The usual paralysis following sudden accident was brief on this occasion, for there were two skilful physicians present, one of them having long been the family attendant. Mrs. Allen and Laura, in a half-hysterical state, stood clinging to each other, supported by Mr. Goulden, as the medical gentlemen made a slight examination and applied restoratives.
Goulden looked on and laughed, and I wished them far enough away, that I might tell Catherine that I loved her more and more, and that I would give my life a thousand times for her; but as I could not do that before them, I only thought of these things and was sad. Aunt had a black dress on also, and her prayer-book was under her arm.
I will never forget how at Kaiserslautern, the second day of our march, having unstrapped my knapsack to take out a white shirt, I discovered, beneath, a little pocket, and opening it I found fifty-four francs in six-livre pieces. On the paper wrapped around them were these words, written by Monsieur Goulden: "While you are at the wars, be always good and honest.
Father Goulden rose and walked up and down in great agitation, and as Aunt Grédel was going on again, he took his cap and went out, saying: "I have given you my opinions. Now talk to Joseph; he thinks you are always right." As soon as he had gone, Mother Grédel cried out: "He is an old fool, and he has been, always!
She came very often to see us, with her basket full of fresh eggs, fruits, vegetables, and cakes for our housekeeping, and she would say: "Oh! Mr. Goulden, there is no need to ask if the children are well, you have only to look at their faces." And to me she would say: "There is some difference, Joseph, between being married, and trudging along under a knapsack and musket at Lutzen!"
I see the sky there turnin' like goulden glass agin the windy-pane." But the neighbours protested against their setting forward again; and it was agreed that they should sleep the night at the Kilfoyles'. When this point had been decided, Mrs. Morrough said, "Would that be the say the rustlin' I hear outside there?"
If the prince had known what he is, he would have hung him rather than decorate him with the cross of honor." "That is just the trouble," said Mr. Goulden, "those people do many such things without knowing it, and when they do know, it is too late." So it was that Monseigneur the Duke de Berry, visited the departments of the East. Every word he uttered was taken up and repeated again and again.
This lasted a quarter of an hour, when the door opened and Captain Vidal entered, his cloak rolled like a hunting-horn over his shoulder. "Well," said he, "well; how goes our young man?" "Here he is," answered Monsieur Goulden. "Ah!" remarked the captain; "you are making yourself miserable. It is natural. I remember when I departed for the army. We have all a home."
The gazettes were full of the new constitution, which they called the "Additional Act," and the act of the "Champ de Mai." Mr. Goulden always had something to say, sometimes about one article and sometimes another, but I mixed no more in these affairs, and repented of having complained of the processions and expiations; I had had enough of politics. This lasted till the 23d of May.
"Monsieur Goulden," she would say, "you are not reasonable; you have an ugly cold, and yet you go out every evening." "Ah! my child, what would you have? I have got the habit of reading the gazette, and it is stronger than I. I want to know what Benjamin Constant and the rest of them say, it is like a second life to me and I often think 'they ought to have spoken further of such or such a thing.
