Be that as it may, Madame de Fleury immediately left cards for Mademoiselle de Gramont, and her example was followed by the Countess Orlowski, and a host of other ladies, who conscientiously walked in her footsteps. The morning of the third day after Count Tristan's seizure passed much in the same manner as the second. Maurice conducted his grandmother and Bertha to Madeleine's residence.
What a dignified air she has! What a graceful bearing! I wish I could see her face. She must be handsome with such a perfect figure. Yes, I am right, it is the Countess Orlowski, for the servant has admitted her." As the lady was passing through the hall, she said to the domestic, "No, you need not announce me; I will go at once to the chamber of Madame de Fleury."
In this etude Kleczynski thinks there are traces of weariness of life, and quotes Orlowski, Chopin's friend," He is only afflicted with homesickness." Willeby calls this study the most beautiful of them all. For me it is both morbid and elegiac. There is nostalgia in it, the nostalgia of a sick, lacerated soul.
"Then the lady who just visited you was not Madame Orlowski?" inquired the count, more puzzled than ever. "No, indeed; she is worth a thousand Madame Orlowski's!" The count's glance at his mother seemed again to ask her permission to allow him to announce that Madeleine was their relative. "We felt certain that she was one of the magnates" began the count. The marchioness interrupted him.
She leaves us poor, friendless, dependent; she returns to us rich, powerful, and with influential friends ready to serve those who once protected her. But I think I have found the key to the enigma. Did we not hear strict orders given that none but the Countess Orlowski should be admitted? Well, Madeleine was at once allowed to enter: it follows, beyond doubt, that she is the Countess Orlowski."
Hence also, except for Breughel—not Van der Helle, but the landscapist, for there are two Breughels55—and except for Ruysdael, in the whole north where has there been a landscape artist of the first rank? The sky, the sky is necessary.” “Our painter Orlowski,”56 interrupted Telimena, “had a Soplica’s taste.
"But have the goodness to unravel to us this grand mystery," demanded the count. "Madeleine is married married to Count Orlowski, the Russian ambassador." "A nobleman of position!" added the countess. "How did this come about?" inquired the count. M. de Bois looked stupefied. "Who who said she was married?" he gasped out. "Why do you imagine that she is mar ar arried?"
And in the Gazette musicale of March 25, 1838, there is a report by M. Legouve of Chopin's appearance at a concert given by his countryman Orlowski at Rouen, where the latter had settled after some years stay in Paris. But here is what Legouve says about this concert.
Worse still, Orlowski served up the themes of his concerto into mazurkas and had the impudence to publish them. Then came the last blow: he was asked by a music seller for his portrait, which he refused, having no desire, he said with a shiver, to see his face on cheese and butter wrappers. Some of the criticisms were glowing, others absurd as criticisms occasionally are.
We must make allowances for Madame de Fleury's ruling passion. Her toilet first, all the world afterward!" A carriage just then drove to the door, and attracted the attention of Bertha, who was standing by the open window. "What magnificent horses! and what a neat equipage! All the appointments in such admirable taste! A lady is descending. I suppose it must be the Countess Orlowski.
