Don't do what I did, with my blind man of the Pont de la Concorde, that frightful clarinet-player, who for the last ten years has been blighting my life by playing all day 'De tes fils, Norma. I have tried everything to get him away from there money, threats. Nothing has succeeded in inducing him to go. The police? Ah, yes, indeed.
Aunt Morin had a very comfortably invested fortune left, for the late Monsieur Morin, corn, hay and seed merchant, had been a very astute person. It would make little difference to the comfort of Aunt Morin, or to the prospects of Cousin Gaspard in Madagascar, whether the present business of Veuve Morin et Fils went on or not. Of this Aunt Morin, in lighter moods, had boasted many times.
Each of them has turned a compliment with pen or pencil, and you may see in a glass case on the parlor wall what Alexandre Dumas, Fils, thought of the landlady's nose, and how several painters measured her ankles. Of course you must make this excursion in good company, and I affirm that I was in the very best.
"Monsieur will give me the hope to see him, with Monsieur son fils, at my Soirée Fantastique, n'est-ce pas?" he asked, timidly.

Pierre settled in his own mind, that if he were a woman, he should like to be beloved as Virginie was, by his cousin, and that it would be an extremely good thing for her to be the wife of so rich a citizen as Morin Fils, and for Pierre himself, too, for doubtless their gratitude would lead them to give him rings and watches ad infinitum. "A day or two afterwards, Virginie was taken ill.
Surely that must touch the Sacred Heart! Will not His Mother say one word? "Hosanna! Hosanna au Fils de David!" "Hosanna!" cried the priest. "Hosanna!" cried the people. "Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!..." One articulate roar of disappointed praise, and then Tantum ergo Sacramentum! rose in its solemnity. When Benediction was over, I went back to the Bureau; but there was little to be seen there.

Grandemont explained briefly that he desired to rent the house for two or three days. He wanted to give a dinner at his old home to a few friends. That was all. "Take it for a week a month, if you will," said the solicitor; "but do not speak to me of rental." With a sigh he concluded: "The dinners I have eaten under that roof, mon fils!"
