And, if the resemblances are closer between works of the de Goncourts less known, such as Charles Demailly, or Manette Salomon and the Lost Illusions, Peter Grassou, the Muse of the County, yet the means employed by the two brothers to endow with life and form Renee Mauperin and Germinie Lacerteux, fixing a background, stamping the outlines, filling in details, adding particularities, all this was Balzacian method, insufficient forsooth, in the domain of psychology, but furnishing idiosyncrasy in plentiful variations.
And such an excellent match!" "You think so? I began to fear for her. And that's why I lent myself to her prank. He is too hopelessly commonplace a tailor's dummy! He would never have understood her. Your sister ought to marry a man of intelligence and character." And Madame Mauperin, as she prepared for bed, lectured her husband upon acceding to all his favourite's whims.
It may not be improper to observe, with respect to Mr. Thornhill, that he now resides as companion at a relation's house. My eldest daughter has told me that when he reforms she may be brought to relent. I had now nothing on this side of the grave to wish for. All my cares were over.

To Denoisel fell the painful duty of informing Mauperin of his son's death. The old man's grief was heartbreaking. When Denoisel was admitted to Renée, he found her sitting on a footstool, sobbing, with her handkerchief pressed to her mouth. "Renée," he said, taking her hands, "he has been killed that man should never have known.
