At the head of the Pinkies were Ghip-Ghisizzle and Button-Bright, who had the parrot on his shoulder, and they were supported by Captain Coralie and Captain Tintint and Rosalie the Witch.
He was so bright and clever; it would have been unmanly not to have loved dead Miles' son. Of Coralie Trevelyan I asked but one favor; that she would allow me one week in which to make some arrangement for Clare before she brought the young heir home. She cheerfully agreed to this. "You bear your reverses very bravely," she said.
Coralie had driven all the way from the Boulevard du Temple for the sake of a moment with her lover and a "good-night." Lucien found her sobbing in his garret. She would be as wretchedly poor as her poet, she wept, as she arranged his shirts and gloves and handkerchiefs in the crazy chest of drawers.
Goshen say to Miss Hahpeh, 'Dis ain't ow own li'l pri' " I waved her away and went back into the room; the Captain had called. He asked the time of night; I said it was well after two; he murmured, was quiet, and after a moment spoke my name. I answered, and he whispered "Coralie Rothvelt she's here; I recognized her voice when they were singing. Did you know I knew her?" "Yes, Captain."
"Coralie is raving about you," said Lousteau as he came in. "Your countenance, worthy of the greatest Greek sculptors, has worked unutterable havoc behind the scenes. You are in luck my dear boy. Coralie is eighteen years old, and in a few days' time she may be making sixty thousand francs a year by her beauty. She is an honest girl still.
"Quick, Berenice, some tea! Make some tea," cried Coralie. "It is nothing; it is the air," Lucien got out, "and I have never taken so much before in my life." "Poor boy! He is as innocent as a lamb," said Berenice, a stalwart Norman peasant woman as ugly as Coralie was pretty. Lucien, half unconscious, was laid at last in bed.
The tip of one of its tines was slit, in the slit was a white paper, and in the fork hung the bridle of my horse. I glided to the window. But there bethinking me how many a man had put his head out at just such a place and never got it back, I made a long sidewise reach, secured the paper, and read it. It was the envelope which had contained Coralie Rothvelt's pass.
"Did he tell you to come here?" she whispered. "Heavens, no! I don't suppose he'd do that. He wouldn't do a thing like that. But I'm pretty sure he's in love with that Miss Standish-Roe the beautiful Coralie. He knows it. He won't admit it; but I'm certain he is, and I rather think I'd better open his eyes a little." That last remark did not fall within her understanding. She took no notice of it.
One day Coralie saw the poetic brow overcast, and scolded Berenice, and told her lover that everything would be settled. Mme. d'Espard and Mme. de Bargeton were waiting for Lucien's profession of his new creed, so they said, before applying through Chatelet for the patent which should permit Lucien to bear the so-much desired name.
No longer blest, Yet standing here in silence, may not we Fancy or feign That little flowers do fall about thy rest In silver mist and tender-dropping rain, And that thy world is peace, loved Coralie? Our friendships flee, And, darkening all things with her mighty shade, Comes Misery.
