Monsieur Marescot then arrived the following Saturday, wrapped up in a good warm overcoat, his big hands hidden in woolen gloves; and he was for ever talking of turning them out, whilst the snow continued to fall outside, as though it were preparing a bed for them on the pavement with white sheets. To have paid the quarter's rent they would have sold their very flesh.
Just then Monsieur Marescot, exasperated, and seemingly very unhappy, and clutching his fingers like a miser being despoiled of his gold, was giving way to Gervaise, promising to do the ceiling and repaper the shop on condition that she paid for half of the paper. And he hurried away declining to discuss anything further.
He then sent for General Dejean, who had succeeded M. de Marescot as first inspector of the Engineers. "Have you any one among your officers," he asked, "who is well acquainted with Ragusa?" Dejean, after a little reflection, replied, "Sire, there is a chef de bataillon who has been a long time forgotten, but who knows Elyria perfectly." "What's his name?" "Bernard." "Ah! stop . . . Bernard!
They were both disposed to give way. Bouvard ended by saying: "Good God! be it so, then." "Agreed," said Marescot. And then he mentioned the lender's name: it was Madame Bordin. "I suspected 'twas she!" exclaimed Pécuchet. Bouvard, who felt humiliated, had not a word to say. She or some one else what did it matter? The principal thing was to get out of their difficulties.
Foureau and Marescot interrupted him, exclaiming that he was a communist. "I a communist!" And all kept talking at the same time. When Pécuchet proposed to establish a club, Foureau had the hardihood to reply that they would never see such a thing at Chavignolles. After this, Gorju demanded guns for the National Guard, the general opinion having fixed on him as instructor.
M. Marescot, having finished his devotions, passed out into the shop and said to Coupeau: "I came for the two quarters that are due. Have you got the money for me?" "No sir, not entirely," said Gervaise, coming forward, excessively annoyed at this scene taking place in the presence of her sisters-in-law. "You see, this trouble came upon us "
Some workmen passed along the road singing the "Marseillaise," with Gorju among them brandishing a stick; Petit was escorting them, with fire in his eyes. "I don't like that!" said Marescot. "They are making a great outcry, and getting too excited." "Oh, bless my soul!" replied Coulon; "young people must amuse themselves." Foureau heaved a sigh.
And out she went, disgusted at their want of politeness. The astonishing news had struck them dumb. Then they went about the village venting their indignation. Marescot, whom they found surrounded by a pile of deeds, took a different view. The babbling of the Chamber was at an end, thank Heaven! Henceforth they would have a business policy.
Cambon, accordingly, in spite of the Jacobins, retains in his bureaux all whom he can among veteran officials. If Carnot manages the war well, it is owing to his being himself an educated officer and to maintaining in their positions d'Arcon, d'Obenheim, de Grimoard, de Montalembert and Marescot, all eminent men bequeathed to him by the ancient regime.
Girbal and the captain remained on the green; then the justice of the peace made his appearance, curious to obtain information, and after him came M. Marescot in a velvet cap and sheepskin slippers.
