Are you unaware that De Brueys allowed his to be burned?" "They also say, general, that, being unable to bring back the army, it would have been better for your renown had you remained with it." "That is what I should have done, monsieur, if events had not recalled me to France." "What events, general?" "Your defeats." "Pardon me, general; you mean to say Scherer's defeats. "Yours as well."
A sense of importance sustained me; and I remember in that first flush of a success for which I had not waited too long what a secret satisfaction it was to pick up the Era and see my name embedded in certain dignified notices of board meetings, transactions of weight, or cases known to the initiated as significant. "Mr. Scherer's interests were taken care of by Mr. Hugh Paret."
Those concerned, therefore, in the publication of the first volume of the Journal can hardly have had much expectation of a wide success. Geneva is not a favorable starting-point for a French book, and it may well have seemed that not even the support of M. Scherer's name would be likely to carry the volume beyond a small local circle. But "wisdom is justified of her children!"
Scherer's subsidiary companies in another state, with property and assets amounting to more than twenty millions, reorganized under the laws of New Jersey, and the pending case thus transferred to the Federal court, where we won hands down! This Galligan affair was nothing to that. Nevertheless, it was annoying. As I sat in the street car on my way homeward, a man beside me was reading the Pilot.
Vague aspiration and undefined desire will have been enough to make my talents useless, and to neutralize my powers. Unproductive nature that I am, tortured by the belief that production was required of me, may not my very remorse be a mistake and a superfluity? Scherer's phrase comes back to me, "We must accept ourselves as we are."
But the following years were to see the flowing back of Catholicism into literature, the Universities, the Ecole Normale. Twenty years later I quoted this remark of Scherer's to a young French philosopher. "True, for its date," he said. But they are all Modernists!"
How the army was harassed by the plague of dysentery, how the soldiers were marching during great heat, insufficiently supplied in every way, and how they suffered from manifold hardships, has been described in von Scherer's dissertation.
"The young fellow in the grey suit? Sure. Who is he? He looks as if he was pretty well fixed." "I guess he is," replied the first. "That's Paret. He's Scherer's confidential counsel. He used to be Senator Watling's partner, but they say he's even got something on the old man."
What greater vindication for their philosophy could be desired? The very aspect of the city changed like magic. To return for a moment to the Huns. Maude had expressed a desire to see a mill, and we went, one afternoon, in Mr. Scherer's carriage to Steelville, with Mr.
Scherer's, a commission that had immediately brought about others from the Dickinsons and the Berringers.... That very day I called on him in his offices at the top of one of our new buildings, where many young draftsmen were bending over their boards. I was ushered into his private studio.
