Many of the men destined to a brilliant part in the history of modern sculpture were trained in the atelier of Jouffroy. Falguière and Saint-Marceau had but just left that studio when the young American entered it, and Mercié was his fellow student there.
Let her only make the wise decision now, everything would arrange itself. It needed only courage. "This is the moment for decision. Remain now among us, and pursue your studies with a calm mind, and I promise you I, Jouffroy, who have the right to speak on this matter I promise you shall have a success beyond the wildest dreams of your ambition. Madame, you do not guess your own power.
If Hadria assumed the burden of Hubert's debt, it would mean what M. Jouffroy had pointed out. Hubert's suffering would be only on account of offended public opinion; hers but then her parents would suffer as well as Hubert.
In consequence of numberless pupils who had shewn great promise, and then had satisfied themselves with "a stupid maternity," Jouffroy was inclined to regard women with contempt, not as regards their talent, which he declared was often astonishing, but as regards their persistency of character and purpose.
Madame Vauchelet consulted her musical friends. People were sympathetic, but rather vague in their advice. It was always difficult, this affair. The beginning was hard. M. Thillard, a kindly, highly-cultivated man of about sixty, who had heard Hadria play, took great interest in her talent, and busied himself on her behalf. He said he would like to interest the great Jouffroy in this work.
The time of Saint-Gaudens's study in Paris was a time of great importance in the development of modern sculpture, and, although Jouffroy was not himself a sculptor of the highest rank, his studio was a centre for what was then the new movement in the sculpture of France.
"But of whom one demands the duties of human beings and the courage of heroes," added Hadria. "Justement," cried Jouffroy. But Madame had taught him a superb truth. For her, he felt a sentiment of admiration and reverence the most profound. She had been to him a revelation. He entreated her to bestow upon him the privilege of watching over her career.
"I speak to you thus, Madame, not because I think little of your sex, but because I grudge them to the monster who will not spare us even one!" Hadria worked with sufficient energy to please even Jouffroy. Her heart was in it, and her progress rapid. Everything was organized, in her life, for the one object.
But the roads were in so bad a condition, and the French troops had been so severely tried, and were so ill-provided for, that several of the commander-in-chief's instructions could not be carried out. Jouffroy at least did his best, and after a hard and tiring march from Grand Luce, a part of his division reached Parigne in time to join in the action fought there.
In intellectual philosophy Jouffroy and Damiron continued the work begun by Royer-Collard, that of destroying the influence of sensualism and materialism. De Tocqueville and Chevalier are distinguished in political science, the former particularly for his able work on "Democracy in America." Among the orators Lacordaire, Pere Felix, Pere Hyacinthe, and Coquerel are best known.
