Said he wouldn't have ventured to intrude otherwise: and dad froze to ice right there. But LaChaise went on and spoke his piece just the same. He said he'd come to-night to verify the enthusiastic reports he had heard of her singing but that she had outdone them all.
I went to the door with him and we made a little conversation there for a minute or two just to take off the edge. That's when I found out where he'd been. "Father had taken LaChaise into the drawing-room when I got back but I don't believe either of them had said three words. They were waiting for me.
But, as we have seen, nothing could restrain the triumvirate which held the power just then, and thanks to the suggestions of Pere Lachaise and Madame de Maintenon, Louis XIV determined to gain heaven by means of wheel and stake. As we see, for the Protestants, thanks to these numerous decrees, persecution began at the cradle and followed them to the grave.
When LaChaise arrived the discovery that he talked no English at all beyond a few rudimentary phrases, a fact which normally would have seemed calamitous, was now merely treated as an added feature of the evening. He and Novelli were in the midst of an animated discussion when they arrived.
If his wife signed a contract he would put no obstacles in the way of her fulfilling it. Beyond that he had obviously nothing to say. "Well, that was about all. They both put on all the trimmings saying good night to each other and LaChaise thanked me very handsomely for interpreting. I chucked him into his overcoat and let him out the front door. And bolted it after him, you bet!
"Where are you?" she asked. Then she came up to March and took him by the arms. "Was it good?" she asked. "Was it a little as you meant it to sound?" When he did not speak, she laughed, a rich low laugh that had a hint of tears in it, pulled him up to her and kissed his cheek. "You don't have to answer, my dear," she said. "Come in and hear what LaChaise has got to say about it."
Not the whole of Chopin's body, however, was buried at Pere- Lachaise; his heart was conveyed to his native country and is preserved in the Holy Cross Church at Warsaw, where at the end of 1879 or beginning of 1880 a monument was erected, consisting of a marble bust of the composer in a marble niche.
"According to the American ideal," he said, "they are but I do admit that they show a rather extraordinary imagination. I've often thought that I should like to make the acquaintance of the woman, of course, it's a woman who conceived the notion of this mortuary tea-room." "Why, of course, is it a woman?" "A man wouldn't set up housekeeping in in Père Lachaise."
For certain, directly Bazouge arrived, a smell of death seemed to permeate the partition. One might have thought oneself lodging against the Pere Lachaise cemetery, in the midst of the kingdom of moles. He was frightful, the animal, continually laughing all by himself, as though his profession enlivened him.
His final resting-place, in the cemetery of Pere Lachaise, in Paris, would not be sought out by thousands every year and kept bright with flowers, the gift of those who have themselves both loved and suffered. Pierre Abelard or, more fully, Pierre Abelard de Palais was a native of Brittany, born in the year 1079.
