Yesterday she was driving in her pony-carriage. To-day she distinguished herself by her skill at pigeon-shooting. To-morrow she will display herself half nude in some tableaux vivants. On the day after to-morrow she will inaugurate a new style of hair-dressing, and take part in a comedy. It is always the Baroness Trigault who is the observed of all observers at Vincennes.
On the fifth of November, the Countess de Commarin will give a superb fete; all Paris will be there. On the seventh, there will be a ball at the house of the Viscountess de Bois d'Ardon. On the eleventh, there will be a concert, followed by a ball, at the superb mansion of the Baroness Trigault you know the wife of that strange man who spends all his time in playing cards."
"The marquis is very busy this morning," said the servant to whom Pascal addressed himself at the gate. "I doubt if he can see you." But when Pascal handed him one of his visiting cards, bearing the name of Maumejan, with this addition in pencil: "Who calls as the representative of Baron Trigault," the valet's face changed as if by enchantment. "Oh!" said he, "that's quite a different matter.
Fathers Mendoza, Ricci, Trigault, Visdelou, Lecomte, Verbiest, Navarrete, Schall, and Martini, deserve especial mention for having carried to China the arts and sciences of Europe, while they diffused in the west the first accurate and precise information upon the unprogressive civilization of the Flowery Land.
It was evident enough that M. de Coralth had to exercise considerable constraint to listen to these fine projects. "I must warn you that you ought to speak in other terms of an honorable and honored gentleman," he interrupted, at last. "Eh! what! You know him then?" "Yes, Madame d'Argeles's defender is Baron Trigault." M. Wilkie's heart bounded with joy, as he heard this name.
"In that case, you ought to have gone to his house. Perhaps he is there," remarked Madame d'Argeles. "Madame knows that the baron is never at home. I did go there, however, but in vain." This chanced to be one of three consecutive days which Baron Trigault had spent with Kami-Bey, the Turkish ambassador.
"And I!" he exclaimed, "I will tell people that Baron Trigault, after losing all his money at play, repays his creditors with curses." The noise of an overturned chair told Pascal that the baron had sprung up in a furious passion "You may say what you like, you rascally fool! but not in my house," he shouted. "Leave leave, or I will ring " "Monsieur "
"Allow me to say," he exclaimed, "that I am not any one's subordinate. Trigault is my client, like thirty or forty others nothing more. He employs me in certain difficult and delicate negotiations, which I conduct to the best of my ability. He pays me, and we are each of us perfectly independent of the other."
These twenty-four thousand francs won't take the place of the hundred thousand which Baron Trigault promised me." And, as Pascal made no reply, the marquis began a desultory tramp up and down the smoking-room. He was very pale, his brows were knit; he looked like a man who was meditating a decisive step, and who was calculating the consequences.
Living in the same society with the Baroness Trigault, and knowing her story, he thought that Coralth's name might, perhaps, have irritated the baron. "And so," he quickly continued, "don't be surprised if, during the coming week, you see the sale of my horses announced." "What! you are going to sell " "All my horses yes, baron.
