I could give you many examples. I myself, in La Vivandière d'Austerlitz, staggered the house by my gaiety of tone, when I had just been informed that my Doulce, so great an artist and so good a husband, had had an epileptic fit in the orchestra at the Odéon, just as he was picking up his cornet."
I sent Madame Guerard to the Mairie in the neighbourhood of the Odeon, where such provisions were distributed, but some brute answered her that when I had removed all the religious images from my ambulance I should receive the necessary food. M. Herisson, the mayor, with some functionary holding an influential post, had been to inspect my ambulance.
He was then at the head of the museums, the royal manufactures, the Conservatory and the five royal theatres, the Opera, the Francois, the Odeon, the Opera-Comique, and the Italiens. From the point of view of arts and letters the reign of Charles X. was illustrious. The King encouraged, protected, pensioned the greater number of the great writers and artists who honored France.
Raphael so well understood the play that he gave me two or three EXCELLENT criticisms. I found him in other ways a charming boy. He asked me until Saturday to give me a definite answer. Ditched again. I must look elsewhere. Nothing new at the Odeon. Sarcey has published a second article against me. All that does not bother me at all.
Socrates, just guess whose lover he is why, the lady who keeps the circulating library in the Rue Mazarine. She is no longer very young, but she is very intelligent. Do you think he is faithful to her? I'll take off my stockings, it's more becoming." And she went on to tell him a story of the theatre: "I really don't think I shall remain at the Odéon much longer." "Why?" "You'll see.
Well, at the Odéon, attending Mademoiselle Pierrot, and a very pretty friend of hers, one of our vivandières, who happens to be in the brigade with mademoiselle's brother, and dined there to-day. She only arrived in Paris this morning; and, by Jove! there are some handsome faces in our gay salons would scarcely stand the rivalry with hers. I must show you the fair Minette."
Can you imagine him in the theatre it was the Odéon, I believe conscious of curious, amused glances a peasant, bulking conspicuously in that scented auditorium? When the curtain rose, he felt again the familiar pain of creation. A rush of hot blood surged around his heart. His temples throbbed. His eyes filled with tears. Then the flood receded and left him trembling with weakness.
In his youth he had once before appeared at the great and noble Theatre-Francais in a splendid romantic play of the style of "Pinto," a period when the classic reigned supreme. The Odeon was so violently agitated for three nights that the play was forbidden by the censor.
"In the first place, as member of the reading-committee of the Odeon, having to sit in judgment upon others, it would not become me to descend into the arena myself. I am an old athlete, whose business it is to judge of blows he can no longer give.
It has struck me that I owe it to myself to write my Memoirs, and that is the reason why I have just purchased this brown memorandum-book in the Odeon Arcade. I intend to make a detailed and particular entry of the event, and, as time goes on, of its consequences, if any should happen to flow from it. "Flow from it" is just the phrase; for it has to do with a blot of ink.
