A man is not a diplomate with impunity: the sposo was as secret as the grave so secret that the merchants of Genoa chose to regard the young Consul's attitude as premeditated, and the heiress might perhaps have slipped through his fingers if he had not played his part of a love-sick malade imaginaire. If it was real, the women thought it too degrading to be believed.
She only listened to hear whether the voice was kind, and with men in this uniform it usually was kind. Had they anything to eat? "Vous avez quelque chose a manger?" "Rien. Rien du tout." Wasn't her mother "trop malade a marcher?" She shrugged; Monsieur could see for himself. And her father? He was dead; "mort a la Marne, en quatorze." "At the Marne?"
It is a great burden to be thrown upon you, Madeleine." She interrupted him quickly. "You could hardly have spoken words less kind, Maurice. If this shock could not have been spared your father, I am thankful that it fell beneath my roof. He will be more quiet here than in a hotel, and can be better tended. If the countess will permit me, I will gladly constitute myself his chief garde malade.
Amongst these were the scholars, who pronounced the dramas of Gottsched far superior to those of Corneille and Racine; there were the German patriots, who would not grant a smile to the best representation of "Le Malade Imaginaire," but declared "The Hypochondriac," by Guistorp, the wittiest drama in the world.
They had kept on the trail like hounds until they overtook the party at the south end of Godin's defile. Here they found them comfortably encamped: twenty-two prime trappers, all well appointed, with excellent horses in capital condition led by Milton Sublette, and an able coadjutor named Jarvie, and in full march for the Malade hunting ground. This was stunning news.
Une femme du peuple qui avoit une petite fille malade avec le transport au cerveau, disoit au medecin, "Ah, monsieur, si vous l'aviez entendu cette nuit! elle a deraisonnee comme une grande personne."
It belongs to the school of French comedy, like Molière's Malade Imaginaire, not to the romantic comedy of Shakspere and Fletcher. The Comedy of Errors was an experiment of an exactly opposite kind.
The prostrate boy does not move. 'Thanase strides up to the bed and looks at one burning cheek, then turns to his aunt. "Li malade?" "Is he ill?" "Sa l'air a ca," said the aunt. "Bien, n'onc' Sosthène, adjieu." Uncle and nephew shake hands stoutly. "Adjieu," says the young soldier again to his aunt. She gives her hand and turns to hide a tear. The youth takes one step toward Zoséphine.
On entering the count's room Madeleine assured herself that there was no change in the patient's condition, and then said, "Come, Ruth, dinner is served; come, Maurice, if you assume the office of garde malade, I must take care that your strength is not exhausted." Her cheerfulness dispelled some of the heavy gloom that hung about Maurice, and he rose and followed her.
My pillow was then softened by the hand of affection, and all the little cares which were put in exercise to soothe the languor or pain were more flattering and pleasing than the consequences of the illness were disagreeable. It was a new sense to be watched and attended, and I used to think that the Malade imaginaire gained something by his humour. It is different in the latter stages.
