French Janin objected; he wasn't ready; he wasn't quite sure of what he was going to say. Then: "I haven't anything to show. Perhaps they will laugh at me at Janin, of the Opera Comique. I couldn't allow that." "I'm going to sing," the boy reminded him; "if it's any good they won't laugh. If what you say's right they'll have to believe you." "I feel bad to-night, too, in my legs."
There he was given work of a more permanent kind; he was put under a watchful eye in a group transplanting berry bushes, definitely reassigned to that labor to-morrow. He returned to the camp with a roll of tar paper and, after supper, covered the leaking roof of the shelter. French Janin sat with his blank face following the other's movements.
He at once commenced his system of flattering those who paid him well either in praise or gold, and denouncing authors and actors who were independent of him. His kind aunt now died, after having expended her last franc, and Janin took up a new residence. He soon acquired such fame in his critical writings, that he was at ease.
"M. Janin can take a carriage and go himself to carry his manuscripts to Brussels; M. Sue can get into a boat and sell his books in Greece; M. Loeve-Veimars can oblige his editors if they consent, to make as many printed copies of his future works as there are languages in Europe: all that will be quite right, the Revue is to-day like a publisher.
If we meet her in history or romance, it is always that figure, those pensive eyes, forecasting a fearful doom, that voice whose music is cast in a hopeless minor. It is thus that dramatic genius creates, and poetry disputes with history. Jules Janin says that Rachel is best in those parts of this play where the anger of the Queen is more prominent than the grief of the woman.
He repeated the names of places, opera houses the San Carlo, in Naples; the Scala unknown to Harry Baggs, but which came to him with a strange vividness. The learning of the Serenade progressed slowly; French Janin forgot whole phrases, some of which returned to memory; one entire line he was forced to supply from imagination.
But then he handles his wires so cleverly, and is really so immensely superior to the fictitious individuals whom he places before us, that it is no great wonder if we prefer Alexander Dumas or Jules Janin to their heroes. The Germans, relying on their own powers of belief, have taxed their readers' credulity to a pitch which sober Protestants find it very difficult to attain.
We begin to comprehend his inferiority to Edward, to sympathize with the youth's horror at the sight of this obnoxious husband, "who seems to him," as M. Janin says in his preface, "a hero what do I say? a giant! to the loving, timid, fragile child." "In fine, a certain air of calm rectitude pervaded his person." Our wrath at this last atrocity can hardly be controlled.
English companies were sending out many engineers, old and young, to investigate and handle mining properties in the new field, and were looking everywhere for competent men. Janin was asked by one of these London firms to recommend someone to them. He talked it over with Hoover, telling him that it might be a great opportunity.
Jules Janin said: "He lived ten miraculous years with a breath ready to fly away," and we know that his servant Daniel had always to carry him to bed. For ten years he had suffered from so much illness that a relapse was not noticed by the world. His very death was at first received with incredulity, for, as Stephen Heller said, he had been reported dead so often that the real news was doubted.
