My uncle left me ten leagues square of entailed estate; that is how I still have that house and home. I have a hundred negroes nothing but negroes and negresses and negro brats, all bought by my uncle " "Nephew to a nigger-driver," said Carabine, with a grimace. "That needs some consideration. Cydalise, child, are you fond of the blacks?" "Pooh! Carabine, no nonsense," said the old woman.
But the voice of his aunt was very sweet and tender, and had a tone that recalled the father who was gone. With this kind aunt he left Rouen in the lumbering old vehicle that plied daily betwixt that city and Vevinord. "Thou canst call me Cydalise for a while, my little one," she said to him; for she did not wish the child to proclaim the relationship between them yet awhile.
It was she and her daughter Cydalise who had helped to persuade Gustave that he was born to distinguish himself in the law. They wanted him to study in Paris the young man himself had a wild desire to enjoy the delights of that wondrous capital and to return in a few years to set up for himself as avocat at the town of Vevinord, some half-dozen leagues from the patrimonial estate.
She hastily pulled the door open for the servants of these dens have little time to waste and discovered one of the bewitching tableaux de genre which Gavarni has so often shown at the Salon.

Already she was beginning to think how the orphan was to be cared for and the widow also, for whose return she looked daily. For the return of Susan Lenoble Cydalise waited at Rouen several days after the funeral. She had, happily, an old school-fellow comfortably established in the city; and in the house of this old friend she found a home.
Poor invalid Clarice had been quite unable to superintend her household; and since her death Mademoiselle Cydalise had been too feeble of health to assume any authority in her nephew's establishment, even if the household of Cotenoir would have submitted to interference from Beaubocage, which in all likelihood they would not.
By nine o'clock they were talking as people talk after forty-two bottles of various wines, drunk by fourteen persons. Dessert was on the table, the odious dessert of the month of April. Of all the party, the only one affected by the heady atmosphere was Cydalise, who was humming a tune.

"They tell us that whales are of a sagacious and amiable temper, and Cydalise was always talking of Madelon's good sense and amiablity. I am sure it is quite as easy to believe in the unparalleled virtues of the whale as in the unparalleled virtues of Madelon Frehlter." His valise was packed, and he departed for Beaubocage, after a sad and tender parting from his wife.
