"At any rate, take Garangeot as a stop-gap!" pleaded Heloise. "He has the whole press on his side " Just at that moment the cashier came in with a note for a thousand francs in his hand. "Give it to madame here," said Gaudissart. "Good-day, my good woman; take good care of the dear man, and tell him that I am coming to see him to-morrow, or sometime as soon as I can, in short."
If you leave the theatre, you can repay me the money. Now for your budget. What are your yearly expenses? How much do you want to be comfortable? Come, now, scheme out a life for a Sardanapalus " "I only need two suits of clothes, von for der vinter, von for der sommer." "Three hundred francs," said Gaudissart. "Shoes. Vour bairs." "Sixty francs." "Shtockings " "A dozen pairs thirty-six francs."
"I have found ten thousand bottles like that, all made ready to hand, at four sous, and six months' credit." Macassar trembles to its foundations! Was I not right to seize upon the only nuts in Paris? Where did you find these bottles?" "I was waiting to speak to Gaudissart, and sauntering " "Just like me, when I found the Arab book," cried Birotteau.
"Very well, fair lady," said Gaudissart. "Be so good as to have the documents drawn up, and at four o'clock I will bring this German to you. Please remember me to your charming daughter the Vicomtesse, and ask her to tell my illustrious friend the great statesman, her good and excellent father-in-law, how deeply I am devoted to him and his, and ask him to continue his valued favors.
"I am fond of them," said the fool, who thought he said "ices." "Good!" returned Gaudissart.
Have you been arguing with him?" added the pitiless landlord; "that must have been funny!" "Funny!" cried Gaudissart. "Funny! Then your Monsieur Vernier has been making fun of me!" "Did he send you there?" "Yes." "Wife! wife! come here and listen. If Monsieur Vernier didn't take it into his head to send this gentleman to talk to Margaritis!"
You are here at the very head of Vouvray," he continued, with a gesture of the hand, "the vineyard of Margaritis." The maid-servant brought glasses and a bottle of wine of the vintage of 1819. The good-man filled a glass with circumspection and offered it to Gaudissart, who drank it up. "Ah, you are joking, Monsieur!" exclaimed the commercial traveller. "Surely this is Madeira, true Madeira?"
"I want to send a summons to my good friend Margaritis to deliver the two casks of wine." "But he has not got them," said Vernier. "No matter for that; the affair can be arranged by the payment of an indemnity. I won't have it said that Vouvray outwitted the illustrious Gaudissart."
A Gaudissart accordingly appeared with three bracelets of marvelous workmanship. The great ladies hesitated. Choice is a mental lightning flash; hesitate there is no more to be said, you are at fault. Inspiration in matters of taste will not come twice. At last, after about ten minutes the Prince was called in.
"Can't I? Then tell me, tell me, Gaudissart, if I'm such a goose why do you love me?" "Just because you are a goose, a sublime goose! Listen, Jenny. See here, I am going to undertake the 'Globe, the 'Movement, the 'Children, the insurance business, and some of my old articles Paris; instead of earning a miserable eight thousand a year, I'll bring back twenty thousand at least from each trip."
