Cesarine must have two hundred thousand francs dot; and I mean that you and I shall retire solid bourgeois of Paris, with fifteen thousand francs a year. Hein! If I could make you see that as plain as day, wouldn't it shut your mouth?" "Oh, if you've got the mines of Peru " "Yes, I have, my lamb.
You put on ze stone: 'Marie Dubois, ze beloved daughter of Georges and Marianne Dubois, rag-pickers of Paris. That will be a last leetle joke, hein?" "It's as you wish," he said coldly. He forced back the natural questions that came to him.
"I wonder," said Steering, almost sighing, "if you will mind a little of my company. The road is terribly lonely, sir. The country is terribly lonely in fact." "Yes, sair, a tr-r-ue word that. It is lonely. But sair, what will you of this particulaire portion? It is vair' yong in the Tigmores. It cannot be populate' in a day, a year. You, sair, come from the East, hein?
"Delighted to meet you delighted, I am sure," Baron Poppenheimer said, with a slight accent, extending two fingers a form of handshake which I particularly dislike. "Dreadfully cold again, is it not? hein? Dreadfully cold, I am sure." His appearance rather amused me. His was a queer figure.
The thought of what he had found made him feel almost good-humoured, although he took good care that no one else should benefit by this unusual mood. "You have found yourself a little distraction, hein?" he said, ignoring Arithelli's presence. "We are not up here for amusement all the same. There's nothing done. I supposed you had come down to see to the horses."
And you have come promptly; that also is well. It is what you would do," he said, eying me quite affectionately. "We did not expect to meet again, and in England, hein?" "That we didn't!" I rejoined. "Say, Mishka, how did you get clear; and how did you know where to find me?" "One thing at a time. First, I have brought you a letter. Read it."
Undoubtedly the laws have not the nap which they ought to have Hein?" he said, looking at Jenny. "All orators put France on the verge of an abyss. They either say that or they talk about the chariot of state, or convulsions, or political horizons. Don't I know their dodges? I'm up to all the tricks of all the trades. Do you know why?
"Jacques," said Jeanne-Marie, "go at once for the doctor, and tell him to come here, for some one is very ill." "Hein?" said Jacques again, "does that concern me? I must attend to my own affairs, and finish my wine, Jeanne-Marie."
"Ah ah! mesdames!" he cried, exultingly, between the gasps of his own laughter, as he tossed his own fine head in the air, sitting on his rude bench, covered with sheepskin, as if it had been an armchair. "Ah, ah! mesdames, you didn't expect this, hein? You hoped for a landau, and feathers and cushions, perhaps? But soft feathers and springs are not for the greve."
He believed in his soul that lovely, placid, and passive feminine mediocrity was the only pillow on which manly thought and sense could find rest for its aching temples; and as to work, male mind alone could work to any good practical result hein? This "hein?" was a note of interrogation intended to draw from me contradiction or objection.
