This admirer of Anarchasis Clootz and dilletanti of Anarchism had lately possessed one supreme desire, the desire to have for niece the Princess Selm. "I thought you didn't believe in all that," said the girl. "All what?" "I believe in seeing you happy and well-placed. I was not thinking of myself well, there, it's done. There is no use in talking any more, for I know your disposition.
Beside the people interested in her there were several friends and relations of Prince Selm, also his lawyer. "I have taken rooms at the Hotel Noailles," said Madame de Brie, "and I have brought you some clothes. Oh, my poor child, what you must have suffered. But why did the people on board not lend you some better things?"
Cards, women and wine, pleasure and the glittering things of life, all these betray one, but the sea, though she may kill, never leaves a man broken, never destroys his soul. But Eugene Henry William of Selm for all this sea passion might have remained a landsman, for the simple reason that he was one of those thorough souls for whom Life and an Object are synonymous terms.
