There certainly is no place where it is harder to believe that the smooth waters of the narrow, lake-like inlet, with mountains on each side which it seems as if one could put out one's hand and touch, are really part of the same sea which dashes against the rocks of Ragusa. They end in a meadow-like coast which makes one think of Bourget or Trasimenus rather than of Hadria.
Let us suppose that among 5,000,000 of them the young married women were "protected" by the surviving shudder of that ancient Puritan scare what is M. Bourget going to do about those who lived among the 20,000,000? They were clean in their morals, they were pure, yet there was no easy divorce law to protect them.
M. Bourget assures me his vetturino quoted Dante to him between Monte Pulciano and Siena; and I believe him.
M. Bourget and the others know only one plan, and when that is expurgated there is nothing left of the book. I wish I could think what he is going to teach us. Can it be Deportment? But he experimented in that at Newport and failed to give satisfaction, except to a few. Those few are pleased. They are enjoying their joy as well as they can. They confess their happiness to the interviewer.
I am not going to kill anybody. My son, thou'rt a rusty old tool. Dost know what I shall do with thee? I shall slip thee in among the wedding presents of Madame Gilbert Saville." Paul Bourget Andre Cornelis I was nine years old. It was in 1864, in the month of June at the close of a warm, bright afternoon.
"Are there many Jewish ladies who aspire to be baptized and become Catholics, as Bourget says?" asked Susanna. "Bah!" exclaimed Caesar. "You do not believe that either?" "No, it strikes me as a piece of naivety in this good soul of a novelist. To become a Catholic, I don't believe requires more than some few pesetas." "You are detestable, as a Cardinal's nephew."
Paul Bourget relates that when he told Maupassant of this epigram, he calmly replied: "Better a bull than an ox." His output as they say in publishing circles was breath-catching. It is whispered that he worked all the better after a "hard night."
I shall now remain in Aix for some time longer. I shall be glad to go on with the baths." But I was thinking really of that poor creature I had abandoned at Le Bourget, and overjoyed to think that I might now meet her wishes, and perchance regain something of her good-will.
James on M. Paul Bourget, of M. Bourget on Signor d'Annunzio; and yet there is no denying that Richardson is radically English, that Turgenieff is thoroly Russian, and that d'Annunzio is unquestionably Italian.
At the Meteorological Observatory on the Puy de Dome the light had been observed between one and two o'clock in the morning; at Mont Ventoux in Provence it had been seen between two and three o'clock; at Nice it had been noticed between three and four o'clock; while at the Semnoz Alps between Annecy, Le Bourget, and Le Leman, it had been detected just as the zenith was paling with the dawn.
