The provincial took care not to say that Grindot, the architect, had bestowed his best capacity upon it, as did Stidmann on the carvings, and Leon de Lora on the paintings, for Fabien's crowning defect was the vanity which condescends to lie for the sake of magnifying the individual self.
"He was not dressed to go to his work!" Stidmann hurried off to Madame Marneffe's, struck by the truth of this conclusion, due to the second-sight of passion. At that moment Valerie was posed as Delilah. Stidmann, too sharp to ask for Madame Marneffe, walked straight in past the lodge, and ran quickly up to the second floor, arguing thus: "If I ask for Madame Marneffe, she will be out.
"It is settled," said Wenceslas, when he came in from taking leave of Stidmann. "But there are six months' work to be done, and we must live meanwhile." "There are my diamonds," cried the young Countess, with the impetuous heroism of a loving woman. A tear rose in Wenceslas' eye. "Oh, I am going to work," said he, sitting down by his wife and drawing her on to his knee.
It is Delilah passion that ruins everything. How far more beautiful is that replica That is what you call it, I think " She skilfully interpolated, as Claude Vignon and Stidmann came up to them on hearing her talk of sculpture "how far more beautiful than the Greek myth is that replica of Hercules at Omphale's feet. Did Greece copy Judaea, or did Judaea borrow the symbolism from Greece?"
The group was admired by a Prince, to whom the model sketch for the clock was also shown, and who ordered it; but that again was to be unique, and he offered thirty thousand francs for it. Artists who were consulted, and among them Stidmann, were of opinion that the man who had sketched those two models was capable of achieving a statue.
"Well, then, you promise me?" she said to Steinbock, taking his hand with the timidity of a girl in love. "You are indeed a happy man, my dear fellow," cried Stidmann, "if madame asks a favor of you!" "What is it?" asked Claude Vignon. "A small bronze group," replied Steinbock, "Delilah cutting off Samson's hair." "It is difficult," remarked Vignon. "A bed "
Stidmann had lately broken off an intimacy with Madame Schontz, who had married some months since and gone to live in the country. Valerie and Lisbeth, hearing of this upheaval from Claude Vignon, thought it well to get Steinbock's friend to visit in the Rue Vanneau.
He very soon learned to model ornament, and invented novelties; he had a gift for it. Five months after he was out of his apprenticeship as a finisher, he made acquaintance with Stidmann, the famous head of Florent's studios. Within twenty months Wenceslas was ahead of his master; but in thirty months the old maid's savings of sixteen years had melted entirely.
"And what did Wenceslas think of her?" asked poor Hortense, trying to keep calm. "He said nothing about her to me." "I will only say one thing," said Stidmann, "and that is, that I think her a very dangerous woman." Hortense turned as pale as a woman after childbirth. "So it was at at Madame Marneffe's that you dined and not not with Chanor?" said she, "yesterday and Wenceslas and he "
There were lace curtains, cashmere hangings, brocade portieres, a set of chimney ornaments modeled by Stidmann, a glass cabinet filled with dainty nicknacks. Hulot could not bear to see his Valerie in a bower of inferior magnificence to the dunghill of gold and pearls owned by a Josepha. The drawing-room was furnished with red damask, and the dining-room had carved oak panels.
