The insignia are a wide red ribbon from which is suspended a five-pointed cross. 81 7 font bâtonner: cf. note to 7 25. 81 8 cadis: 'cadis, judges under Mohammedan law. 81 9 tartufes du Coran et de la loi: 'hypocritical respecters of Religion and Law. Tartufe is the hypocrite in Moliere's play of that name, the word is now used as a common noun to designate a person who pretends to be devout.
In 17 20-21 we are given to understand that Tartarin's baobab, the most admired of his botanical rarities, is perhaps after all nothing but a turnip, and we are led to suspect that some of the others are not what they pretend to be.
The home of the cap-hunters was really not Tarascon, but a village five or six leagues away on the other side of the Rhône. It was from this village, and in company with the prototype of Tartarin, that Daudet set out for Africa in 1861, chiefly to recover his health and incidentally to hunt lions.
When the young princess had become the sister-in-law of the King and the idol of the young Court, she remained steadfast in her love for the friend who had cheered her lonely convent life; and thus Mme. de La Fayette came at the age of thirty to be one of the company that gathered around Madame at Fontainebleau and Saint-Cloud, "spectatrice plutôt qu'agissante," says Sainte-Beuve.
No measures, however, have yet been taken in consequence of this Petition, nor do I think it probable that the subjects of it will be bastily decided upon by the King's servants.
If the rich Carrack, that creeps o'er the tide, Pisombo, Pisombo! were offered to me My own loved bark, would I take her for thee?
Perhaps she did; for resentment at the fate of her friend and mistress was natural. True it is, however, that Louis showed more than once his deep respect for the woman who had seen him in his one moment of remorse at the bedside of the dying princess.
It was in the arms of Mme. de La Fayette that Madame, her brief day of splendor over, fell into that strange slumber the wakening of which was to be so horrible; and it was Mme. de La Fayette who soothed the princess in those last hours, the torture of which drew tears even from the heart of Louis. M. Anatole France says that he suspects Mme. de La Fayette of having hated the King.
Paris, the war, his intercourse with Flaubert and Goncourt and Zola, were the influences, then, that transformed Daudet, most easily susceptible to impressions from without. The Daudet of the great novels is not the real Daudet, however; the real Daudet is the author of "Les Amoureuses," of the "Lettres de mon moulin," and of "Tartarin de Tarascon."
Après un accord de l'orgue, s'est alors élevé en un gigantesque unisson le premier psaume chanté par ce chœur inouï: All people that on earth do dwell Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
