M. de Véron himself was frequently in the habit of calling, on his way to or from Mon Séjour, for a pâté and a little lively badinage with the comely widow; and so frequently, at one time, that Edouard le Blanc was half-inclined to Madame Carson's infinite amusement to be jealous of the rich, though elderly merchant's formal and elaborate courtesies.
