This body which is there before me yours, doctor prevents me from knowing your real self, and is, so to speak, only a garment, or rather a mask." Vaucorbeil believed he was mad. "Good evening. Take care of your mask." Pécuchet did not stop. He procured an introduction to the Hegelian philosophy, and wished to explain it to Bouvard. "All that is rational is real.
Beljambe knew nothing about the occurrences, and, furthermore, he laughed at them. In the market-place they stopped Vaucorbeil. The physician had got over all that. "You are very foolish to bother yourselves." Foureau passed them by, remarking with a sly air, "The democrats are swamped." And the captain, with Girbal's arm in his, exclaimed from a distance, "Long live the Emperor!"
"Well, for her sake, or rather for that of the persons that surround her, I prohibit them in my house, for the people, my dear sir " "What have the people done?" said Vaucorbeil, appearing suddenly at the door. Pécuchet, who had recognised his voice, came to mingle with the company. "I maintain," returned the count, "that it is necessary to prevent them from reading certain books."
M. Vaucorbeil, the successor of Halanzier, visited Verdi at his home and succeeded in persuading him not only to give the performing rights to the national institution, but also to assist in its production. Maurel was the Amonasro of the occasion.
We suppose, in place of the sun, a great luminous source of heat which has now disappeared, and of which the Aurora Borealis is but perhaps a vestige." Then a doubt came to them as to what proceeds from man, and, in their perplexity, they thought of Vaucorbeil. He had not followed up his threats.
And the doctor declared himself in favour of progress: "For, indeed, gentlemen, we have need of reforms." "Possibly," said Foureau; "but all these ideas are injurious to business." "I laugh at business!" cried Pécuchet. Vaucorbeil went on: "At least let us make allowance for abilities." Bouvard would not go so far. "That is your opinion," replied the doctor; "there's an end of you, then!
Bouvard and Pécuchet were delighted; and at their request M. Vaucorbeil lent them several volumes out of his library, declaring at the same time that they would not reach the end of them. They took note of the cases of childbirth, longevity, obesity, and extraordinary constipation given in the Dictionary of Medical Sciences.
Often at that moment M. Vaucorbeil, having finished his morning rounds, would open the door. "Well, comrades, how goes anatomy?" "Splendidly," they would answer. Then he would put questions to them, for the pleasure of confusing them.
They tried to elucidate it by means of the atomic theory, which fairly swamped them. In Bouvard's opinion instruments would have been necessary to understand all this. The expense was very great, and they had incurred too much already. But, no doubt, Dr. Vaucorbeil could enlighten them. They presented themselves during his consultation hours. "I hear you, gentlemen. What is your ailment?"
Gorju, Vaucorbeil, and Petit kept working for the overthrow of the mayor; and, the ground being thus cleared, Bouvard and Pécuchet, without any doubt, were likely to succeed. They drew lots to know which would present himself. The drawing decided nothing, and they went to consult the doctor on the subject. He had news for them: Flacardoux, editor of Le Calvados, had announced his candidature.
