That there was little congeniality between husband and wife cannot be doubted, yet Mme. de La Fayette's own letters go to prove that for a time at least she was not unhappy. In a letter to Ménage, written from Auvergne soon after her marriage, she says: "La solitude que je trouve ici m'est plutôt agréable qu'ennuyeuse.
I sincerely hope that the French government may find them as anxious as we have been to maintain the closest possible union between France and England; more anxious, whatever may have been said or thought to the contrary, I am quite sure they cannot be. Yours sincerely.
We cannot but regret the many visions such as Frédérique which were refused admittance to Daudet's essentially romantic mind by the uncompromising laws of a realism which he had mistakenly accepted as his guide. The composition of "Les Rois en exil" is defective, but its charm is great. In "Numa Roumestan" the technique is better.
Je devrais être cet homme, j'y suis poussé par la confiance unanime de mes collègues, but I cannot. Le caractère n'y est pas, et tous les conseils du monde ne peuvent point faire d'un roseau un chêne. Enfin, quand la question pressera les esprits, j'espère bien voir apparaître un Wilson.
But I am quite sure that M. Guizot regrets these proceedings as much as I can do; though I well know that, from the mechanism of government, a minister cannot always control departements over which he does not himself preside. We are now about to retire, and in ten days' time our successors will be in office.
You will best know the course which is likely to succeed, and I am sure that you cannot render a greater service to Spain and to the public interest. Correspondance entre M. Guizot, ministre des affaires étrangères, et M. Casimir Périer, chargé d'affaires
Do not think I think bad of her, it is merely the love of analyses that makes me look into people's nature more than it would perhaps be suitable. B... has des défauts, mais elle a aussi des qualités, unfortunately one cannot say so of many. As to the picture canaille it would not be yet bad to do it, if there were talent.
I cannot speak french sir, repondit l'homme au mouchoir de soie avec un accent guttural qui raviva tout a coup les souvenirs de Rene. Ce brave, qui ne savait pas le francais, s'etait deja occupe de lui. C'etait bien la voix de gosier qui avait donne aux Freres de la Vertu ce conseil anglais: "Assommons le maudit coquin!" Rene se laissa neanmoins mettre le bandeau.
You cannot imagine the scie that became my pastel; it is so very good every one speaks of it to my friends who come to me and say what they have heard. I am quite sorry it is not picture. Bastien says that it is art even if it were a mere fusain.
M. Lefevre saw it, and M. Tony asked me to give it for his atelier, but it is a portrait and cannot be given like that; then he said he would pose himself. Les orgues et les voix de femmes! Remember Carolus painted by Sargent. Goodness, non sum dignus!
