Nights that paled to dawn with no luck to bring back to Suzette's larder. Sunny mornings after lucky nights, when Tanrade and I would thaw out over our coffee in the garden among the roses. Tanrade had arrived early, a habit with this genial gourmand when the abandoned house is giving a dinner, for he likes to supervise the final touches.
She was a very merry Alice to-night, for her long engagement at the Bouffes Parisiennes was at an end. And she had been making the best of her freedom by keeping Tanrade hard at work over the score of his new ballet.
A thousand thunders! A salad is not a salad without astragon. Come, be quick, the lantern! I know where the bed is in the garden." "Ah, monsieur Tanrade! To think I should have forgotten it!" sighed the little maid. "If monsieur will only let me hold the lantern for him!" "There, there! Never mind! See, you are forgiven. Attend to your lobster. Quick, your soup is boiling over!"
To call a halt eighteen times in the middle of the romantic duet between the unhappy innkeeper's daughter and the prince. To marry them all smoothly in B flat in the finale, and keep the brass down and the strings up in the apotheosis when the heart of the man behind the baton has been cured of all love and illusion for did he not tell me "It is well finished"? Poor Tanrade!
Alice de Bréville, Tanrade, and myself, are dining to-night in one of these intime little rooms. The third to the left down the corridor. Sapristi! what a change in Tanrade.
Upon such bountiful occasions he insists on Tanrade and myself dining with him at the presbytery as long as these luxuries last, refusing to dine with either of us until there is no more left of his own to give. The last time I saw him, I had noticed a marked change in his reverence. He was moody and unshaven, and his saucerlike hat was as dusty and spotted as his frayed soutane.
I have always believed the veal infant's hair is curled in suet. Its face grows purple after meals. A rough old place is my village of vagabonds in winter, and I am glad Alice did not come. Poor Tanrade how he would have enjoyed that northeast gale!
It was over and we telegraphed his reverence the result; from a money standpoint it was a 'succès fou." Tanrade leaned back and for a few seconds gazed at the ceiling of my den. "Where every penny has gone," he resumed, with a strained smile, "Dieu sait! There is no bell, not even the sound of one, et voil
Tanrade gripped my hand: "Shoot straight!" he counselled with a smile. Alice gave me her cheek, which I reverently kissed and murmured my apologies for my insistence in her small ear. Then I swung open the door and made for the spiral stairs. At the bottom step I stopped short.
Tanrade straightened back in his chair: "No," said he, "it is impossible; Bavière can not wait. He must have his score. The rehearsals have been delayed long enough as it is Go, mon vieux, and good luck to you!" Again the old garçon entered, this time with the timetable I had sent him for in a hurry.
