A week later, Lousteau, who hardly remembered Dinah, was startled by another budget from Sancerre eight leaves, sixteen pages! He heard a woman's step; he thought it announced a search from the Marquise, and tossed these rapturous and entrancing proofs of affections into the fire unread! "A woman's letter!" exclaimed Madame Schontz, as she came in. "The paper, the wax, are scented "
Madame de la Baudraye could smile to see Lousteau with one article on the Legitimist side and one on the side of the new dynasty, both on the same occasion. She admired the maxim he preached: "We are the attorneys of public opinion." The other kind of criticism is a science.
I, who have seen many things, and strange things too, know that among the ranks of deceived husbands there are some whose attitude is not devoid of energy, men who, at a crisis, can be very dramatic, to use one of your words, monsieur," he said, addressing Etienne. "You are very right, my dear Monsieur Gravier," said Lousteau.
When a family expatriates itself, the natives of a place as attractive as Issoudun have a right to inquire into the reasons of so surprising a step. It was said by certain sharp tongues that Doctor Rouget, a vindictive man, had been heard to exclaim that Monsieur Lousteau should die by his hand. Uttered by a physician, this declaration had the force of a cannon-ball.
"Darling angel," replied Lousteau, taking Dinah in his arms, lifting her from her chair, and dragging her half dead into the drawing-room, "we have both pledged our future, it is sacrifice for sacrifice. While I was loving you at Sancerre, they were engaging me to be married here, but I refused. Oh! I was extremely distressed "
The whole seemed to be of one block of marble. Then he gave a hollow roar like that of a hyaena "Well, we fancied that the cry of the hyaena was a recent invention of our own!" said Lousteau, "and here it was already known to the literature of the Empire. It is even introduced with a certain skill in natural history, as we see in the word hollow."
It is a craze with these little minds to fancy that there is not room for two successes under the sun; so he will see that your article finds a place in the big paper for which he writes." "But what is there to be said against the book; it is good work!" cried Lucien. "Oh, I say! you must learn your trade," said Lousteau, laughing.
So, to conclude, the head-clerk, who was the late head-clerk's deputy for two years, agrees to take the girl with the business." "Mean wretch!" exclaimed Lousteau. "What! in two hours he has made up his mind?" "Bless me, that is simple enough.
"Your acquaintance cannot have had much to do with publishers, or he would have hidden his manuscript in the loneliest spot in his dwelling," remarked Vernou, looking at Lucien as he spoke. Just at that moment a good-looking young man came into the shop, gave a hand to Finot and Lousteau, and nodded slightly to Vernou.
"Yes," said Lousteau, "old Camusot married little Daddy Cardot's eldest daughter, and they had high times together!" "Well!" Madame Schontz went on, "and Madame Cardot, the notary's wife, was a Chiffreville manufacturers of chemical products, the aristocracy of these days! Potash, I tell you! Still, this is the unpleasant side of the matter.
