The learned counsel's argument about a vice d'esprit is a pitiable pun. The decision of the court, unluckily, is not preserved by Le Loyer. The counsel for Bolacre told Le Loyer that the case was adjourned on the formal point, but, that, having obtained letters royal for his client, he succeeded in getting the remainder of the lease declared void. Comparing, however, Bouchel, s. v.
I see them from the inside now, and their aspect is changed. And, then, I am free no longer." He sighed: "Ah, if the people only knew the little that we can do when we are powerful!" He told her his impressions. Berthier was reserved. The others were impenetrable. Loyer alone was excessively authoritative. She listened to him without attention and without impatience.
Garain sacrificed his personal convenience to superior interests. Senator Loyer made a wry face. He wanted the Seals. It was a long-cherished desire. A teacher of law under the Empire, he gave, in cafes, lessons that were appreciated. He had the sense of chicanery.
He looked at the two dancers who were extending their short and muscular legs on the bar. Lariviere murmured: "The army's patriotism is excellent; the good-will of the chiefs is at the height of the most critical circumstances." Loyer tapped his shoulder. "My dear colleague, there is some use in having big armies."
However, in the hall, in the corridors, the names of the new Ministers went from mouth to mouth in the midst of profound indifference: President of the Council and Minister of the Interior, Berthier-d'Eyzelles; justice and Religions, Loyer; Treasury, Martin-Belleme. All the ministers were known except those of Commerce, War, and the Navy, who were not yet designated.
That badly dressed man with long hair, who, under his dusty coat, resembled a clown, inspired so little confidence in him that he suspected a snare, perhaps a bad joke. "Monsieur Loyer is Keeper of the Seals," said Count Martin. "General, you cannot refuse," Loyer said. "I have said you will accept. If you hesitate, it will be favoring the offensive return of Garain. He is a traitor."
And she was pointing disdainfully to a grinning young man, with a gardenia in his button-hole, who stood near them. Loyer motioned to the General that he wished to speak to him, and, pushing him against the bar, said: "I have the pleasure to announce to you that you have been appointed Minister of War." Lariviere, distrustful, said nothing.
"The situation," he said, "exacts circumspection. We are facing a perilous unknown." Then Loyer, looking at his war colleague with cynical contempt, said: "In the very improbable case of a war, don't you think, my dear colleague, that the real generals would be the station-masters?" The three Ministers went out by the private stairway. The President of the Council was waiting for them.
"Yet the most important fact in the political history of recent years is the possibility, I should say the necessity, to introduce unity of views in the government of the republic. These are ideas which you, my dear Garin, have expressed with rare eloquence." M. Berthier-d'Eyzelles kept silence. Senator Loyer rolled crumbs with his fingers.
Gentlemen, I appeal to your devotion." And the laborious distribution of the portfolios began again. Count Martin received, in the first place, the Public Works, which he refused, for lack of competency, and afterward the Foreign Affairs, which he accepted without objection. But M. Berthier-d'Eyzelles, to whom Garain offered Commerce and Agriculture, reserved his decision. Loyer got the Colonies.
