
Of his bona fides there can be no doubt, but some of M. Zola's friends are rather partial to a little harmless joking, and it is evident that a trap was laid for the shrewd correspondent of the 'Times, and that he, in an unguarded moment, fell into it.
