"I have the honor to inform you, gentlemen, that, attacked by an indisposition which, not serious in itself " Fresh interruption, noisier than the first. Like all military men, Colonel Giguet is not patient nor parliamentary; he therefore rose and called out vehemently, "Messieurs, we are not at a circus. I request you to behave in a more seemly manner; if not, I leave the chair."
We cannot conceal from ourselves that many sufferings " At three o'clock Simon Giguet was still explaining Progress, accompanied by the rhythmic snores of various electors which denoted a sound sleep. The malicious Achille Pigoult had urged all present to listen religiously to the young orator, who was now floundering in his phrases and paraphrases hopelessly at random.
Now this Simon Giguet, who has thrust himself upon the scene, is a fool, and the worst of all fools, for he thinks himself an eagle. You are, however, too intimate with the Giguets and the Marion household not to put the utmost politeness into your refusal but you must refuse him." "As usual, you and I are of the same opinion, father."
"We did not come here," cried Fromaget, "to say Amen to everything the Messieurs Giguet, father and son, may wish " "No! no!" cried the assembly. "Things are going badly," said Madame Marion to her cook in the garden. "Messieurs," resumed Achille, "I confine myself to asking my friend Simon Giguet, categorically, what he expects to do for our interests." "Yes! yes!" cried the assembly.
Simon Giguet hoped that he could now exchange a few words with Cecile, and he looked at her like a conqueror. The look displeased her. "My dear fellow," said Antonin to Simon, observing on his friend's face the glory of success, "you come at a moment when the noses of all the young men in Arcis are put out of joint." "Very much so," said Ernestine, whom Cecile had nudged with her elbow.
"Danton went from it!" cried Colonel Giguet, furious at Achille's speech and the justice of it. "Bravo!" This was an acclamation, and sixty persons clapped their hands. "My father has a ready wit," whispered Simon Giguet to Beauvisage.
In fact, his devotion in 1815 was such that he would have been banished with so many others if the Comte de Gondreville had not contrived to have his name effaced from the ordinance and put on the retired list with a pension, and the rank of colonel. Madame Marion, nee Giguet, had another brother who was colonel of gendarmerie at Troyes, whom she followed to that town at an earlier period.
Does it not concern one four-hundredth part of the governing power, as our excellent mayor has lately said with the ready wit that characterizes him and for which we have so high an appreciation?" During these remarks Colonel Giguet was cutting a sheet of paper into strips, and Simon had sent for pens and ink.
At the moment when Phileas reached his house after the Giguet meeting, his wife, already informed of the resolutions passed, had put on her boots and shawl and was preparing to go to her father; for she felt very sure that Madame Marion would, on that same evening, make her certain overtures relating to Simon and Cecile.
It is forced to keep on good terms with the only man who is comparable to Monsieur de Talleyrand. It is not to the prefect, but to the Comte de Gondreville that you ought to send the commissary of police." "Meanwhile," said Frederic Marest, "the Opposition is bestirring itself; you see yourselves the influence of Monsieur Giguet.
