"It has nothing to do with the Thuilliers," interrupted the mayor. "But," he added, looking hard at Felix, "can that sly fellow have concealed the thing even from you?" "I do not think," said Phellion, "that ever, in his life, has my son concealed a thing from me." "Then you know about the sublime astronomical discovery which he communicated to the Academy of Sciences yesterday?"
These Thuilliers are not really bad at heart; they humiliated you without knowing that they did so; their world is not yours. Is that their fault? Loosen the tie between you, but do not violently break it. And, above all, reflect. Your conversion to my beliefs is of recent date. What man is certain of what his heart will say to him to-morrow?" "Madame," said la Peyrade, "I am that man.
"Ah ca!" said Minard, "then you don't know the original cause of the intimacy between Madame la Comtesse de Godollo and the Thuilliers?" "She is a tenant in their house; she occupies the entresol beneath their apartment." "True, but there's something more than that in it.
Will you do me the favor to drop the Thuilliers and all their belongings, and give me your attention?" "Say on, my friend," said Cerizet, laying down his pen, which had never ceased to run, up to this moment, "I am listening."
"Never mind," thought la Peyrade, "I am certain now she has not left Paris, and is not avoiding me. Most probably, she wants to break utterly with the Thuilliers, and so has invented this journey. Fool that I am! no doubt there's a letter waiting for me at home, explaining the whole thing."
Since their emigration to the Madeleine quarter it seems to me that not only the Sieur Colleville, but his wife and daughter, and the Thuilliers and the whole coterie have assumed an air of importance which is rather difficult to justify." "No wonder!" said Phellion; "one must have a pretty strong head to stand the fumes of opulence.
The salon was full of Barniols, Collevilles, Phellions, Laudigeois, and many others whom the announcement of a dance at the Thuilliers', spread about in the Luxembourg between two and four in the afternoon, the hour at which the bourgeoisie takes its walk, had drawn thither.
Curtains of woollen damask, with under-curtains of embroidered muslin held back by stamped brass holders, drape the windows. On the floor a cheap carpet. The handsome vestibule has wooden benches, covered with velvet, and the panelled walls with their fine carvings are mostly hidden by wardrobes, brought there from time to time from the bedrooms occupied by the Thuilliers.
The great citizen and his son Felix were at that moment engaged in a conversation which seemed to have some unusual interest for them. "My dear Felix," cried the mayor of the eleventh arrondissement, offering his hand warmly to the young professor, "it is you who bring me here this morning; I have come to offer you my congratulations." "What has occurred?" asked Phellion. "Have the Thuilliers "
I'll sound him; leave me to do the thing and, above all, don't thwart his game at the Thuilliers'." Theodose had laid a finger on a sore sport in Flavie Colleville's heart; and this requires an explanation, which may, perhaps, have the value of a synthetic glance at women's life.
