"Yes," I said, "one of those laced, braced, corseted old fellows of sixty, who work such wonders by the grace of their forms, and who might give a lesson to the youngest dandies among us." "Monsieur de Lustrac is as selfish as a king, but gallant and pretentious, spite of his jet black wig." "As to his whiskers, he dyes them." "He goes to ten parties in an evening: he's a butterfly."
Monsieur de Lustrac, the Universal Amadis, hurried to Madame de Fischtaminel's, narrated this little scene with all the spirit at his command, and Madame de Fischtaminel put on an air something like Celimene's and said: "Poor creature, what an extremity she must be in!" I say nothing of Caroline's confusion, you have already divined it. Here is the second.

Monsieur de Lustrac said of me to Monsieur de Bourgarel, 'I would not advise you to pay court to that woman; she is too dear." "PARIS, 183- "You ask me, dear mother, whether I am happy with my husband. Certainly Monsieur de Fischtaminel was not the ideal of my dreams. I submitted to your will, as you know. His fortune, that supreme consideration, spoke, indeed, sufficiently loud.
I appeared vexed at the entrance of my husband, who made a scene on the viscount's departure: 'I assure you, sir, said I, after having listened to his reproaches, 'that it's altogether moral. My husband saw the point and went no more to Madame de Fischtaminel's. I received Monsieur de Lustrac no more, either."
Napoleon appointed Lustrac to an important office, in a conquered province. Madame de Lustrac, abandoned for governmental duties, took a private secretary for her private affairs, though it was altogether moral: but she was wrong in selecting him without informing her husband.
"The opinion of your admirer reduced this weighty trouble to what is, in this case as in yours, a very petty one." "A petty trouble!" she exclaimed, "and pray for what do you take the fatigue of coquetting with a de Lustrac, of whom I have made an enemy! Ah, women often pay dearly enough for the bouquets they receive and the attentions they accept.
