Monsieur Gaudron, that sentence is worth more than the monstrance; I don't regret the four thousand eight hundred Besides, Baudoyer, my lad, you'll pay them, won't you? Have you written it all down?" "I shall make you repeat it, father, morning and evening," said Madame Saillard. "Yes, that's a good speech. How lucky you are, Monsieur Gaudron, to know so much.
"What has happened?" Dutocq. "Do you remember what I said to you about that caricature?" Bixiou. "Yes, what then?" Dutocq. "Make it, and you shall be under-head-clerk with a famous fee. The fact is, my dear fellow, there's dissension among the powers that be. The minister is pledged to Rabourdin, but if he doesn't appoint Baudoyer he offends the priests and their party.
About ten o'clock, in the bureau Baudoyer, Bixiou was relating the last moments of the life of the director to Minard, Desroys, Monsieur Godard, whom he had called from his private office, and Dutocq, who had rushed in with private motives of his own. Colleville and Chazelle were absent.
"I am seeking to do so." "And I," cried Fouquet, "I have found it. Listen to what has occurred to me at this moment." "I am listening." Fouquet made a sign to Gourville, who appeared to understand. "One of my friends lends me sometimes the keys of a house which he rents, Rue Baudoyer, the spacious gardens of which extend behind a certain house on the Place de Greve."
Hey, how well the thing has been managed! Du Bruel, just keep your eye on the consequences. Rabourdin would be a mean-spirited creature to stay under Baudoyer; he will send in his registration, and that will give us two places. You can be head of the bureau and take me for under-head-clerk. We will make vaudevilles together, and I'll fag at your work in the office." Poor Rabourdin!
Monsieur and Madame Baudoyer, father and mother of Isidore, highly respected leather-dressers in the rue Censier, had slowly made a moderate fortune out of a small trade. After marrying their only son, on whom they settled fifty thousand francs, they determined to live in the country, and had lately removed to the neighborhood of Ile-d'Adam, where after a time they were joined by Mitral.
At 11 o'clock I returned from the barrier in the Place Baudoyer and took my usual place in the Assembly. A Representative whom I did not know, but who I have since learned was M. Belley, engineer, residing in the Rue des Tournelles, came and sat beside me and said: "Monsieur Victor Hugo, the Place Royale has been burned. They set fire to your house.
'Xavier Rabourdin, chef de bureau D'abord reva bureaux, e-u fin riche. If I were named 'Charles X., par la grace de Dieu roi de France et de Navarre, I should tremble in my shoes at the fate those letters anagrammatize." Thuillier. "Look here! are you making fun?" Bixiou. "No, I am not. Rabourdin resigns in a rage at finding Baudoyer appointed director."
"But if Baudoyer gets the place, which is worth eight thousand more, the sacrifice is not so great. If he doesn't get it! hey, papa," she added, looking at her husband, "how we shall have bled! "Well, never mind," said Saillard, enthusiastically, "we can always make it up through Falleix, who is going to extend his business and use his brother, whom he has made a stockbroker on purpose.
There's no one here but Minard who doesn't wear woollen; he's afraid of being taken for a sheep. That's the reason why he didn't put on mourning for Louis XVIII." Baudoyer. "Yes, the worthy man is dying. The two ministers are both with him. My father-in-law has been notified of the event.
