Her Friend But apropos of this, you know that Ernestine has not forgiven him his pleasantry of the other evening. Madame How, of my husband? What pleasantry? The other evening when the Abbe Gelon and the Abbe Brice were there? Her Friend And his son, who was there also. Madame What! the Abbe's son? Her Friend But ha! ha! ha! what are you saying, ha! ha! you little goose?
Myrtilus, the cupbearer, who was present, asked Pyrrhus for these oxen, and as Pyrrhus did not give them to him but to some one else, he did not conceal his annoyance, which was observed by Gelon. He at once invited Myrtilus to dinner and proposed to him that he should join the party of Neoptolemus and remove Pyrrhus by poison.
But what purpose does it serve to speak of the faithless and of their harmless, smiles? As the Abbe Gelon has in his inimitable manner observed, "The heart is a fortress, incessantly assailed by the spirit of darkness." The idea of a constant struggle with this powerful being has something about it that adds tenfold to our strength and flatters our vanity.
What, alone in your fortress, Madame; alone with the spirit of darkness. But hush! the Abbe Gelon is finishing in a quivering and fatigued voice. His right hand traces in the air the sign of peace.
"Do you suppose that commerce that trade that maritime energy that fleets which ransack the shores of the world, will not obtain a power greater than mere brute-like valour? But as ye will, as ye will." "As we speak our forefathers thought," said Gelon. "And, Pausanias," said Cleomenes gravely, "as we speak, so think the Ephors."
Be quick, elbow your way through the crowd if you want a good place; the Abbe Gelon preaches to-day on abstinence, and when the Abbe Gelon preaches it is as if Patti were singing.
I say, 'Father, I have erred out of human self-respect. I give the total at once." "That is just what I do, and that dear Abbe Gelon discharges the bill." "Seriously, time would fail him if he acted otherwise. But it seems to me that we are whispering a little too much, dear; let me think over my little bill." Madame leans upon her praying-stool.
Madame I said the Abbe Gelon and the Abbe Brice, and you add, 'And his son. It is your fault, dear. He must be a choir-boy, that cherub. Madame Well, but of whose son are you speaking? Her Friend Of Ernestine's son, don't you know, Albert, a picture of innocence. He heard your husband's pleasantry, and his mother was vexed. Madame My dear, I really don't know to what you refer.

Polydorus, the first in rank for, like Pausanias, he boasted his descent from Hercules was the personification of the rudeness and bigotry of a Spartan who had never before stirred from his rocky home, and who disdained all that he could not comprehend. Gelon, the second, passed for a very wise man, for he seldom spoke but in monosyllables; yet, probably, his words were as numerous as his ideas.
