It is true that she sometimes asked herself what sort of world this could be, if all the men who were thought superior were like her husband. Such conduct contributed not a little to maintain the respectful esteem bestowed upon the perfumer in a community where women are much inclined to complain of their husbands and bring them into discredit.
"You do not forget me in the midst of your distinctions," he said, "there is only a hand's-breadth, however, between a chemist and a perfumer." "Ah, monsieur! between your genius and the plainness of a man like me there is infinity. I owe to you what you call my distinctions: I shall never forget it in this world, nor in the next."
It is lucky for mankind especially for naturalists and sportsmen that other species have not been improved in the same direction. It comes in disagreeable whiffs to the human nostril when the perfumer of the wilderness is not even in sight.
Alexandre Crottat, who thought the worthy perfumer a strong and able man, was alarmed at his paleness and rigidity. He was not aware that Roguin had carried off Cesar's whole property. The thought of immediate suicide passed through the brain of the victim, deeply religious as he was. In such a case suicide is only a way to escape a thousand deaths; it seems logical to take it.

Leaping into a cab, he thus escaped a perfumer and a bootmaker, and shortly found himself at the Lady Adeliza's feet. The truth had not been half told him.
"But as to throwing two hundred thousand francs into a holy-water shell, or lending them to a bigot cast off by her husband, and who knows why? there is always some reason: does any one cast me off, I ask you? is a piece of idiocy which in our days could only come into the head of a retired perfumer.
