"That is our grievance. That is what we are going to change." "You are going to abolish governing classes? An interesting experiment. I believe it was the original plan of creation, and it might have succeeded but for Cain." "What we are going to do," said M. de Vilmorin, curbing his exasperation, "is to transfer the government to other hands." "And you think that will make a difference?"
Some varieties need selection only in the beginning, in others the most perfect specimens must be chosen every year as seed-bearers. For striped flowers, it has been prescribed by Vilmorin, that seeds should be taken only from those with the smallest stripes, because there is always reversion.
"We'll drink a certain toast," he added, winking an eye that strayed towards mademoiselle, who was approaching. He had no subtleties, good soul that he was. M. de Vilmorin deplored an appointment that prevented him doing himself the honour. He was very stiff and formal. "And you, Andre?" "I? Oh, I share the appointment, godfather," he lied, "and I have a superstition against toasts."
Opposite the Breton arme the inn and posting-house at the entrance of the village of Gavrillac M. de Vilmorin interrupted his companion just as he was soaring to the dizziest heights of caustic invective, and Andre-Louis, restored thereby to actualities, observed the carriage of M. de La Tour d'Azyr standing before the door of the hostelry. "I don't believe you've been listening to me," said he.
Auban and the mincing gait of Vilmorin. I doffed my hat in a grave salutation, which was courteously returned. "I trust, Messieurs, that I have not kept you waiting?" "I was on the point of expressing that very hope, Monsieur," returned St. Auban. "We have but arrived. Do you come alone?" "As you perceive." "Hum! M. le Vicomte, then, will act for both of us."
This however, has not always been appreciated as it deserves, nor is its importance at present universally recognized. The method of selecting plants for the improvement of the race was discovered by Louis Vilmorin about the middle of the last century. Before his time selection was applied to domestic animals, but Vilmorin was the first to apply this principle to plants.
"Sooner than yield to so much they prefer to resist even the royal command." A phrase occurred to him used yesterday by Vilmorin, a phrase to which he had refused to attach importance when uttered then. He used it now. "In doing this they are striking at the very foundations of the throne.
My dear Philippe, the future is to be read with certainty only in the past. Ab actu ad posse valet consecutio. Man never changes. He is always greedy, always acquisitive, always vile. I am speaking of Man in the bulk." "Do you pretend that it is impossible to ameliorate the lot of the people?" M. de Vilmorin challenged him. "When you say the people you mean, of course, the populace.
He had no wish to remain. He was angry with Aline for her smiling reception of M. de La Tour d'Azyr and the sordid bargain he saw her set on making. He was suffering from the loss of an illusion. As they walked down the hill together, it was now M. de Vilmorin who was silent and preoccupied, Andre-Louis who was talkative. He had chosen Woman as a subject for his present discourse.
The carriage rolled away, the powdered footman in blue-and-gold very stiff behind it, M. de La Tour d'Azyr bowing to mademoiselle, who waved to him in answer. Then M. de Vilmorin put his arm through that of Andre Louis, and said to him, "Come, Andre." "But you'll stay to dine, both of you!" cried the hospitable Lord of Gavrillac.
