With a short laugh, Wertheimer unmasked and exposed a face of decidedly English type, fair and well-modelled, betraying only the faintest traces of Semitic cast to account for his surname. And with this example, Popinot snatched off his own black visor and glared at Lanyard: in his shabby dress, the incarnate essence of bourgeoisie outraged.
"Be hopeful, dear friend," said Constance. "All will go well, papa; Monsieur Anselme Popinot told me he would shed his blood for you." "For me?" said Cesar, trying to speak gaily; "and for the family as well. Isn't it so?" Cesarine pressed her father's hand, as if to let him know she was betrothed to Anselme.
"So Madame d'Espard knew the motives of your retirement?" said the judge, controlling the emotion he felt at this narrative. "Yes, monsieur." Popinot gave an expressive shrug; he rose and opened the door into the next room. "Noel, you can go," said he to his clerk.
"No, monsieur, I have lived from hand to mouth, that I might scrape up this money; but I hope, in time, to repair the wrongs I have done to my neighbor." "Ah!" said the painter, swallowing a mouthful of pate de foie gras, "you are truly a man of honor." "What is Madame Birotteau doing?" asked Madame Lourdois. "She is keeping the books of Monsieur Anselme Popinot."
Put the Virgin in full sight, but not ostentatiously, in the dining-room, on a chair. Pray heaven, I may not get mixed up in what I have to say!" cried Cesar, naively. "Popinot, this man has a chemical effect upon me; his voice heats my stomach, and even gives me a slight colic. He is my benefactor, and in a few moments he will be yours."
"You do not know, perhaps," replied Popinot, "that in your petition your attorney represents your children as being very unhappy with their father?" Madame d'Espard replied with charming innocence: "I do not know what my attorney may have put into my mouth." "Forgive my inferences," said Popinot, "but Justice weighs everything.
It was no secret that Liane Delorme's panic flight from Popinot had hurried the yacht out of Cherbourg harbour four days earlier than her proposed sailing date, whereas the Sybarite had a rendezvous to keep with her owner at a certain hour of a certain night, an appointment carefully calculated with consideration for the phase of the moon and the height of the tide, therefore not readily to be altered.
After this little soliloquy the famous physician bent his steps, at seven in the morning, towards the Rue du Fouarre, where dwelt Monsieur Jean-Jules Popinot, judge of the Lower Court of the Department of the Seine. The Rue du Fouarre an old word meaning straw was in the thirteenth century the most important street in Paris.
"Well," continued Cesar, "a credit of a hundred thousand francs, secured on my share of the purchase, will suffice to carry me along until I can reap certain profits from a discovery of mine in perfumery. Should it be necessary, I will cover your risk by notes on a new establishment, the firm of A. Popinot "
"Too much for so little," said Vauquelin, rather bored by the voluble gratitude of the perfumer. "Ta, ta, ta!" exclaimed Birotteau, "you can't prevent our loving you, you who will take nothing from us. You are like the sun; you give light, and those whom you illuminate can give you nothing in return." The man of science smiled and rose; the perfumer and Popinot rose also.
