Saillard is rich and does not need a pension. "Baudoyer. Utterly incapable. To be thanked and dismissed. Rich; does not need a pension. "Godard. Should be dismissed; pension one-third of his present salary. "In short, here we all are. Great deal of capacity, little self-respect, no application, a restless spirit. Ha! I'll give you a touch of the artist, Monsieur Rabourdin!" Saillard.
A new hat for Saillard was a matter of deliberation; the time a coat could last was estimated and discussed; umbrellas were carefully hung up by means of a brass buckle. Since 1804 no repairs of any kind had been done to the house. The Saillards kept the ground-floor in precisely the state in which their predecessor left it.
"She sent Godard to Rabourdin's door to find out what newspaper he takes," said Gaudron; "and I mentioned the name to the secretary of his Eminence, for we live at a crisis when the Church and Throne must keep themselves informed as to who are their friends and who their enemies." "For the last five days I have been trying to find the right thing to say to his Excellency's wife," said Saillard.
No one at the ministry had the slightest doubt that Saillard was a blockhead, but neither had any one ever found out how far his stupidity could go; it was too compact to be examined; it did not ring hollow; it absorbed everything and gave nothing out. A little less luck, and he might have been lackey to the bank of France; a little more ambition, and he could have been honorably discharged."
Saillard, terrified, rushed up to Baudoyer's office, where he found Dutocq, Godard, and Bixiou in a state of exasperation difficult to describe; for they were reading the terrible paper on the administration in which they were all discussed. "Saillard. The office of cashier to be suppressed in all the ministries; their accounts to be kept in future at the Treasury.
For years Elisabeth, the daughter, went to market every morning with her mother, and the two did all the work of the house. The mother cooked well, especially a duck with turnips; but, according to Saillard, no one could equal Elisabeth in hashing the remains of a leg of mutton with onions. "You might eat your boots with those onions and not know it," he remarked.
It was some weeks since the first untimely visitation of Jacques Saillard, but there had been many others at all hours of the day, while Raffles had been induced to pay at least one to her studio in the neighboring square. These intrusions he had endured at first with an air of humorous resignation which imposed upon me less than he imagined.
"Well, Saillard, you look as if you had lost all your friends! Do speak; do, pray, tell us something," cried his wife when he came back into the room. Saillard, after making a little sign to his daughter, turned on his heel to keep himself from talking politics before strangers.
"We held him fainting in our arms. Vimeux. "The minister refused to transact business with Rabourdin to-day; and Monsieur Saillard, to whom the secretary said a few words, came to tell Monsieur Baudoyer to apply for the cross of the Legion of honor, there is one to be granted, you know, on New-Year's day, to all the heads of divisions. It is quite clear what it all means.
Monsieur Cardot, the notary, is my executor." Mademoiselle Thuillier now instigated her brother to renew his former relations with the Saillards, Baudoyers, and others, who held a position similar to that of the Thuilliers in the quartier Saint-Antoine, of which Monsieur Saillard was mayor.
