Raoul shall illustrate it. Honoré shall give you money to publish it. Ah! Professor Frowenfeld, the star of your fame is rising out of the waves of oblivion! Come I dropped in purposely to ask you come across the street and take a glass of taffia with Agricola Fusilier."
Frowenfeld noticed his companion frequently cast an eye up along the distant sunset shadows of the road with a new anxiety. Yet, when M. Grandissime broke the silence it was only to say: "I suppose you find the blemishes in our state of society can all be attributed to one main defect, Mr. Frowenfeld?"
He hemmed, commenced a sentence twice, and finally said: "You will need an agent; some one to take full charge of your affairs; some person on whose sagacity and integrity you can place the fullest dependence." "Who, for instance?" asked Aurora. "I should say, without hesitation, Professor Frowenfeld, the apothecary. You know his trouble of yesterday is quite cleared up. You had not heard? Yes.
Just before they reached it, Honoré stopped under the huge street-lamp, whose light had gone out, where a large stone lay before him on the ground in the narrow, moonlit street. There was a tall, unfinished building at his back. "Mr Frowenfeld," he struck the stone with his cane, "this stone is Bras-Coupé we cast it aside because it turns the edge of our tools." He laughed.
This accomplished, he had gone to bed in a condition of peaceful elation, eager for the next day to come that he might take these mighty productions to Joseph Frowenfeld, and make him a present of them for insertion in his book of tables.
Peace first and justice afterwards that was the principle on which I quietly made myself the trustee of a plantation and income which you would have given back to their owners, eh?" Frowenfeld was silent. "My-de'-seh, recollect that to us the Grandissime name is a treasure. And what has preserved it so long? Cherishing the unity of our family; that has done it; that is how my father did it.
They turned homeward. "Ah! Mr. Frowenfeld," said the Creole, suddenly, "if the immygrant has cause of complaint, how much more has that man! True, it is only love for which he would have just now drowned himself; yet what an accusation, my-de'-seh, is his whole life against that 'caste' which shuts him up within its narrow and almost solitary limits! And yet, Mr.
Almost the first thing acquired by Raoul in the camp of the enemy was a certain Aurorean audacity; and on the afternoon to which we allude, having told Frowenfeld a rousing fib to the effect that the multitudinous inmates of the maternal Grandissime mansion had insisted on his bringing his esteemed employer to see them, he and his bride had the hardihood to present him on the front veranda.
"After a while at least not now, sir, if you please." The doctor made a gesture of disappointment. "Um-hum," he said grumly "the only man in New Orleans I would honor with an invitation! but all right; I'll go alone." He laughed a little at himself, and left Frowenfeld, if ever he should desire it, to make the acquaintance of his pretty neighbors as best he could.
"I have presumed to call upon you," resumed M. Grandissime, addressing himself now to both ladies at once, "to see if I may enlist you in a purely benevolent undertaking in the interest of one who has been unfortunate a common acquaintance " "Common acquaint " interrupted Aurora, with a hostile lighting of her eyes. "I believe so Professor Frowenfeld."
