Better, far better, her barren, dusty, lonely life than such humiliation; such apostasy. She faced it all often, the future, the panic, during the last days of preparation for the tableaux, days during which, with a still magnanimity, she fulfilled the tasks that she had undertaken.
She forgot it, however, in the tableaux vivants which they were preparing for the evening, in which she and Charles illustrated the syllable nun to enthusiastic applause.
Who could tell, therefore, that Pentuer's discourse was not intended for him, as that procession of Apis for the people? For that matter, it was easy to put on the ground beans of red or other colors, and also it was not difficult to arrange tableaux.
He promised engagements, breakfasted at the cafe, wrote letters there, greeted those who entered with the tips of his fingers, held very animated conversations in corners; and already two threadbare authors had read to him a drama in seven tableaux, which was "exactly what he wanted" for his opening piece.
Prince Metternich asked, "What shall we do indoors this awful day?" I proposed tableaux; but he objected to tableaux. Then I suggested that one might have a fancy-dress tea-party. At last, after many wild propositions, he said, "Why not charades?" Of course he had intended charades all the time. He asked the Marquis de Gallifet if he would help us.
