"Father," said Marie-Theodore Phellion, the future engineer of "ponts et chaussees," when the family were once more seated in the salon, "it seems to me that there is nothing dishonorable in changing one's determination about a choice which is of no real consequence to public welfare." "No consequence, my son!" cried Phellion.
While thanking us for our compliment he has take note of this indicated for our suffrages the candidate of Monsieur le maire as being, in his opinion, capable, owing to the position he formerly occupied, of exercising the magisterial functions of the aedileship." And Phellion sat down amid approving murmurs. "Thuillier, you can count on me, your old friend," said Colleville.
"What! their upholsterer?" cried Phellion, "that distinguished woman, of whom one may truly say, 'Incessu patuit dea'; which in French we very inadequately render by the expression, 'bearing of a queen'?" "Excuse me," said Minard.
La Peyrade, thus arrested, looked round and found himself in the arms of Phellion. The scene took place in front of a house which was being pulled down at the corner of the rues Duphot and Saint-Honore.
"Commander," said Theodose, as soon as he was alone with Phellion, who was always flattered by that title, "I have come to speak to you about the election " "Yes, true; we are about to nominate a municipal councillor," said Phellion, interrupting him.
One evening, in the month of February, 1840, the Thuillier salon contained the various personages whose silhouettes we have just traced out, together with some others. It was nearly the end of the month. Barbet and Metivier having business with mademoiselle Brigitte, were playing whist with Minard and Phellion.
"I am accustomed to submit to the judgment of those who are wiser than myself, monsieur, and you heard yesterday the manner in which the Abbe Gondrin spoke of Monsieur Phellion."
I have sent a line to Phellion, whose wife is intimate with Madame Pron, the successor " "Successoress," interrupted Madame Minard. "No," said Thuillier, "it ought to be success'ress; just as we say may'ress, dropping the O, you know." "Is it full dress?" asked Madame Minard. "Heavens! no," replied Thuillier; "you would get me finely scolded by my sister. No, it is only a family party.
"We suspected as much," replied Madame Phellion. "The fulfilment of these pledges was postponed to a rather distant period, and subordinated to certain conditions.
"Monsieur," Phellion was saying to Colleville as they came abreast of the Ecole de Mines, looking about him to see that no one was near, "it is usually my custom to submit my insight to that of others, but it is impossible for me not to think that that young lawyer plays the master at our friend Thuillier's."
