Vincent de Paul, an excellent education proportioned to their station, and fitting them to be useful members of society. "The solemn opening of the Maison-Eugénie-Napoleon took place on the 1st of January, 1857. "M. Veron, the journaliste, now deputy of the Seine, has given, in the 'Moniteur, a very circumstantial account of this establishment. From it we borrow the following:
Do you know, mon père, that this Mademoiselle de Mérode is not at all to my taste? I would as soon marry' 'No folly, Eugène, if you please, interrupted M. de Véron. 'The affair, as I have told you, is decided.
He turned quickly, and stared with a haughty, questioning glance at the smiling confectioner. There was no grande passion in that look, Edouard felt quite satisfied, and Madame Carson's conduct seemed more than ever unintelligible. She appeared to say something, which was replied to by an impatient gesture of refusal, and M. de Véron turned again towards the altar.
There can be no question that his later novels were written with a far higher aim than the early ones, which were reeking with a refined, yet none the less loathsome sensuality. An enormous price was paid for the Wandering Jew by the editor of the Constitutionel, who was none other than his old companion of the wine-closet Dr. Veron.
At present, however, the peril from this source is so evident and so serious, that a warning reference to it could not with propriety be omitted in any description of this otherwise promising settlement. Jean Baptiste Véron, a native, it was understood, of the south of France, established himself as a merchant at Havre-de-Grâce in 1788, being then a widower with one child, a young boy.
It was on leaving her shop that he had slipped and sprained his ankle. M. de Véron fainted with the extreme pain, was carried in that state into the little parlour behind the shop, and had not yet recovered consciousness when the apothecary, whom Madame Carson had despatched her little waiting-maid-of-all-work in quest of, entered to tender his assistance.
His newly-engraved private card read thus: 'J. B. de Véron, Mon Séjour, Ingouville. Mon Séjour was a charming suburban domicile, situate upon the Côte, as it is usually termed-a sloping eminence on the north of Le Havre, which it commands, and now dotted with similar residences, but at the period we are writing of, very sparsely built upon.
It is only through lack of this consideration that a handle has been given to the sceptics, and that even in theology François Véron and some others, who exacerbated the dispute with the Protestants, even to the point of dishonesty, plunged headlong into scepticism in order to prove the necessity of accepting an infallible external judge.
'As you have now slept upon the proposal I communicated to you yesterday afternoon, said M. de Véron, addressing his son on the following morning at the conclusion of a silent breakfast 'you may perhaps be prepared with a more fitting answer than you were then?
Madame Carson contemplated the effect she had produced with a kind of pride for a few moments, and then, with a slight but peremptory wave of her hand, motioned him to follow her out of the sacred edifice. M. de Véron hastily, though with staggering steps, obeyed; Edouard le Blanc crossing the church and reaching the street just soon enough to see them both driven off in M. de Véron's carriage.
