But I have never been there without spending 1,500 francs per month, and as I do not spend here the half of this, it is neither the love of work, nor that of spending, nor that of GLORY, which makes me stay. I do not know whether I have been pillaged; but I am at a loss how to avoid it with my nonchalance, in so vast a house, and so easy a kind of life as that of Nohant.
This celebrated physician thought him in great danger, but, on seeing him recover rapidly, augured that with proper care his patient might nevertheless live a long time. Their stay at Marseilles was more protracted than they intended and desired; in fact, they did not start for Nohant till the 22nd of May. Dr.
He is more of a scholar than I am, I who will appreciate, thanks to my ignorance about many things, only the poetic and great side of it. I am sure of it, I know already that it is there. Keep on going about, you must, and above all continue to love us as we love you. Your old troubadour, G. Sand CCLV. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Nohant, 7th April, 1873
I love you with all my heart. Friend, I shall come at your call as soon as you say to me, "I have finished." I love you, and I embrace you. G. Sand CCXCIV. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Nohant, 15 August My poor, dear, old fellow, I learn only today in a letter from that dear, lazy soul of a Tourgueneff, about the misfortune which has come to your niece. Is it then irreparable?
I shall not tell you anything new about myself. I live so little in myself. This will be a good reason for you to talk about what interests me more, that is to say, about yourself. Tell me ahead so that I can spare you that horrid coach from Chateauroux to Nohant. If you could bring Tourgueneff, we should be happy, and you would have the most perfect travelling companion.
She had sufficient grounds to allege for her claim, and had then every reason to hope that her demand would not even be contested by M. Dudevant, who, on former occasions, had voluntarily signed but afterwards revoked the agreement she hereby only desired to make valid and permanent, and which, ensuring to him a certain proportion of her income, gave her Nohant for a place of habitation, and established the children under her care.
For I have undertaken a work of great scope, which will require a lot of time, a prospect that pleases me. Ever since a month ago, I have been expecting Tourgueneff from week to week. The gout is delaying him still. CCXL. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croissset Nohant, 22 November, 1872 I don't think that I shall go to Paris before February.
FROM the date of 1840, the health of Chopin, affected by so many changes, visibly declined. During some years, his most tranquil hours were spent at Nohant, where he seemed to suffer less than elsewhere. He composed there, with pleasure, bringing with him every year to Paris several new compositions, but every winter caused him an increase of suffering.
In order to finish my book in the spring of 1869, I must not give myself a week of holiday; that is why I do not go to Nohant. It is always the story of the Amazons. In order to draw the bow better they crushed their breast. It is a fine method after all. Adieu, dear master, write to me, won't you? I embrace you tenderly. LXXIV. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, at Croisset Nohant, 31 December, 1867
No, I shall not do it!" and he did not do it, and yet he knew that this creature whom he adored would not forgive it him. Poor friend, how I have seen him suffer! Of the quarrel at Nohant, Franchomme gave the following account: -There was staying at that time at Nohant a gentleman who treated Madame Clesinger invariably with rudeness.
