[71] That is to say, in the text: the second title of the whole book, "_ou Les Enfants de Maitre Jacques_," does in some sort give a warning, though it is with Maitre Jacques rather than with his children that the fresh start is made. [72] He has, though unknown and supposed to be an intruder, carried her off from an English adorer--a sort of Lovelace-Byron, whose name is Lord Gousberycharipay (an advance on Paul de Kock and even Parny in the nomenclature of the English peerage), and who inserts h's before French words! [73] If novels do not exaggerate the unpopularity of these persons (strictly the lay members of the S.J., but often used for the whole body of religious orders and their lay partisans), the success of "July" needs little further explanation. [74] That is to say, not a bogey, but a buggy. [75] Here is another instance. Ludovica's father and a bad Russo-Prussian colonel have to be finished off at Waterloo. One might suppose that Waterloo itself would suffice. But no: they must engage in single combat, and even then not kill each other, the Russian's head being carried off by some kind of a cannon-ball and the Frenchman's breast pierced by half a dozen Prussian lances. This is really "good measure." [76] Ousting others which deserved the place better? It may be so, but one may perhaps "find the whole" without particularising everything. Of short books especially, from Fievee's _Dot de Suzette_ (1798), which charmed society in its day, to Eugenie Foa's _Petit Robinson de Paris_ (1840), which amused _me_ when I was about ten years old, there were no end if one talked. [77] _V. inf._ on M. Ohnet's books. [78] Many people have probably noticed the frequency of this name--not a very pretty one in itself, and with no particular historical or other attraction--in France and French of the earlier nineteenth century. It was certainly due to _Le Solitaire_. [79] If any proper moral reader is disturbed at this conjunction of _amante_ and _mere_, he will be glad to know that M. d'Arlincourt elsewhere regularises the situation and calls Night "_l'epouse_ d'Erebe." [80] In the Radcliffian-literary not the Robespierrean-political sense. For the Wertherism, _v. sup._ on Chateaubriand, p. 24 note. [81] He was four years older than Nodier, but did not begin to write fiction nearly so early. The _Phantasiestuecke_ are of 1814, while Nodier had been writing stories, under German influence, as early as 1803. It is, however, also fair to say that all those now to be noticed are later than 1814, and even than Hoffmann's later collections, the _Elixiere des Teufels_ and _Nachtstuecke_.
