She went off on Marescot's arm. The count distributed his pamphlets, requesting them to hand them round to other people. Vaucorbeil was leaving, when Pécuchet stopped him. "You are forgetting me, doctor." His yellow physiognomy was pitiable, with his moustaches and his black hair, which was hanging down under a silk handkerchief badly fastened. "Purge yourself," said the doctor.
Vaucorbeil observed: "Then you are not in favour of education?" "Yes, certainly. Allow me " "When every day," said Marescot, "an attack is made on the government." "Where's the harm?" And the nobleman and the physician proceeded to disparage Louis Philippe, recalling the Pritchard case, and the September laws against the liberty of the press: "And that of the stage," added Pécuchet.
Without replying, Vaucorbeil stooped towards Gouy, and raising his voice: "Which of us two do you select as your doctor?" The patient, who was falling asleep, perceived angry faces, and began to blubber. His wife did not know either what answer to make, for the one was clever, but the other had perhaps a secret.
Vaucorbeil ordered orange-syrup with the iodine, and for a later stage cinnabar baths. "What's the use?" replied Pécuchet. "One day or another the form will die out. The essence does not perish." "No doubt," said the physician, "matter is indestructible. However " "Ah, no! ah, no! The indestructible thing is being.
Typhoid fever broke out in the neighbourhood. Bouvard declared that he would not have anything to do with it. But the wife of Gouy, their farmer, came groaning to them. Her man was a fortnight sick, and M. Vaucorbeil was neglecting him. Pécuchet devoted himself to the case.
Pécuchet placed his right hand in Victoire's left, and, with her lids closed uninterruptedly, her cheeks a little red, her lips quivering, the somnambulist, after some rambling utterances, ordered valum becum. She had assisted in an apothecary's shop at Bayeux. Vaucorbeil drew the inference that what she wanted to say was album Græcum a term which is to be found in pharmacy.
Some time after my Henri VIII, in which Vaucorbeil had imposed another collaborator on me, Ritt asked me for a new work. We were looking about for a subject, when Gallet came to my house and timidly, as if fearing a rebuff, proposed Benvenuto Cellini.
They raved about the life-principle of Van Helmont, vitalism, Brownism, organicism, inquired of the doctor whence comes the germ of scrofula, towards what point the infectious miasma inclines, and the means in all cases of disease to distinguish the cause from its effects. "The cause and the effect are entangled in one another," replied Vaucorbeil.
"It must be a lovely study, anatomy." M. Vaucorbeil expatiated on the fascination he had formerly found in dissections; and Bouvard inquired what were the analogies between the interior of a woman and that of a man. In order to satisfy him, the doctor fetched from his library a collection of anatomical plates. "Take them with you! You can look at them more at your ease in your own house."
The doctor having received some encouragement, repaired to the house of Heurtaux, and explained to him what his chances were. The captain did not stand on ceremony about it. Vaucorbeil was known, undoubtedly, but little liked by his professional brethren, especially in the case of chemists. Everyone would bark at him; the people did not want a gentleman; his best patients would leave him.
