"I need not bid you, young folks, to make friends with each other. A Vandemar and a Rochebriant are not made friends, they are born friends." So saying he turned to his other guests. Almost in an instant Alain felt his constraint melt away in the cordial warmth with which his cousins greeted him.
Rank and fashion were not unworthily represented by Alain de Rochebriant and Enguerrand de Vandemar, by whose supremacy as "lion" Frederic still felt rather humbled, though Alain had contrived to bring them familiarly together.
A change had come over the face of the young Vandemar since his brother's death. The lines about the mouth had deepened, the cheeks had lost their rounded contour and grown somewhat hollow. But the expression was as serene as ever, perhaps even less pensively melancholy.
Whatever answer Graham might have made to these impassioned reproaches was here checked. Two men on horseback stopped the carriage. One was Enguerrand de Vandemar, the other was the Algerine Colonel whom we met at the supper given at the Maison Doree by Frederic Lemercier.
With the Count de Vandemar, one of his fellow-nobles of the sacred Faubourg, he should be no less Rochebriant, whether in a garret or a palace.
Perhaps the man admires his own genius too much to do proper homage to his wife's." "But the choice of Mademoiselle Cicogna need not be restricted to the pale of authorship doubtless she has many admirers beyond that quarrelsome borderland." "Certainly-countless adorers. Enguerrand de Vandemar you know that diamond of dandies?" "Perfectly is he an admirer?"
This little incident, and the slighting kind of notice received from coevals of his own birth, and doubtless his own blood, for he divined truly that they were the sons of the Count de Vandemar, disconcerted Alain to a degree which perhaps a Frenchman alone can comprehend. He had even half a mind to give up his visit and turn back.
When settled in some modest apartment, I shall place in your hands my pieces justificatives. I shall ask you to summon my surviving relations or connections, among which are the Counts de Vandemar, Beauvilliers, De Passy, and the Marquis de Rochebriant, with any friends of your own who sway the opinions of the Great World.

"My cousin," said Enguerrand, gaily, as he exchanged a cordial shake of the hand with Victor, "I congratulate you on the fame of journalist, into which you have vaulted, armed cap-a pie, like a knight of old into his saddle; but I don't sympathise with the means you have taken to arrive at that renown. I am not myself an Imperialist a Vandemar can be scarcely that.
