By one of those inexplicable fatalities, Auguste now uttered a harmless jest which Madame de Serizy took amiss, and her brother resented it. The discussion took place in the corner of a room, in a low voice. In good society, adversaries never raise their voices. The next day the faubourg Saint-Germain and the Chateau talked over the affair.
'Serizy and I, after being the witnesses to your marriage, became your accomplices; I did not think I was committing an indiscretion in the presence of these two venerable priests. "M. de Serizy changed the subject by relating all he had done to please his wife without ever succeeding.
At the affair of the Makta, where the field had to be abandoned to the Arabs, Monsieur de Serizy was left wounded under a dead horse. Oscar, discovering this, called out to the squadron: "Messieurs, it is going to death, but we cannot abandon our colonel." He dashed upon the enemy, and his electrified soldiers followed him.
Then I shall break the little pill against the roof of my mouth, and shall not be disfigured by any convulsion or by a ridiculous position. "Madame de Serizy has quarreled with you, I know, because of me; but when she hears that I am dead, you see, dear pet, she will forgive. Make it up with her, and she will find you a suitable wife if the Grandlieus persist in their refusal.
"If you could persuade the Lord Keeper to send for my husband this minute, by special messenger, to meet him at the Palais, the Minister would hear some strange mysteries, and report them, no doubt, to the King.... Then Camusot's enemies would be reduced to silence." "But who are Camusot's enemies?" asked Madame d'Espard. "The public prosecutor, and now Monsieur de Serizy."
It was the Comtesse de Serizy who spoke as she opened the door. "I came here to breathe," said the Duchess; "it is unbearably hot in the rooms." "People thought that you had gone; but my brother Ronquerolles told me that your servants were waiting for you." "I am tired out, dear, let me stay and rest here for a minute," and the Duchess sat down on the sofa. "Why, what is the matter with you?
"And is it a misfortune, after all?" his friend went on. "You will easily find a girl as well born and better looking than Clotilde! Madame de Serizy will find you a wife out of spite; she cannot endure the Grandlieus, who never would have anything to say to her. She has a niece, little Clemence du Rouvre "
Schinner backs me; and he has got me some work at the Chateau de Presles, where I am going in October to do some arabesques, panels, and other decorations, for which the Comte de Serizy, no doubt, will pay well. With such trifles and with orders from the dealers, I may manage to earn eighteen hundred to two thousand francs a year over and above the working expenses.
MM. de Grandville and de Serizy had trusted to the Count to make the preliminary examination of the papers relating to the matter. To avoid the necessity for carrying all the papers to M. de Serizy, as president of the commission, it was decided that they should meet first in the Rue Payenne.
I shall buy an estate I have my eye on Presles, which Madame de Serizy wants to sell. I shall be Crevel de Presles, member of the Common Council of Seine-et-Oise, and Deputy. I shall have a son! I shall be everything I have ever wished to be. 'Heh! said I, 'and what about your daughter? 'Bah! says he, 'she is only a woman! And she is quite too much of a Hulot. Valerie has a horror of them all.
