"With care and judgment, and the support of some pious and charitable persons, you may have a salon and conquer a position. Paris is not Sancerre." Dinah left it to Monsieur de Clagny to negotiate a reconciliation with the old man.
Having mixed himself up in certain important matters in Spain with generals at that time in opposition, he had made the most of these connections to the Minister, who, in consideration of the place he had lost, promised him the Receivership at Sancerre, and then allowed him to pay for the appointment.
"'While Etouteville was speaking to me, said Sancerre, 'I believed all he said, because I found so much probability in it, and because the time when he told me his passion for Madam de Tournon commenced, is precisely the same with that when she appeared changed towards me; but the next morning I thought him a liar, or at least an enthusiast, and was upon the point of telling him so.
And thus was the whole programme played out of a provincial amour, so satirically described by Lousteau to Madame de la Baudraye a fact which neither he nor she remembered. Passion is born a deaf-mute. This winter in Paris was to Madame de la Baudraye all that the month of October had been at Sancerre.
I foresee many happy days in store for us, Edmond." "Like the one at Sancerre, for instance!" "Ah," he replied brightly, "that is a day to be marked in red. But there will be others; and, Edmond, do not waste too much time between Le Blanc and La Rochelle." "Unless I am laid by the heels," I answered laughing, "I shall be at Rochelle shortly after you!" A Traitor to the King
After his marriage he adopted blue trousers and boots with heels, which made Sancerre declare that he had added two inches to his stature that he might come up to his wife's chin.
But her husband's great fortune, great name, and high position, but for the admirable management of that true statesman whose conduct to his wife, they say, was perfect she would have been ruined; in her position no other woman would have remained respected as she is." "And how was Sancerre when you came away?" asked Madame de la Baudraye, to change the subject.
The Abbe Duret, Cure of Sancerre, an old man of a lost type of clergy in France, a man of the world with a liking for cards, had not dared to indulge this taste in so liberal a district as Sancerre; he, therefore, was delighted at Madame de la Baudraye's coming, and they got on together to admiration.
It would have been too rash for Dinah to seem cold or severe to Lousteau in Gatien's presence; and Etienne, taking advantage of this, offered his arm to the supposed Lucretia; however, she declined it. "Do you mean to cast off a man who has vowed to live for you?" said he, walking close beside her. "I shall stop at Sancerre and go home to-morrow."
When, one spring morning in 1825, pretty Madame de la Baudraye was first seen walking on the Mall in a blue velvet dress, with her mother in black velvet, there was quite an excitement in Sancerre. This dress confirmed the young woman's reputation for superiority, brought up, as she had been, in the capital of Le Berry.
