'It ees a goot time to marry Malfina; you vill be der brodector off that boor family vat ess in tears; you vill haf ein family, a home off your own; you vill haf a house ready vurnished, und Malfina is truly ein dreashure." "I seem to hear that old Robert Macaire of a Nucingen himself," said Finot. "'A charming girl, said Ferdinand du Tillet in a cool, unenthusiastic tone," Bixiou continued.
Cautin shrugged his shoulders, and addressing the count in the Frankish tongue the prelate spoke the language like any of the barbarians he said: "Are you a Christian and a Catholic? Did you receive holy baptism?" "Bishop Macaire, twenty years ago, ordered me to step naked into the stone tank of his basilica; he then threw a handful of water upon my head and mumbled some Latin words."
Henry was always plotting to be funny. When Toole as Jacques Strop hid the dinner in his pocket, Henry, after much labor, thought of his hiding the plate inside his waistcoat. There was much laughter later on when Macaire, playfully tapping Strop with his stick, cracked the plate, and the pieces fell out!
When Macaire has sufficiently exploite the Bourse, whether as a gambler in the public funds or other companies, he sagely perceives that it is time to turn to some other profession, and, providing himself with a black gown, proposes blandly to Bertrand to set up a new religion. On which M. Bertrand remarks, "A religion! what the devil a religion is not an easy thing to make."
As usual, the stupid Bertrand remonstrates "But we have not sold a single share; you have not a penny in your pocket, and" "Bertrand, you are an ass; do as I bid you." * We have given a description of a genteel Macaire in the account of M. de Bernard's novels. Will this satire apply anywhere in England? Have we any Consolidated European Blacking Associations amongst us?
M. Macaire is more skilful in love than in law, and appears once or twice in a very amiable light while under the influence of the tender passion.
At Portets are the ruins of the Château of Langoiran, built before America was discovered, and, a few miles farther on, we came to the region of the famous wines of Sauterne and Château-Yquem. Saint Macaire is a very ancient Gallo-Roman town, where they show one churches, walls, and houses built fifteen centuries ago.
You know enough about stage business to play the part of Robert Macaire very respectably and you also know that I am not very slow in Jaques Strop. You'll make a hit, depend on it. I'll get you the book, and you can look over the part. Leave all to me; I'll arrange everything. Let's go in and drink!"
It was that his favorite rôle of Robert Macaire had not had all the development of which it was capable. He associated with himself two authors, Antier and Saint-Amant, who accepted his ideas and wove them into a new play under his direction, bearing the name of his thieving hero. The success the piece achieved was something prodigious.
Accordingly, on digging, the body of the unhappy Aubri was found. Some time after, the dog accidentally met the assassin, who is styled, by all the historians who relate the story, the Chevalier Macaire, when, instantly seizing him by the throat, he was with great difficulty compelled to quit his victim.
