In 1845, Gazonal considered his cause as wholly lost; the secretary of the Master of Petitions, charged with the duty of drawing up the report, had confided to him that the said report would assuredly be against him, and his own lawyer confirmed the statement.
Well, we must have them all, under pain of losing the salaries given us by the State, the rue de Jerusalem, or the minister of Commerce." "You certainly seem to me a remarkable man," said Gazonal. Fromenteau looked at the provincial without replying, without betraying the smallest sign of feeling, and departed, bowing to no one, a trait of real genius.
"Parisian creative powers have gone farther than that," said Gazonal; "look at the workmen! You don't know all the products of industry, though you exhibit them. Our toilers fight against the toilers of the continent by force of misery, as Napoleon fought Europe by force of regiments." "Here we are, at my friend the usurer's," said Bixiou. "His name is Vauvinet.
"Ha! that's still more queer; he's Master of Petitions, professor of something or other at the Sorbonne, a fellow who writes things in reviews, and for whom I have the profoundest contempt." "Claude Vignon," said Bixiou. "Yes, that's his name," replied Gazonal. "Massol and Vignon there you have Social Reason, in which there's no reason at all."
During this monstrous breakfast advisedly so called in view of six dozen Osten oysters, six cutlets a la Soubise, a chicken a la Marengo, lobster mayonnaise, green peas, a mushroom pasty, washed down with three bottles of Bordeaux, three bottles of Champagne, plus coffee and liqueurs, to say nothing of relishes Gazonal was magnificent in his diatribes against Paris.
"And as it is all important that you conciliate that power, I am going to give you a few instructions," said Bixiou. "Do you employ workwomen in your manufactory?" "Of course I do," replied Gazonal. "That's all I want to know," resumed Bixiou. "You are not married, and you are a great " "Yes!" cried Gazonal, "you've guessed my strong point, I'm a great lover of women."
A hundred years hence this earth will be much larger than it is now." "And how will that, monsieur, come to pass?" said Gazonal, stupefied at hearing a man outside of a lunatic asylum talk in this way. "Through the extending of production. If men will apply The System, it will not be impossible to act upon the stars." "What would become of painting in that case?" asked Gazonal.
In these days, my dear fellow, under our new political dispensation, every human being tries to cover himself with glory, and most of them cover themselves with ridicule; hence a lot of living caricatures quite new to the world." "If everybody gets glory, who can be famous?" said Gazonal. "Fame! none but fools want that," replied Bixiou.
"I don't believe in Southern securities, be it said without offence to monsieur," replied Vauvinet, with whom Gazonal was so entertained that he did not resent his insolence.
"You could bring about a change of the cabinet, for on such ground you can do what you like with the Chamber, and be master of the situation." "Maxime has trapped them both," said Leon to his cousin; "that fellow is like a fish in water among the intrigues of the Chamber." "Who is he?" asked Gazonal. "An ex-scoundrel who is now in a fair way to become an ambassador," replied Bixiou.
