The Comte de Serizy, before his death, obtained for him the collectorship at Pontoise. The influence of Monsieur Moreau de l'Oise and that of the Comtesse de Serizy and the Baron de Canalis secured, in after years, a receiver-generalship for Monsieur Husson, in whom the Camusot family now recognize a relation.
From the foregoing it is sufficiently evident that those who buy soap to sell again have every reason to keep a sharp lookout on those who furnish them with soap. Polyt. Notiz. By C. HUSSON. M. Meynet, in a remarkable report upon condensed milk, has raised a question which it is important to have solved in the interests of infants.
Oscar followed the steward, who led him along at a rapid pace through the park. "Jacques," said Moreau to one of his children whom they met, "run in and tell your mother that little Husson has come, and say to her that I am obliged to go to Les Moulineaux for a moment." The steward, then about fifty years old, was a dark man of medium height, and seemed stern.
"Then give them to him," she replied, making an impatient gesture to hide her real trouble. "Mamma! here's Oscar Husson," said her youngest son, bringing in Oscar, who turned as red as a poppy on seeing the two artists in evening dress. "Oh! so you have come, my little Oscar," said Estelle, stiffly.
After all, your son bears the name of Husson, and if my dear deceased wife were living she would wish to do something for the name of her father and of her brother " "She loved her brother," said Oscar's mother.

Husson, who, after adjusting her spectacles on her thin nose, read as follows: Bread...........................four sous Milk............................two sous Butter.........................eight sous
Little Husson, who was present, slipped into a corner, out of sight, so much did the livid face of his mother's friend alarm him.

I am no longer steward of Presles, no longer in the count's confidence." "Why not?"
You have undoubtedly spoken of my infirmities to Madame Clapart; you have laughed at her house, and with her, over my attachment to the Comtesse de Serizy; for her son, little Husson, told a number of circumstances relating to my medical treatment, to travellers by a public conveyance in my presence, and Heaven knows in what language! He dared to calumniate my wife.
Any irregularity before marriage made her furious, exasperated her till she was beside herself. Now, this was the period when they presented a prize as a reward of virtue to any girl in the environs of Paris who was found to be chaste. She was called a Rosiere, and Mme. Husson got the idea that she would institute a similar ceremony at Gisors.
The girls amused themselves by walking up and down before him, cracking jokes that made him go into the store. The boldest among them teased him to his face just to have a laugh, to amuse themselves, made appointments with him and proposed all sorts of things. So Madame Husson had become thoughtful. Certainly, Isidore was an exceptional case of notorious, unassailable virtue.
