While Madame Jolicoeur continued her debatings which, in their modified form, manifestly were approaching her to conclusions water was running under bridges elsewhere. In effect, her hesitancies produced a period of suspense that gave opportunity for, and by the exasperating delay of it stimulated, the resolution of the Notary's dark thoughts into darker deeds.
As the result of her debatings, and not less as the result of experience gained in her earlier campaigning, Madame Jolicoeur took up a strategic position nicely calculated to inflame the desire for, by assuming the uselessness of, an assault.
They only say, 'There goes Charley Steele!" The tongue again touched the corners of the mouth, and the eyes wandered to the doorway down the street, over which was written in French: "Jean Jolicoeur, Licensed to sell wine, beer, and other spirituous and fermented liquors."
On the other hand, to assert that Madame Jolicoeur, in defence of her isolation, was disposed to plant machine-guns in the doorway of her dwelling a house of modest elegance on the Pavé d'Amour, at the crossing of the Rue Bausset would be to go too far.
It was of the game that Madame Jolicoeur should assume her cap with an air of detachment and aloofness: as though no such entity as the Shah de Perse existed, and with an insisted-upon disregard of the fact that he was watching her alertly with his great golden eyes.
Cats of his perfect beauty, of his perfect grace, possibly might be found, Madame Jolicoeur grudgingly admitted, in the Persian royal catteries; but nowhere else in the Orient, and nowhere at all in the Occident, she declared with an energetic conviction, possibly could there be found a cat who even approached him in intellectual development, in wealth of interesting accomplishments, and, above all, in natural sweetness of disposition a sweetness so marked that even under extreme provocation he never had been known to thrust out an angry paw.
But as Madame Jolicoeur did not possess a temperament that even bordered on severity, and as her mind was a sort that made itself up in at least twenty different directions in a single moment as she was, in short, an entirely typical and therefore an entirely delightful Provençale the situation was so much too much for her that, by the process of formulating a great variety of irreconcilable conclusions, she left everything at loose ends by not making any choice at all.
When, of his own volition, he would jump into her abundant lap and go to burrowing with his little soft round head beneath her soft round elbows, the while gurglingly purring forth his love for her, Madame Jolicoeur, quite justifiably, at times was moved to tears. Equally was his sweet nature exhibited in his always eager willingness to show off his little train of cat accomplishments.
Being such a cat, it will be perceived that Madame Jolicoeur had reason in her avowed intention to bestow upon him all of the bestowable affection remnant in her withered heart's devastated recesses; and, equally, that she would not be wholly desolate, having such a cat to comfort her, while standing impartially attendant upon the decrees of fate.
I'd like to smash that eye-glass for him!" "He's going down-hill fast," said the other. "He drinks steady steady." "Tiens tiens!" interposed Jean Jolicoeur, the landlord. "It is not harm to him. He drink all day, an' he walk a crack like a bee-line." "He's got the handsomest wife in this city. If I was him, I'd think more of myself," answered the Englishman. "How you think more hein?
