But no: this charming programme is wantonly rejected: not the finest orchestras, not the prettiest fêtes, not the newest chansonettes sung by Judie and Jeanne Granier themselves, can turn the players for a moment from the pursuit of their one absorbing passion.
Granier de Cassagnac, "Histoire du Directoire," II., 24-170. Apologia for the men of September, "who have only been the priests, the sacrificers of a just immolation for public security. Cf. Morellet, II., 434-470. The slightest stain of incivism, the slightest negligence in the service, caused their rejection.
Certain French comedies have reduced unconventionality in morals to a kind of spurious conventionality; in some of them the idea of marriage as a preliminary to connubial relations is regarded as rather shocking. Some day Madame Granier will hide her face in her hands, shameful at the insult of "married woman" hurled at her; and our youthful critic will admire the audacity.
Sarah Bernhardt, Judic, Theo, Granier, and twenty others, and Mme. de Reske, Coquelin, Mounet-Sully, Paulus, etc., present, followed by concerts, the comedies of Dumas, of Meilhac, Halevy and Sardon. We had only one thing to mar it, one drama by Becque which seemed sad, but which subsequently had a great success at the Comedie-Francaise. In fact all Paris came. The enterprise was launched."
What made you suspicious?" "One very important incident Weirmarsh came in with another man, and, in passing, nodded to Granier. That set me thinking." "But you do not know of any actual dealings with the doctor?" "I know of none," replied Walter. "Still, I'm very sick that, after all my pains, they should have escaped to Paris so suddenly." "Never mind," said Trendall.

Lady Holme sat back a little in the box. "What d'you think of her?" she said to Sir Donald. "I think she's rather piquant, not anywhere near Granier, of course, but still " "I think her performance entirely odious," he said, with an unusual emphasis that was almost violent. "Entirely odious." He got up from his seat, striking his thin fingers against the palms of his hands.
In this, as in all other matters, our Saint recognised the inspiration, and with a single eye, that saw God only, committed himself entirely to His providence. He did nothing at all either to hinder or to further the design, leaving it all to M. de Granier, who obtained the consent of the Duke of Savoy to propose Francis to his Holiness.
Caution requires the statement that it was not Madame Granier who gave the semi-demi-private performances: honesty compels one to admit that these remarks constitute a moan about lost youth, and are full of envy, hatred and malice towards those blessed with splendidly indiscreet enthusiasm for flaunting audacity in artistic matters. The Jaded Critic
But as the night wore on and they did not return by the midnight train the arrival of which he watched he strolled back to the Métropole and inquired for them at the bureau of the hotel.
