Then across the twilight stage, which was no longer lit up by the footlights, there followed a disorderly retreat. Actors and supers and chorus made haste to get back to their dressing rooms while the sceneshifters rapidly changed the scenery. Simonne and Clarisse, however, had remained "at the top," talking together in whispers.
Madame de Fongereues was also well aware of the tender reverence in which Simonne was held by the Marquis, and was convinced that the peasant's son was not forgotten. Where was Simon? Were he to appear it would be ruin for the Vicomte.
The others, such as Blanche, Caroline, Simonne and Maria, were all talking at once and telling each other about their private affairs about a dispute with a coachman, a projected picnic and innumerable complex stories of lovers stolen or restored.
Simonne Evrard was being loudly blamed for having admitted the girl into citizen Marat's room. But the wench had looked so simple, so innocent, and she said she was the bearer of a message from Caen. She had called twice during the day, and in the evening the citizen himself said that he would see her. Simonne had been for sending her away. But the citizen was peremptory.
And at this Simonne told them how Nana had recognized in Satin an old schoolmate, had taken a vast fancy to her and was now plaguing Bordenave to let her make a first appearance on the stage. "How d'ye do?" said Fontan, shaking hands with Mignon and Fauchery, who now came into the room. Old Bosc himself gave them the tips of his fingers while the two women kissed Mignon.
It was a young Austrian couple, and Gaga told how during her agony the neighbors had played a game of catch as catch can and how, as only an unused door divided the two rooms, they had heard them laughing and kissing when one or the other was caught. "Come, it's time we were off," said Clarisse. "We shan't bring her to life again. Are you coming, Simonne?"
"Has he arrived?" asked Prulliere, entering the room in his Alpine admiral's costume, which was set off by a big sword, enormous top boots and a vast tuft of plumes. "Who d'you mean?" said Simonne, taking no notice of him and laughing into the mirror in order to see how her lips looked. "The prince." "I don't know; I've just come down. Oh, he's certainly due here tonight; he comes every time!"
We can only find certain tones to remind us of their perfection." With feverish hands and sparkling eyes she stopped working when Felicien related to her the history of the most noted men and women who were embroiderers in the olden time Simonne de Gaules, Colin Jolye, and others whose names have come down to us through the ages.
He only laughed at me and told me that his love for me had died long ago; he now was lavishing its treasures upon the faithful friend and companion that awful woman, Simonne Evrard who had stood by him in the darkest hours of his misfortunes. Then it was that I decided to adopt different tactics.
Simonne listened with the greatest interest to this fresh piece of information. As to Clarisse, she had been raging for a week past. Just fancy, that beast La Faloise, whom she had succeeded in chucking into Gaga's venerable embrace, was coming into the fortune of a very rich uncle! It was just her luck; she had always been destined to make things cozy for other people.
