Now, at the time when the whole countryside Nevers and Sancerre, Le Morvan and Le Berry was priding itself on Madame de la Baudraye, and lauding her under the name of Jan Diaz, "little La Baudraye" felt her glory a mortal blow. He alone knew the secret source of Paquita la Sevillane. When this terrible work was spoken of, everybody said of Dinah "Poor woman! Poor soul!"
This strange production caused a great ferment in the departments of the Allier, the Nievre, and the Cher, proud to possess a poet capable of rivalry with the glories of Paris. Paquita la Sevillane, by Jan Diaz, was published in the Echo du Morvan, a review which for eighteen months maintained its existence in spite of provincial indifference.
Oh, I have fully recognized Monsieur de la Baudraye's similarity to a Parisian bill-discounter; their nature is identical. At eight-and-twenty, handsome, well conducted, and childless I assure you, madame, I never saw the problem of virtue more admirably expressed. The author of Paquita la Sevillane must have dreamed many dreams!

Her most ambitious compositions are "Les Amazones," a lyric symphony with choruses; a one-act ballet, "La Sevillane," still in manuscript; and the grand ballet and symphonic scena entitled "Callirrhoe," successfully given at Marseilles and Lyons, and now published in many different arrangements.

Dinah looked steadily at Monsieur de Clagny, making him feel, by an expression that gave him a chill, that in spite of the illustrious examples he had quoted, she regarded this as a reflection on Paquita la Sevillane.
And then there stood between them, under an oak, a priest whose aspect in the morning sun was so commanding that the foes at his bidding heard Mass as he performed it under the oak, and at the words of the Gospel they made friends." The oak is still shown in the forest of Faye. This poem, immeasurably superior to Paquita la Sevillane, was far less admired.
