Debay's clothes, and the curtain was raised. Poor me! I was more dead than alive, but my courage returned after a triple burst of applause for the couplet which I sang on waking in very much the same way as I should have murmured a series of Racine's lines. When the performance was over Marc Fournier offered me, through Josse, a three years' engagement, but I asked to be allowed to think it over.
When, therefore, the full form, Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus, first appears, in the second edition of the Adagia, published by Josse Badius at Paris in 1506, it is an indication that Erasmus, then forty years of age, had found himself. Circumstances had not made it easy for him to find his way.
He has filled them with a wonderful irresponsible wisdom, condensing into single phrases the ridiculousness of generations: 'Nous avons changé tout cela. 'Que diable allait-il faire dans cette galère? 'Vous êtes orfèvre, Monsieur Josse. So effectually has he contrived to embalm in the spice of his humour even the momentary affectations of his own time that they have come down to us fresh as when they first appeared, and the Précieuses Ridicules a skit upon the manners and modes of speech affected by the fops of 1650 still raises to-day our inextinguishable laughter.
Jösse said the same to the followers of his guest, and as they were weary they were glad to go to their beds.
Mariquita, who had just arrived, also persuaded me, and Madame Ulgade was sent for to rehearse the duos, for I was to sing. Yes, and I was to sing with a veritable artiste, one who was considered to be the first artiste of the Opera Comique. There was but little time to spare. Josse made me rehearse my role, which I almost knew, as I had seen the piece often and I had an extraordinary memory.
"Monsieur Josse, you are a jeweler and you sell your jewels with a readiness which is not equaled by the readiness of your debtors to pay for them. The countess owes you thirty thousand francs. Do not attend to any sign which she may make to impose silence upon you speak out boldly. I will pay all." So that the catastrophe in the science of marriage is what figures are in arithmetic.
As to which of the two was the greater, discussion is idle, but that Hawthorne was the finer genius few would deny. Poe, as cunning an artificer of goldsmith's work and as adroit in its vending as was ever M. Josse, declared that "Hawthorne's distinctive trait is invention, creation, imagination, originality, a trait which in the literature of fiction is positively worth all the rest."
Such works of art were for instruction rather than beauty, though some also served well the purpose of decoration. Josse Vyt, who ordered the picture, and whose portrait, with that of his wife, is painted on the shutters, no doubt explained exactly what he wanted, and Hubert sought to please him.
When by chance they were left alone together they were never disturbed by wondering if their friendship verged on love. There was no harm in such affection. Nana was now six years old and a most troublesome little sprite. Her mother took her every morning to a school in the Rue Polonceau, to a certain Mlle Josse. Here she did all manner of mischief.
His is such a life as one would take to prove the unsettling effects of music; yet what shall we say then of Josse Boutmy, who lived ninety-nine years and raised twelve children, spending the greater part of his life with his faithful spouse in one long struggle against poverty, one eternal drudgery for the pence necessary to educate his family?
