She united with Mme. de Longueville in protecting the persecuted Jansenists, Nicole and Arnauld, but she had neither the courage, the heroism, nor the partisan spirit of her more ardent companion. With all her devotion she was something of a sybarite and liked repose.
Excessively read in France, particularly during the eighteenth century, and active always in influencing the national conscience since the actual circulation of the "Essais de Morale" is said to have far exceeded that of the "Pensées" of Pascal Nicole has never, in the accepted phrase, "contrived to cross the Channel," and he is scarcely known in England.
Lupin went up to him: "Are you looking for M. Nicole?" "Yes, M. Nicole and two gentlemen." "From a lady?" "Yes, Mme. Mergy." "Is she staying at your hotel?" "No. She did not get out. She beckoned to me, described you three gentlemen and told me to say that she was going on to Genoa, to the Hotel Continental." "Was she by herself?" "Yes."

When Racine read aloud he diffused his own enthusiasm once with Boileau and Nicole, amid a literary circle, they talked of Sophocles, whom Racine greatly admired, but from whom he had never dared to borrow a tragic subject.
Daubrecq will resist long enough, at any rate, for us to reach him. Just think! Prasville is at my orders!" "Suppose he discovers who you are? The least inquiry will prove that there is no such person as M. Nicole." "But it will not prove that M. Nicole is the same person as Arsene Lupin. Besides, make yourself easy.
