I wonder whether the Priest and the Levite were smitten with remorse after they had passed on. Unfortunately, in this instance, no good Samaritan followed. The bottom of our long table d'hôte was held by a Frenchman, a Normand, a giant, but a pallid and rather flabby giant, whose name, if he had another than Monsieur, I never heard.
Normand executed decorative frescoes in the Royal Exchange, London, the subject being "Sir Richard Whittington and His Charities."
Madame de Pompadour had been very judiciously advised to get her husband, M. le Normand, sent to Constantinople, as Ambassador. This would have a little diminished the scandal caused by seeing Madame de Pompadour, with the title of Marquise, at Court, and her husband Farmer General at Paris. But he was so attached to a Paris life, and to his opera habits, that he could not be prevailed upon to go.
"She is equal to Madame Le Normand!" said Major Favraud, aside, nodding approvingly at me. "If one waits long enough, most prophecies may be fulfilled," I ventured; "but, madame, your words point to results too terrible too unnatural, it seems to me, ever to be realized in these enlightened times or in this land of moderation." "Child," she responded, "blood asserts itself to the end of races.
"And I shall say then as I say now. I will make any bargain with you, so long as it is a bargain which benefits us both." "Ah, you are a Normand, you hedge!" she laughed, but he was serious. They walked all around the laiterie, and all the time she was gay and whimsical, and to herself she was saying, "I am unutterably happy, but we must not talk of love."
