He seeks immortality in an exact description of a linendraper's shop; if the shop conferred immortality it should be upon the linendraper who created the shop, and not on the novelist who described it. And his last novel "l'Œuvre," how spun out, and for a franc a line in the "Gil Blas." Not a single new or even exact observation.
Stuart Rem named a linendraper's establishment near the pantiles, where a fair young woman served. 'And her reputation? That was an article less presentable through plate-glass, it seemed: Mr. Stuart Rem drew a prolonged breath into his nose. 'It is most melancholy! they said in unison. 'Nothing positive, said he. 'But the suspicion of a shadow, Mr. Stuart Rem!
But you will say, 'There's the premium to consider! No such thing; Kit will set off the premium against his debt to me; so you will have nothing to pay. 'Tis a very pretty business; and the lad's education will get him on; so that's off your mind. As to the little chap, I'll take him at once. You say he is a pretty boy; and a pretty boy is always a help in a linendraper's shop.
With her opera-glass, she examined the meadow, then ran to the bottom of the garden, and lying down, peered over the sunk fence. But not a human being was in sight. Next she put on her bonnet, with the pretence of shopping, to see if there were any suspicious-looking persons in the street. But she did not meet a single person unknown to her between her aunt's door and Mr. Drew the linendraper's.

"Mrs. Fairfax?" A bow. "Will you please tell me what a gown would cost made somewhat like that in the window?" "For yourself, madam?" "Yes."
"Surely with all that wealth, no nearer heir than a remote kinsman in the son of a beggared spendthrift by a linendraper's daughter he should need a grandchild more than you do; yet the proofs you speak of convinced yourself; you believe my tale." "Believe yes, for that belief was everything in the world, to me!

But the next day at twelve o'clock she received a summons, and the sight of the stamped paper, on which appeared several times in large letters, "Maitre Hareng, bailiff at Buchy," so frightened her that she rushed in hot haste to the linendraper's. She found him in his shop, doing up a parcel. "Your obedient!" he said; "I am at your service."
We walked the whole length of the pier, chatting of our former meetings. 'Not here, she said, as soon as I began to question.
