The King of the Belgians has a rather handsome and grave face, and a delicate and agreeable smile; he was seated to the left of the princesses. The Duke de Brogue sat on his left. Next to the Duke were Count Mole and M. Dupin senior. M. de Salvandy, seeing an empty chair to the right of the King, seated himself upon it. All five wore the red sash, including M. Dupin.
At the salon of the Marquis de Barthelemy he met the Duc de Levis, the Duc des Cars, MM. Berryer, de Salvandy, de Vatismenil, Hyde de Neuville, and other distinguished noblemen and gentlemen. Monsigneur Sibour, Archbishop of Paris, was desirous of seeing and hearing this remarkable poet of the South.
How may their destinies, lately so brilliant, be overclouded by the change that menaces to take place! Well may Monsieur Salvandy have observed at the ball so recently given by the Duc of Orléans to the royal families of France and Naples, "This may be termed a Neapolitan fête, for they are dancing over a volcano." All now seems quiet, so I will go to bed.
"Well, Lucette, dear child," said her father, "won't you recite one of Lafontaine's fables before you go to bed?" "Here," observed M. de Salvandy, "is a little person who to-day recites fables and who one of these days will inspire romances." Lucette did not understand. She merely gazed with her big wondering eyes at Salvandy who was lolling in his chair with an air of benevolent condescension.
Couriers flew from Paris to Venice, from Venice to Claremont, from Claremont to Paris. The Duke of Chambord issues a manifesto in which he announces not his own, but the "national" restoration, "with the aid of all the members of his family." The Oleanist Salvandy throws himself at the feet of Henry V. The Legitimist leaders Berryer, Benoit d'Azy, St.
The language has been moving since the first day of its formation; can it be said to be deteriorating? Movement is life; decadence is death. M. COUSIN. The decadence of the French language began in 1789. MYSELF. At what hour, if you please? October 8, 1844. This is what was told to me at to-day's session: Salvandy recently dined with Villemain.
"Le travail et la Science sont desormais les maitres du monde." De Salvandy. "Deduct all that men of the humbler classes have done for England in the way of inventions only, and see where she would have been but for them." Arthur Helps.
"Well, Lucette." he went on, "will you not recite a fable for us?" The child required no urging, and began in her naive little voice, her fine, frank, sweet eyes still fixed upon Salvandy: One easily believes one's self to be somebody in France.
The poet, though delighted by these ovations, declared that it was he who was indebted to the members of the Academy, not they to him. M. de Salvandy reassured him: "Do not trouble yourself, Jasmin; you have accomplished everything we could have wished; you have given us ten for one, and still we are your debtors."
After them came names half literary, half political, such as MM. Cousin, Salvandy, Yillemain, Thiers, Augustin Thierry, Michelet, Mignet, Vitet, Cavé, Mérimée, and Guizot. Others, who were not yet known, but were coming forward, were Balzac, Soulié, De Musset, Sainte-Beuve, Auguste Barbier, Alphonse Karr, Théophile Gautier. Madame Sand was not known until her "Indiana," in 1828.
