We are not expressly informed that Caesar after the civil war instituted similar general liquidations of debt in the provinces; yet from what has just been remarked and from what was done in the case of Italy, it can hardly be doubted that Caesar likewise directed his efforts towards this object, or at least that it formed part of his plan.
But the poor man became involved in one of the liquidations of the house of Nucingen, and died of grief, leaving nothing behind him but a dozen fine pictures which adorned his daughter's salon, and a few old-fashioned pieces of furniture, which she put in the garret.
So saying, he held out a bit of pasteboard, on which, below his name, were inscribed the words: "Liquidations. Settlements effected for insolvent parties." "Ah! that's a different thing," said the servant. "Will monsieur take the trouble to follow me?" M. Fortunat did take the trouble; and he was conducted into a large drawing-room where he was requested to sit down and await madame's coming.
There are now more liquidations than bankruptcies in Paris. The assignee's act in the drama is intended to prove that every assignee is incorruptible, and that no collusion has ever existed between any of them and the bankrupt. The pit which has all, more or less, been assignee in its day knows very well that every assignee is a "covered" merchant. It listens, and believes as it likes.
He gave his attention to contested claims, liquidations, the recovery of legacies, and so on, as was shown by the inscription in large letters which figured on the elegant brass plate adorning his door.
