And I wanted some kind of title, too, like King's Apothecary and Herbarist, or Weeding Woman, and Alphonse Karr does not seem to have had any by-name of that sort. I had put Adela's bonnet on my head to carry it safely, and was still sitting thinking, when the others burst into the library.
There are several very clever men who write for the newspapers, or what may be styled pamphleteers, amongst whom are Jules Janin, and Alphonse Karr; the latter publishes a satirical work called the Guêpe, which possesses the talent of being very severe and stinging wherever it fixes.
The game-keeper will not be pleased with this," observed Karr. He ran deeper into the thickets, to learn how far the destruction had spread. Wherever he went, he heard the same ticking; scented the same odour; saw the same needle rain. There was no need of his pausing to investigate. He understood it all by these signs. The little caterpillars were everywhere.
With that prospect Karr could no longer keep up his spirits, but hung his head. When he came to the manor he did not look up, but pretended that he knew no one there. The master was standing on the stairs leading to the hall when the game-keeper came forward. "Where on earth did that dog come from?" he exclaimed. "Surely it can't be Karr? He must be dead this long time!"
The heart alone is the theme nothing but sentiment! as if there were nothing else in the world. They next went in for novels of the humorous order, such as the Voyage autour de ma Chambre, by Xavier de Maistre, and Sous les Tilleuls, by Alphonse Karr. In books of this description the author must interrupt the narrative in order to talk about his dog, his slippers, or his mistress.
When I read about the poppies Alphonse Karr sowed in the wild nooks of his native country, it made me think of John's French poppies, and paeony poppies, and ranunculus poppies, and carnation poppies, some very large, some quite small, some round and neat, some full and ragged like Japanese chrysanthemums, but all of such beautiful shades of red, rose, crimson, pink, pale blush, and white, that if they had but smelt like carnations instead of smelling like laudanum when you have the toothache, they would have been quite perfect.
When they reached the courthouse he said: "Just run into my room there; I've got to catch Sheriff Karr before he gets away." He opened the door of his private office, thrusting her gently inside, and hurried away. I turned to meet my father, and there was Marjie. Tear drops were on her long brown lashes, and her cheeks were flushed. "Why, my little girl!"
"What are you looking at?" asked a man who stood beside him. "Sickness has come among the caterpillars," observed the game-keeper. Karr was astonished, but he was even more angered at the snake's having the power to keep his word. Grayskin would have to stay away a long long time, for, of course, that water-snake would never die.
At the very height of his grief a thought came to Karr which comforted him a little. "Perhaps the water-snake won't live so long, after all!" he thought. "Surely he cannot always lie protected under a tree root. As soon as he has cleaned out the caterpillars, I know some one who is going to bite his head off!" It was true that an illness had made its appearance among the caterpillars.
"Now that you have seen what there is in the forest," said Karr, "will you come home with me?" "Yes, it's about time," observed the elk. Both were silent on the way home. Karr sighed several times, as if he was disappointed about something; but Grayskin stepped along his head in the air and seemed delighted over the adventure. He walked ahead unhesitatingly until they came to the enclosure.
