You would much better come to Magny's where you would find me alone, or with Plauchut, or with friends who are also yours. I embrace you. I received today the letter which you wrote to me at Nohant. G. Sand CXVIII. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Paris, 18 May, 1869 I saw Levy today, I tested him at first; I saw that he would not give up his contract at any price.
Leave that to me, I will return your contract. What day next week will you dine with me at Magny's? I am a little weary. You would be very kind to come to read at my house, we should be alone and one evening will be enough for the rest. Set the day, and AT SIX THIRTY if that does not bother you. My stomach is beginning to suffer a little from Paris habits. Your troubadour who loves you, G. Sand
I arrived last night, I am running around like a rat, but every day at 6 o'clock one is sure of finding me at Magny's, and the first day that you are free, come to dine with your old troubadour who loves you and embraces you. Send word ahead to me, however, so that by an exceptional chance, I do not have the ill luck to miss you. Monday. CXIII. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Thursday evening, 29 April, 1869
I embrace you with all my heart in that hope. The late Goulard, G. Sand. X. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Paris, 4 Aug., 1866 Dear friend, as I'm always out, I don't want you to come and find the door shut and me far away. Come at six o'clock and dine with me and my children whom I expect tomorrow. We dine at Magny's always at 6 o'clock promptly.
His Hebrew connections at X , money-brokers, bankers, horse-dealers, about the Court there, must have told their Heidelberg brother what Magny's relations with the Princess were; and the rascal determined to take advantage of these, and to press to the utmost both victims.
Your old troubadour is here, not so badly off. He will go to dine on Monday at Magny's, we shall agree on a day for both of us to dine with Maurice. He is at home at five o'clock but not before Monday. He is running around! He embraces you. Then Wednesday, if you wish, my dear old fellow. Whom do you want to have with us? Certainly, the dear Beuve if that is possible, and no one if you like.
Freckle, being again emboldened by wine, and affronted at the subordinate position assigned him, repeatedly cried that, for his part, he preferred the "old Latin Quarter," and challenged the chairman to produce a finer repast than Magny's in the Rue Counterscarp.
The page brought in the box, and was bidden to wait without, which he did; but there led from Monsieur de Magny's bedroom into his antechamber two doors, the great one which formed the entrance into his room, and a smaller one which led, as the fashion is with our houses abroad, into the closet which communicates with the alcove where the bed is.
The reaction of '48 opened a deep chasm between the two Frances. Bouilhet told me that you had been seriously ill at one of the recent Magny's, although you do pretend to be a "woman of wood." Oh! no you are not of wood, dear good great heart! "Beloved old troubadour," would it not perhaps be opportune to rehabilitate him at the Theatre Almanzor?
Moses Lowe recognised the emerald at once, gave Magny the sum the latter demanded, which the Chevalier lost presently at play: never, you may be sure, acquainting us with the means by which he had made himself master of so much capital. Thus Magny's money was very soon gone.
