M. des Rameures received this intelligence with one of the resonant coughs peculiar to him. "May I ask, without indiscretion, whether she is endowed with a pleasing person?" "She is exceedingly beautiful," was the reply. "Hem! So much the better. It seems to me the General is a little old for her: but every one is the best judge of his own affairs: Hem! the best judge of his own affairs.
You refuse to be my adopted son. Well, I regret this, and must have recourse to other projects to aid you. I warn you I shall try other projects. You must not sell your lands if you wish to become a deputy, for the country people especially those of Des Rameures will not hear of it. Meantime you will need funds. Permit me to offer you three hundred thousand francs.
"Parbleu I unquestionably you are right," warmly rejoined M. des Rameures. "Yes, that is quite true. The excessive centralization of which I complain has had its hour of utility, nay, even of necessity, I will admit; but, Monsieur, in what human institution do you pretend to implant the absolute, the eternal?
In consequence of this combination of circumstances, M. de Camors, toward the end of his twenty-eighth year, was elected, at intervals of a few days, member of the Council-General, and deputy to the Corps Legislatif. "You have desired it, my dear Elise," said M. des Rameures, on learning this double result "you have desired it, and I have supported this young Parisian with all my influence.
She had been left an orphan at an early age and educated by her mother's brother, M. des Rameures. Roland lived very near her Everything brought them together the wishes of the family, compatibility of fortune, their relations as neighbors, and a personal sympathy.
"Pardon me, Madame, but I inquired for Monsieur des Rameures." "He is at the farm, but will soon return. Be kind enough to wait." She pointed to a chair, and seated herself, pushing away with her foot the branches that strewed the floor. "But, Madame, in the absence of Monsieur des Rameures may I have the honor of speaking with his niece?"
You will greatly oblige me!" "Certainly, General, I shall do so." "For my part, I love her like a fool." "That is only right, General!" "Hum and what of Des Rameures?" "I think we shall agree, General!" "Bravo! we shall talk more of this later. Go and see her, my dear child!" Camors proceeded to the Rue St. Dominique, where Madame de la Roche-Jugan resided.
It is a thing I can not understand; but as for you, my young comrade, you have little need to be instructed in that matter. You can't fail to please her; you have only to make yourself agreeable. But you will know how to do it you will conduct yourself like an angel, I am sure." "Captivate Des Rameures and his niece this is your advice!"
"My dear Mopsus," M. des Rameures said to the cure, "you were about to read us your sermon on superstition last Thursday, when you were interrupted by that joker who climbed the tree in order to hear you better. Now is the time to recompense us. Take this seat and we will all listen to you."
I tell you, my boy, you must please them, for Des Rameures is the master of the county. He protects me, or else, upon my honor, I should be stopped on the road!" "But, General, what shall I do to please this Des Rameures?" "You will see him. He is, as I tell you, a great oddity. He has not been in Paris since 1825; he has a horror of Paris and Parisians.
