"You will carry on admirable debates in your own mind, Lucien, and take up a lofty position in theory, and end by blameworthy actions. You will never be at one with yourself." "What ground have you for these charges?" "Thy vanity, dear poet, is so great that it intrudes itself even into thy friendships!" cried Fulgence.
"And what would become of European federation?" asked d'Arthez. "Ah! true," replied Michel Chrestien. "Our duty to Humanity comes first; to one man afterwards." "I came here with a heart full of gratitude to you all," said Lucien. "You have changed my alloy into golden coin." "Gratitude! For what do you take us?" asked Bianchon. "We had the pleasure," added Fulgence.
When Michel Chrestien fell in 1832 his friends went, in spite of the perils of the step, to find his body at Saint-Merri; and Horace Bianchon, Daniel d'Arthez, Leon Giraud, Joseph Bridau, and Fulgence Ridal performed the last duties to the dead, between two political fires.
"And what would become of European federation?" asked d'Arthez. "Ah! true," replied Michel Chrestien. "Our duty to Humanity comes first; to one man afterwards."

"We had the pleasure," added Fulgence.
"He will die as he lived," said d'Arthez. "Love fell like a firebrand in the vast empire of his brain and burned him away," said Leon Giraud. "Yes," said Joseph Bridau, "he has reached a height that we cannot so much as see." "We are to be pitied, not Louis," said Fulgence Ridal. "Perhaps he will recover," exclaimed Lucien.
"I'll catch him at it, the scamp!" he said, laughing, to Madame Descoings. "And you'll do right: we ought to break him of it. I, too, I have missed little sums out of my purse. Poor boy! he wants tobacco; he's accustomed to it." "Poor boy! poor boy!" cried the artist. "I'm rather of Fulgence and Bixiou's opinion: Philippe is a dead-weight on us.
Michel and Fulgence exchanged incredulous scornful smiles at this. Lucien saw the absurdity of his remark. "Coralie is wonderfully beautiful," exclaimed Joseph Bridau. "What a magnificent portrait she would make!" "Beautiful and good," said Lucien; "she is an angel, upon my word.
"Coralie had an elderly adorer, a merchant, and she showed him the door, poor fellow. I am better off than your brother Philippe," he added, addressing Joseph Bridau; "he does not know how to manage Mariette." "You are a man like another now; in short, you will make your way," said Fulgence. "A man that will always be the same for you, under all circumstances," returned Lucien.
There is an indescribable piquancy about his epigrams and sallies of thought. He is eloquent, he knows how to love, but the uncertainty that appears in his execution is a part of the very nature of the man. The brotherhood loved him for the very qualities which the philistine would style defects. Last among the living comes Fulgence Ridal.
Indolent and prolific as Rossini, compelled, like great poet-comedians, like Moliere and Rabelais, to see both sides of everything, and all that is to be said both for and against, he is a sceptic, ready to laugh at all things. Fulgence Ridal is a great practical philosopher.
