She thought a little sentimentally about Leonce and the children, and wondered what they were doing. As she gave a dainty scrap or two to the doggie, she talked intimately to him about Etienne and Raoul. He was beside himself with astonishment and delight over these companionable advances, and showed his appreciation by his little quick, snappy barks and a lively agitation.
Various other reviews of Jasmin's poems appeared, in Agen, Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Paris, by men of literary mark by Leonce de Lavergne, and De Mazude in the Revue des deux Mondes by Charles Labitte, M. Ducuing, and M. de Pontmartin.
When there was only one pile left, La Sarriette objected to her aunt taking it, as she had commenced; and she suddenly divided it between Mademoiselle Saget and Madame Leonce, who had watched them pocket the gold with feverish impatience. "Much obliged to you!" snarled the doorkeeper. "Fifty francs for having coddled him up with tisane and broth! The old deceiver told me he had no relatives!"
Madame Leonce was the doorkeeper of the house where Gavard lived in the Rue de la Cossonnerie. It was an old house standing back, with its ground floor occupied by an importer of oranges and lemons, who had had the frontage coloured blue as high as the first floor.
We well remember how, in his little shop at Agen, he described to us what he believed to be characteristic of his poetry; and we find in a letter from him to M. Leonce de Lavergne the substance of what he then said to us: "'I believe, he said, 'that I have portrayed a part of the noble sentiments which men and women may experience here below.
Edna took him in her arms, and seating herself in the rocker, began to coddle and caress him, calling him all manner of tender names, soothing him to sleep. It was not more than nine o'clock. No one had yet gone to bed but the children. Leonce had been very uneasy at first, Madame Ratignolle said, and had wanted to start at once for the Cheniere.
Here, if anywhere, amongst these abstractions you would have supposed that there was small room for idiosyncrasy. Yet at M. Léonce Rosenberg's gallery no amateur fails to spot the Picassos.
"Wasn't it enough to think of going to the Cheniere and waking you up?" she laughed. "Do I have to think of everything? as Leonce says when he's in a bad humor. I don't blame him; he'd never be in a bad humor if it weren't for me." They took a short cut across the sands.
Vagualame raised his hand as if taking heaven to witness that his statement was final. "Not a sou more! Not a sou less! Fifty thousand is the price: fifty thousand!" Henri de Loubersac hesitated a second, then concluded the interview. "Agreed to!... Be quick about it!... Adieu!" "Nichoune!... Nichoune!... Nichoune!" "Be off with you, Léonce! To the door!" It was a regular hubbub! An uproar!
M. Léonce de Lavergne, it is true, in his most interesting book upon the Provincial Assemblies under Lewis XVI., has endeavoured to show that in the great work of administrative reform all classes between 1778 and 1787 had shown themselves full of a liberal and practical spirit.
