The more he owes the better; but, above all, make him play. 'He can't pay a shilling, answered I. 'The Jews will not discount his notes at cent. per cent. 'So much the better. You shall see we will make use of them, answered the old gentleman. And I must confess that the plan he laid was a gallant, clever, and fair one. I was to make Magny play; in this there was no great difficulty.
After his Highness the Prince married the Princess Mary of F , as they were walking in the English park together they once met old Magny riding in the sun in the easy chair, in which he was carried commonly abroad after his paralytic fits.
When admitted, he produced the emerald. "This jewel," said he, "has been found on the person of a Heidelberg Jew, who has been here repeatedly of late, and has had many dealings with her Highness's equerry, the Chevalier de Magny.
'And what then, sir? said I. 'What then? said my uncle, looking me hard in the face. 'Are you so green as not to know what then? Your fortune is to be made, if you choose to back it now; and we may have back the Barry estates in two years, my boy. 'How is that? asked I, still at a loss. My uncle drily said, 'Get Magny to play; never mind his paying: take his notes of hand.
I love you and embrace you. Think sometimes of your old troubadour. Friday G. Sand I think that I shall give you pleasure and joy when I tell you that La Conjuration d'Ambroise, thus says my porter, is announced as a real money-maker. There was a line this evening as at Villemer, and Magny which is also a barometer, shows fair weather. So be content, if that keeps up, Bouilhet is a success. Sunday
'The Prince's Master of the Horse, a friend of the old Baron de Magny, who was present at the interview, no sooner heard the strange intelligence than he hastened away to the old general with the dreadful news of his grandson's supposed crime.
'Old Magny, one of the most rigid and cold of men on common occasions, when he saw this outbreak of passion on the Prince's part, became, as my informant has described to me, as much affected as his master. The old man from being cold and high, suddenly fell, as it were, into the whimpering querulousness of extreme old age.
While we were here, the Tanks came up, and so excellent had been the liaison, that from the Tank which stopped behind "A" and "C" Companies stepped the officer with whom they had arranged details the day before. At about 1 o'clock we moved on again our centre through Magny la Fosse and our Flank Companies on each side of it.
The next day I rode thirty-five miles into the territory of the Elector of B , and met Monsieur de Schmetterling, and passed my sword twice through his body; then rode back with my second, the Chevalier de Magny, and presented myself at the Duchess's whist that evening. Magny was very unwilling to accompany me at first; but I insisted upon his support, and that he should countenance my quarrel.
And, jangling at the bell as if for an alarm of fire, the door was at length opened by the porter, and his Highness ran up to the Generals bedchamber, followed by the page with the box. "Magny Magny," roared the Prince, thundering at the closed door, "get up!" And to the queries of the old man from within, answered, "It is I Victor the Prince! get up!"
